He is not the "best" journalist when he talks about China. Sorry. He may be on other issues, but on the issue of the rise of China, Mehdi is extremely biased...to the point of being a joke.
@@Slowpaws1389 As stated I have a lot of respect for Mehdi and this is no way me trying to diminish what you have said but the only real king/queen we had in journalism is/was John Pilger. RIP. x
Yeah but he lied that one time Trump never lied once in his life in fact that’s what he’s most well known for not lying that’s why they call him honest don
Journalists don’t lie on purpose, journalism at its fundamental core is based on multiple sourced and verifiable facts before printing or reporting; you confuse columnists and opinionated talking heads with real journalism there’s a huge difference
To be fair, they didn't hide Tim Walz in a basement. He did countless speeches to Unions, colleges, and both rural and big cities. Sometimes 2 and 3 times in a day. Doing a number of fundraisers. Visiting many local businesses. Just because the media didn't cover him as much doesn't mean he was in a basement not doing anything.
I think it's more that Walz was too little, too late... an empty promise. The time to save the party was by adopting some of Bernie's policies in 2016.
And his appearances(in total time in front of the public with a mic on) notably died down as time approached election day. I remember wondering wtf they were doing. Granted, in my mind I supposed they believe they had it in the bag since Trump appeared to be intentionally trying to fail while not looking like trying to fail. I guess we should never underestimate the thrall of populism and its staying power. That's what I've learned. I hate that lesson, but it's an important one in the current system. Maybe some day we'll get lucky and have a better way of picking good leaders. Democracy, but better. I've had a look at what other countries are doing, and there are several other appealing options. Each has its own problems, but they appear far less vulnerable to populism than ours here in the US.
the most frustrating thing about it is that Democrats not only adopt the right wing redefinition of words (as a slur against supposedly oversensitive cultural warriors), but with it just completely accept the entire right wing narrative around not only this but the entire campaign cycle. Only yesterday everyone was aware that this is just Trump talking out of his behind again and making stuff up by pretending she's black-not-black, that Harris wants to turn schools into dick-chopping factories and will announce the communist people's republic of north America once elected etc. All the sudden dem politicians just accept Trumps alternate reality as truth. There's really no helping this self-defeatist clown show of a party. Goodness, if this party is really the one thing standing between the people and Trump dismantling US democracy, the war is already lost.
Every journalist is biased, including Mehdi, but Mehdi is committed to truth. Which is important in an era where "my truth" is more important than the actual truth. Even if you disagree with him, at least his analysis is based on truth. This is much better than idk Jesse Waters where defending Trump is where is truth begins and ends. Or CNN where bringing a "balanced" approach to having republican and democrat voices speaking on issues is their benchmark of truth. When it obviously hasn't occurred to them that maybe one of those sides is lying and even presenting their side as a fair good faith position is journalistic malpractice. Mehdi is a Gem. So is Ryan Grim, where they are not committed to a particular political party but rather true and factual analysis. The only issue to the bias they may have is the stories they chose to cover as they are progressives.
We don't care about your race or gender. We don't care about "equity" or Alphabet people. What we care about is affordable housing prices and good wages. We care about protecting our borders and our people. We want more police and more prosecutors. We want to feel safe in our homes. The American people are TIRED of identity politics and corporate wokeness. I want Democrats to go back to SANITY! Do that and maybe I'll consider voting for you. If however you make it about left cultural issues, I will vote against you.
My favorite part of these post-mortems is the realization that Democrats NEVER comprehend why they lose and never learn the right lessons from their failures. Don't ever change, Kyle!
I don’t know, sometimes I think a lot of these Dems are like Republicans who know they’re full of shit but if they keep spewing it they’ll get paid so it doesn’t really natter what they say as long as the person who’s telling them to say it is paying them well.
* unless of course there's a fake democrat in our ranks that conveniently torpedoes our majority on the senate, or a parliamentarian says no, or the republicans are complaining too loud that we aren't bipartisan enough and to mean to them. Then there's nothing we can do. Other than that, yes of course - eventually. Maybe.
Her campaign gave off populist and left-leaning vibes in the first few weeks, but that shifted dramatically when corporate dem consultants interfered and told her to go campaign with Republicans instead That said, im not sure if she's allowed to disagree with them and do her own thing anyway, but it's also on her for not realizing that going along with it is a terrible idea
She could have campaigned on free puppies and champagne for everyone and still have lost. Shes the embodiment of the Party, and people are sick of the party that says one thing and then delivers only for the donor class with some rainbow flags throw in. Nobody cares. They want better wages, not competing for jobs with every person with a pulse that gets shepherded across the border by tax payer funded NGOs. And that's just the start. They haven't delivered anything for the working class since Carter.
I don't understand your point. Cenk has been saying the SAME THING as Mehdi; both are very critical of the establishment, pro-corporate Democratic Party "leadership." There would be little or no debate between the two. They BOTH denounce the argument that Harris lost because she ran a too-progressive campaign. They BOTH argue the opposite - that Harris lost because she veered off what started out as a more progressive-populist campaign (as she went up in the polls) that devolved into the ever-losing strategy of going after moderate Republicans and stifling the talk about progressive policy plans. In essence, like 2015, we are in an era of populism. Fake Populist Trump was able to define Hillary Clinton as the Establishment Candidate. And now in 2023, Trump again has defined himself as the outsider-populist and Harris as the Establishment candidate. Harris bought into it - and campaigned as the establishment candidate. The mass of U.S. voters - mostly politically disengaged - in this era will vote for a fake-populist over an establishment candidate. The only thing that can beat a fake-populist in a political climate of populism is a real populist, not an establishment candidate like Harris.
@@rhmayer1Cenk was just on hassans podcast blaming "wokeness" for the democrats lost. He specifically stated trans issues and democrats calling right wingers fascist as a reason democrats lost. He SPECIFICALLY used those two examples.
@@elijaharvinger1178 Thanks. I interpret that a bit differently. I didn't see that show, with Cenk on Mehdi's podcast. But I've heard Cenk railing about the Dems allowing Trump/GOP to go after Harris and Dems on "wokeness" - allowing them to make it an issue. However, Cenk noted that Harris never mentioned "woke" issues EVER during her campaign. She never talked about trans rights, pronouns, DEI, never once used terms like LatinX, etc. Cenk's complaint was how Harris ignored and hid herself from the issue and therefore LET Trump define the narrative - as liberal overreach. With regard to calling right-wingers fascist, his point of view is, while that's true, the Dems spent too much time and energy on the fascism fear angle AT THE EXPENSE OF talking more about populist-progressive policies. That is, that the continual focus on Trump-fascism was NOT producing positive/increasing poll results, while there was statistical evidence that when she spent more time and focus on popular-progressive proposals, like in the earlier part of her campaign, there was tangible positive poll results. So, yes, Harris's/Dem's failure to redefine the Trump's/GOP narrative on "wokeness" (as, in its essence, about civil rights and equality and fairness, and she could've rejected extreme examples to clarify both the issue and her position) and the primary focus on Trump-fascism, were two factors that hurt the Harris campaign and helped lead to the loss. I think that was Cenk's point. Personally, I would agree that the Dem's downplaying of populist-progressive proposals and solutions was the biggest factor (and I think both Cenk and Mehdi agree on that). It's why Hillary lost in 2016 and why Harris lost in 2024 - they both had popular support when they leaned into progressive-populist proposals and solutions and then their support dwindled as their campaigns dropped emphasis on that and went after "moderate" Republicans which, together, re-established themselves as the establishment candidate - allowing Trump to take the (fake) populist mantle and win. I'll need to search for that Cenk-Mehdi podcast. My guess is that they basically agree but probably have disagreements on the nuances.
Exactly. I’m a far left progressive as well and harris was never progressive. Although her policies would have been far better than the tariffs and even more tax breaks for the top wealthy
They can't help themselves. It's like an addiction. Well, it's the result of an addiction to money, anyway. Make every excuse to not do anything that might even slightly threaten the almighty flow of that great green corporate river of moolah.
It isn't about what those people think, it is about what the people who voted thought. Right-wing media associates the middle with the left, then criticises all Dems based on tiktoks etc from the looniest far-left people they can find. When Dems don't counter this, it is taken as truth, and representative of what Kamala stands for. Dems are too busy in-fighting with different factions to watch these sort of videos outside their echochamber.
They mean the trans issue when they say "woke-ism." Most people want kids to be fed at school, and medicare for all, etc. But most people left or right aren't down with the trans rights usurp womens rights thing and that is a far far far left ideology.
@@guy0116 Agreed. The electorates' opinion on politics was stop talking about how your policies won't deviate from your boss who was deeply unpopular, stop parading around Liz fucking Cheney, stop telling people how you'll have Republicans in your cabinet, stop trying to run on a Republican-Lite platform and start talking about strong, progressive economic policies which we know, and have known for decades, even people on the right support. The Democrats decided to ignore it and now they're out of power.
This is the exact problem. You all blame each other when you should be working out how to make the Democratic Party a broach church which has room for many, respectful and respected opinions and beliefs. There needs to be a place for everyone instead of factional in-fighting. Then candidates can feel like they can say where they stand on beliefs, and the whole Party chooses the candidate they most align with. That candidate can then actually have a stance on things without being so scared they'll p- off people in their own party. That is what Democracy is meant to be like - put forth your ideas and people vote on them, and the most popular ideas win and get taken to the electorate.
You and sensible ppl like you should call Stephanie Miller, Randi Rhodes or Rick Smith show and tell them that their promoting more Pete, Hillary or Obama pro-corporate types ISN'T HELPFUL.
Blue dog democrats believe in the trickledown economics. They are really left leaning republicans. They have been pushing back against progressives since 1980.
I've been keeping an eye on it because supposedly all left wing commentators were massively losing subs and followers. Kyle was at 1.36m when the election happened. He's gained 50k subs since the election less than a month ago and he's growing strong💪
Kyle is one of only a few true leftist in this space. . What he says he truly believes and it’s not a money making scheme. I trust his opinion. I hope he gets to 2 mill and more real quick . I listen to him , Hasan , and the majority report. There a few more. But true progressives are very rare.
Go progressive and then constantly remind people that they support those policies. "Hey Missouri, you like the $15 minimum wage, paid sick leave, abortion rights, and expanded Medicaid? Guess which party has been pushing for those policies. It's not the Republicans you elected."
Well we sent you the Cheneys..... and Defeated the 13 who wanted to always vote with Democrats in the House. 2024. That's about Thirty of the RINOs we threw out of Congress in the last three Elections. .Fantastic 😊.
They aren't and as far as I understand nobody in the video is. The Republicans are all elites or brainwashed maga which indeed is brought on by elites. All that I can say is that Republicans have occasionally stated that they hear grievances from the working class and fool voters by not only voting for them, but misdirecting their base regarding the cause. The Democrats on the other hand don't even acknowledge the grievances or at least discuss them. Therein lies the problem. I'm not defending people who were fooled by Republicans, but what do you think would happen in such a scenario when not being completely informed?
We don't really talk about the republican elite because they have basically spent the last 8 years kow towing to Trump, so talk of them still rounds back to trump. They secretly hate him, but they are too cowardly to do anything about it
Because you think everyone is the Republican elite and it's something Republicans talk about all the time. Only thing is we get rid of the Liz Cheney types.
Tim Walz might have won. He gets that it’s about economics. He’s relatable and funny. They promised tiny tax breaks which doesn’t fix the oligarchs system. Instead they put Barack Obama and Bill Clinton out there! They’re basically old style republicans that created the problems in the first place. And then Obama lectured the rallies. Even I was annoyed.
Obama started annoying me when he said codifying Roe v Wade was no longer a priority shortly after he got into office, and chose Wall St instead of Occupy Wall Street. Voters wanted change from the status quo back then because status quo was not working for them. Many voted for Obama because he campaigned as a change agent, but he governed as a moderate Republican to maintain the status quo. Even his signature Affordable Care Act was basically what Mitt Romney put into place in Massachusetts when he was its governor.
The left has been blamed and persecuted since WW 2. US literally collaborated with former Nazis like SS officer Gehlen, who founded the German intelligence agency BND, to hunt communists and socialists all over Europe.
The American political class have been blaming the left for over a century. Before there was this center-right donor-funded political strategist industrial complex and all political media was billionaire-owned and run, the scapegoat of all mainstream American politics was "communists." Scapegoating the left for their own fundamenfal failures is US liberalism's most enduring quality.
Nope Americans need a reset. The world is waiting for America to grow up and drop the national sense of entitlement . Trump getting elected just highlights how dumb huge amounts of Americans really are.
I am progressive and that means I am for unions, gun control, more money for education, millionaires and billionaires paying their fair share, corporations help share the cost of infrastructure, separation of Church and state, equal pay for equal work, better help for college loans, and most importantly the environment. I voted for Kamala Harris /Tim Walz. The blame is on fathers with daughters, men married to women, and women who voted for Rump.
Very well said! I’m for everything you said and most logical people are too. Unfortunately logic gets thrown out the window when a gaslighting windbag comes along and uses his faux identity to trick so many uneducated voters and greedy millionaires into supporting him.
Mike: Harris, Hillary and even Biden NEVER mentioned 3 words: POOR PPL & POVERTY. There are 130,000,000 Americans who fit that description. Rev Bishop Barber represents this group with their yearly march to be heard in DC as part of Barber's Poor Ppl Campaign. Harris could have invited Barber to be on stage, at the DNC, speak on behalf of this MASSIVE & GROWING group of fellow Americans, and offering a common sense, seriously OVERDUE raise in our federal minumum wage of $7.25/hour to $18/hour. Who in the hell can live on $7.25/hour in this country??? Hasn't been raised since 2009. What do you own that hasn't gone up since 2009??? Harris offered $25K for 1st time home buyers, up to $50K to start a business...so how does that help anyone making $13/hour???? 200,000,000 Americans live from paycheck to paycheck. These are all ppl who don't have any investment in this stock market that Dems ALL LOVE TO BRAG about. In other words, Dems aren't ever addressing the largest, most powerful group and this group is ONLY going to get even much much bigger in the next 4 years. Poor Americans are the elephant in the room. Hello??
I live in a red state that voted for Trump. I don't care who you blame there is no excuse for voting for the convicted felon. None period. all these other talking points are mute. It doesn't matter why they voted for Trump or stayed home they did what they did and we are where we are.

Name a left wing policy of Harris'. What you have to understand is the American conception of 'left' is everything left of already far right ideologies.
No, there's no argument at all, in 2020 thousands of Americans were losing their lives to covid, and the store shelves were empty due to disruptions to the supply chain. So no, don't compare 2020 to 2024.
Accusing Trump of being scared of anything rings so hollow after everything the bloodthirsty left put him through. Why go on some biased network to answer questions no one cares about and get wrongly fact checked when it isn't necessary? Trump already did 2 debates, it's not his problem you morons got rid of Biden and installed that idiot drunk.
Not really. The other side ran a campaign of anti immigration Anti CRT Anti diversity Anti black history Anti trans That's when it was over. Tell white people everything is brown people's fault. That is how the right won. I don't know why we're dancing around that. Republicans literally didn't start complaining about the economy and where aid was being sent until two months to go in the election. Prior to that it was everything brown bad. Everything not heterosexual bad Everything designed to give poor people help bad.
Both trump wins were against women and VP Harris ran without preplanning of a campaign that was 102 days long. She did amazingly in that short of a time!
Keeping tucking yourselves into bed discussing what issues Kamala could have talked about to change the out come. Here's the big difference in he candidates. GENOCIDE and no genocide. Now i know if Trump was sitting during this time it would have went down the exact same way but he wasn't sitting and he didn't oversee a genocide. Now I have standards and I wouldn't give my vote to people involved in genocide but I understand we all have different standards and for some, their team winning the big game is more important than the systematic and intentional slaughter of an entire group of people because you'd like the land to build more things on.
As a disaffected Republican, I can say that I was going to vote for Harris without the Liz stuff. It was super interesting from a “hey, this is a neat piece of history” angle…but it seemed like the Harris campaign was trying too hard to court the anti-Trump Republican vote…and they already had it-hashtag because anti-Trump. Also, when I was a wierd-ass Ron Paul libertarian guy, I voted for Tim Walz for congress-and then for governor. That dude actually gives a shit…and he was everything a representative should be. He was in his district having coffee and beers with people and trying to get a feel for where they were coming from and also explaining to them why certain pieces of legislation he voted for would actually help them. Guy is the real deal.
That's such a lame excuse though. We were saying years ago to not run Biden again and hold a robust primary ... The fact is that they were full sail on running Biden AGAIN until what happened in Butler.
@@tonywords6713Yeah. Having 3 months didn’t make her campaign with Liz Cheney, accept Dick’s endorsement of her, say she wants the “most lethal military in the world”, quickly drop her price gouging proposal (one of the very few good things about her campaign), drop the “weird” and “we’re not going back” slogans, which were effective…
I think Harris didn't win because she's a woman and she's of Jamacan and Indian heritage. There is a lot of misogynist people who vote for the person not the policies or the character of the person. I voted for Kamala and Walz and I'm proud of that!
I think Harris could have won if she went more left like Bernie Sanders. I am SO tired of people blaming progressives for democrats losing. No, just be a REAL leftist.
Hey Dems, stop trying to be so politically correct all the time! How about picking some normal people from the working class that know what it's like to be poor? Politics as usual just won't cut it anymore!😮
Yes, and the "woke" crowd are the ones that demand that stuff. The "microaggression" crowd. "omgurd I need my safe space" -- people are done with that and it does hurt us. ua-cam.com/video/mlZ-pDkFvYE/v-deo.html
They don't care. The Dems have NO incentive to actually win. They take in billions from the voters by doing nothing other than not being Trump, and their corporate interests benefit from a Trump presidency. Win win for them
If we can actually trust a recount when SO MANY DEMOCRATIC BALLOTS were challenged by MAGAts throughout the country, but especially in swing states. Were those ballots trashed? Does ANY RECORD of them exist?
The missing votes are all you need to analyse this: Young people didn't show up because the Dem establishment sat back as they were vilified and smeared as anti-Semitic for caring about genocide. She lost because you should never demonize your supporters for caring about genocide. Or tell someone who cares about thousands of dead kids "I'm talking!" like a smug little teacher's pet.
Harris hasn't asked. It's too late now. There is no proof of ourright stealing of our votes. If there was, Harris would have pressed by now. At this point, you and ppl like you only sound like MAGAts.
I have lots of family members who voted for Trump and their main point was that prices were low when Trump was president and they were not interested in any factual rebuttal of why he got lucky on that
Its very often like that. Sometimes people vote for the past, cause in their childhood life was safe and comfortable and they dont realize, it was their parents who provided that, not the time era.
So true. Trump and his MAGA henchmen have been attacking the fringe left as being Marxist, Green New Deal radicals, etc. Although Harris/Walz campaigned on issues that would benefit the working class. Thr MAGA megaphone was louder. They felon won and the career prosecutor who was much more qualified lost.

@albertchavez7645 Doesn't matter what it is in a campaign. All that matters is the are setting the narrative of what it means. You have to defend your position.
My biggest issue with Harris was this: she offered tax credits for starting a business and buying a house. Most Americans don't care to start a business and many feel they can't afford to buy a house. That didn't leave much on the table for the rest of the country.
Well you got to start out working, saving money, building credit for the house part to become achievable. Putting tax credit for small businesses helps create more work opportunities, rather you want to start your own business and employee others or you want to benefit from the business as a worker. Saying these were negatives is a bit short-sighted and sort goes against that there was nothing on the table at least in that aspect. Especially when Trump offered nothing by comparison.
@@vh9networki think those policies are also a deflection. The business starting tax incentives are absolutely right BUT as long as our economy is running on monopolies, cartels and stocks all those new businesses have a minor chance of survival. If you look how to have a successful business, its one specific thing: wealth. Most successful business dont make any money for decades, its just wealth backed, so those businesses can monopolize the markets by offering products and services way under value. Its a perverted system. No small business can afford to pay for 10 year marketing without any income, people have to eat. This way only millionaires can start businesses. PERVERTED

What Democratic process did they miss? Are you mad when she wasn't primaries when the DNC would have chose her anyway or did you want Nancy to pick the candidate instead of Biden? You do know we went for over 150 years without having a primary and the parties picked the candidate. Would you say we weren't a democracy until 50 years ago?

Actually the primaries are just a huge entertainment circus. They should exist, yes, but much smaller. Everyone who is in the party should give a digital vote for the entire country. The whole state caucus thing is ressource wasting.
Look. Donnie won because Harris didn't get to start soon enough (like after a normal primary), and Americans were pissed because of covid inflation, despite the fact that tons of other places had covid inflation, and we were pretty much in the middle of the pack. The electorate bought into Donnie T's "we'll make it all like it was in 2019!" schtick, and where we are. Daddy will make it all better, just ask him. Tch.
The aggregate polls were 100% accurate. People were cherry-picking their favorites based on copium because they didn't want to admit Kamala's numbers froze in September. This chart, though misleading, also shows her campaign's response. Around September 10th she was stuck at 48% and you see them wildly change their strategy. But the chart is misleading because the two sidebars show one as three times larger than it actually is compared to the other. Adjusted for real numbers, Kamala's democracy rhetoric is at or below her anti-elite rhetoric until the last week.
@@MrBazBake The elite rhetoric would have been more apt to get me to vote for her than the Trump is a danger to democracy rhetoric. Bernie has been right for a long time but corporate Democrats don't want that type of politician. They need to quit listening to corporate Democrats if they want to win.voted for her anyway because I lived through Trump'term once and didn't want to do it again.

Each has its own problems, but they appear far less vulnerable to populism than ours here in the US.
Just more MAGA lies.
Walz & even Harris didn't get the press coverage that Dumpty & Vance did with their 3 Ring Circus. Crazy & WEIRD gets more attention every time.
a wonderful thing to hear, i wish I saw it instead of hearing it only *now* from a YT comment
I absolutely love Mehdi Hassan. He did an outstanding interview with Victor Gao. He is not afraid to call out all of the BS.
It's so disgusting to hear folks totally misuse the term "woke". Apparently it was a very successful racist talking point.
the most frustrating thing about it is that Democrats not only adopt the right wing redefinition of words (as a slur against supposedly oversensitive cultural warriors), but with it just completely accept the entire right wing narrative around not only this but the entire campaign cycle. Only yesterday everyone was aware that this is just Trump talking out of his behind again and making stuff up by pretending she's black-not-black, that Harris wants to turn schools into dick-chopping factories and will announce the communist people's republic of north America once elected etc. All the sudden dem politicians just accept Trumps alternate reality as truth. There's really no helping this self-defeatist clown show of a party. Goodness, if this party is really the one thing standing between the people and Trump dismantling US democracy, the war is already lost.
This country is too stupid to comprehend Mehdi.
...and Medhi is too biased 2 UNDERSTAND us! 😡😡😡
Because It is difficult to understand this level of stupidity.
when it is between good and evil , being biased is a duty
Every journalist is biased, including Mehdi, but Mehdi is committed to truth. Which is important in an era where "my truth" is more important than the actual truth. Even if you disagree with him, at least his analysis is based on truth. This is much better than idk Jesse Waters where defending Trump is where is truth begins and ends. Or CNN where bringing a "balanced" approach to having republican and democrat voices speaking on issues is their benchmark of truth. When it obviously hasn't occurred to them that maybe one of those sides is lying and even presenting their side as a fair good faith position is journalistic malpractice. Mehdi is a Gem. So is Ryan Grim, where they are not committed to a particular political party but rather true and factual analysis. The only issue to the bias they may have is the stories they chose to cover as they are progressives.
We don't care about your race or gender. We don't care about "equity" or Alphabet people. What we care about is affordable housing prices and good wages. We care about protecting our borders and our people. We want more police and more prosecutors. We want to feel safe in our homes. The American people are TIRED of identity politics and corporate wokeness. I want Democrats to go back to SANITY! Do that and maybe I'll consider voting for you. If however you make it about left cultural issues, I will vote against you.
My favorite part of these post-mortems is the realization that Democrats NEVER comprehend why they lose and never learn the right lessons from their failures. Don't ever change, Kyle!
Kyle will always be DEMINEM.
I don’t know, sometimes I think a lot of these Dems are like Republicans who know they’re full of shit but if they keep spewing it they’ll get paid so it doesn’t really natter what they say as long as the person who’s telling them to say it is paying them well.
They pretend they don't know...they for sure know!

I wonder if you guys will ever get the newsflash.
PROGRESSIVES ARE NOT POPULAR
Union money has way more influence
@ like higher wages for workers instead of right to work BS
Her campaign gave off populist and left-leaning vibes in the first few weeks, but that shifted dramatically when corporate dem consultants interfered and told her to go campaign with Republicans instead
That said, im not sure if she's allowed to disagree with them and do her own thing anyway, but it's also on her for not realizing that going along with it is a terrible idea
This right here is so true.
She could have campaigned on free puppies and champagne for everyone and still have lost. Shes the embodiment of the Party, and people are sick of the party that says one thing and then delivers only for the donor class with some rainbow flags throw in. Nobody cares. They want better wages, not competing for jobs with every person with a pulse that gets shepherded across the border by tax payer funded NGOs. And that's just the start. They haven't delivered anything for the working class since Carter.
Nothing would have really worked. This was an anti incumbent election worldwide and she lost ALL swing states.
All true!
It was a dud from the start when they didn't allow a Palestinian to speak at the convention.
Medhi Hasan is absolutely right!
Mehdi should debate this with Cenk. Mehdi would kick his ass!!
I don't understand your point. Cenk has been saying the SAME THING as Mehdi; both are very critical of the establishment, pro-corporate Democratic Party "leadership." There would be little or no debate between the two. They BOTH denounce the argument that Harris lost because she ran a too-progressive campaign. They BOTH argue the opposite - that Harris lost because she veered off what started out as a more progressive-populist campaign (as she went up in the polls) that devolved into the ever-losing strategy of going after moderate Republicans and stifling the talk about progressive policy plans.
In essence, like 2015, we are in an era of populism. Fake Populist Trump was able to define Hillary Clinton as the Establishment Candidate. And now in 2023, Trump again has defined himself as the outsider-populist and Harris as the Establishment candidate. Harris bought into it - and campaigned as the establishment candidate. The mass of U.S. voters - mostly politically disengaged - in this era will vote for a fake-populist over an establishment candidate. The only thing that can beat a fake-populist in a political climate of populism is a real populist, not an establishment candidate like Harris.
@@rhmayer1Cenk was just on hassans podcast blaming "wokeness" for the democrats lost. He specifically stated trans issues and democrats calling right wingers fascist as a reason democrats lost. He SPECIFICALLY used those two examples.
@@rhmayer1There's an anti TYT movement because they tell the truth
@@elijaharvinger1178 Thanks. I interpret that a bit differently. I didn't see that show, with Cenk on Mehdi's podcast. But I've heard Cenk railing about the Dems allowing Trump/GOP to go after Harris and Dems on "wokeness" - allowing them to make it an issue. However, Cenk noted that Harris never mentioned "woke" issues EVER during her campaign. She never talked about trans rights, pronouns, DEI, never once used terms like LatinX, etc. Cenk's complaint was how Harris ignored and hid herself from the issue and therefore LET Trump define the narrative - as liberal overreach. With regard to calling right-wingers fascist, his point of view is, while that's true, the Dems spent too much time and energy on the fascism fear angle AT THE EXPENSE OF talking more about populist-progressive policies. That is, that the continual focus on Trump-fascism was NOT producing positive/increasing poll results, while there was statistical evidence that when she spent more time and focus on popular-progressive proposals, like in the earlier part of her campaign, there was tangible positive poll results. So, yes, Harris's/Dem's failure to redefine the Trump's/GOP narrative on "wokeness" (as, in its essence, about civil rights and equality and fairness, and she could've rejected extreme examples to clarify both the issue and her position) and the primary focus on Trump-fascism, were two factors that hurt the Harris campaign and helped lead to the loss. I think that was Cenk's point. Personally, I would agree that the Dem's downplaying of populist-progressive proposals and solutions was the biggest factor (and I think both Cenk and Mehdi agree on that). It's why Hillary lost in 2016 and why Harris lost in 2024 - they both had popular support when they leaned into progressive-populist proposals and solutions and then their support dwindled as their campaigns dropped emphasis on that and went after "moderate" Republicans which, together, re-established themselves as the establishment candidate - allowing Trump to take the (fake) populist mantle and win.
I'll need to search for that Cenk-Mehdi podcast. My guess is that they basically agree but probably have disagreements on the nuances.
I like cenk
Medhi was totally cotrect here. As a far left progressive myself, I can assure you Kamala was never a far left progressive!!
Exactly. I’m a far left progressive as well and harris was never progressive. Although her policies would have been far better than the tariffs and even more tax breaks for the top wealthy
did you vote democrat though?
Why did Trump have videos of Kamala supporting sex changes for people in prison, and adopting people's 'pronouns'. These ideas are not ok.
Dem Party consultant/lobbyist careerists just returning to their usual 'punch left' postmortems after failing again.
They can't help themselves. It's like an addiction. Well, it's the result of an addiction to money, anyway. Make every excuse to not do anything that might even slightly threaten the almighty flow of that great green corporate river of moolah.
It isn't about what those people think, it is about what the people who voted thought. Right-wing media associates the middle with the left, then criticises all Dems based on tiktoks etc from the looniest far-left people they can find. When Dems don't counter this, it is taken as truth, and representative of what Kamala stands for. Dems are too busy in-fighting with different factions to watch these sort of videos outside their echochamber.

If you think the "far left" was the issue in this election your opinions on politics should be swiftly ignored.
They mean the trans issue when they say "woke-ism." Most people want kids to be fed at school, and medicare for all, etc. But most people left or right aren't down with the trans rights usurp womens rights thing and that is a far far far left ideology.
If democrats keep thinking the electorates' opinion on politics should be ignored then they can expect to stay out of power for a long time.
@@guy0116 That part! When they can't present a valid argument, they will shut YOU down and pretend it's taking the high ground.
@@guy0116 Agreed.

Half-ass work gets you half-ass results
This is the exact problem. You all blame each other when you should be working out how to make the Democratic Party a broach church which has room for many, respectful and respected opinions and beliefs. There needs to be a place for everyone instead of factional in-fighting. Then candidates can feel like they can say where they stand on beliefs, and the whole Party chooses the candidate they most align with. That candidate can then actually have a stance on things without being so scared they'll p- off people in their own party. That is what Democracy is meant to be like - put forth your ideas and people vote on them, and the most popular ideas win and get taken to the electorate.

They aren't and as far as I understand nobody in the video is.
The Republicans are all elites or brainwashed maga which indeed is brought on by elites. All that I can say is that Republicans have occasionally stated that they hear grievances from the working class and fool voters by not only voting for them, but misdirecting their base regarding the cause. The Democrats on the other hand don't even acknowledge the grievances or at least discuss them. Therein lies the problem. I'm not defending people who were fooled by Republicans, but what do you think would happen in such a scenario when not being completely informed?
We don't really talk about the republican elite because they have basically spent the last 8 years kow towing to Trump, so talk of them still rounds back to trump. They secretly hate him, but they are too cowardly to do anything about it
Because you think everyone is the Republican elite and it's something Republicans talk about all the time. Only thing is we get rid of the Liz Cheney types.

Tim waltz is a rising star !
Tim Walz might have won. He gets that it’s about economics. He’s relatable and funny. They promised tiny tax breaks which doesn’t fix the oligarchs system. Instead they put Barack Obama and Bill Clinton out there! They’re basically old style republicans that created the problems in the first place. And then Obama lectured the rallies. Even I was annoyed.
Obama started annoying me when he said codifying Roe v Wade was no longer a priority shortly after he got into office, and chose Wall St instead of Occupy Wall Street.
Voters wanted change from the status quo back then because status quo was not working for them. Many voted for Obama because he campaigned as a change agent, but he governed as a moderate Republican to maintain the status quo. Even his signature Affordable Care Act was basically what Mitt Romney put into place in Massachusetts when he was its governor.
The only times I ever saw Walz after the first few weeks they had him running cover for the Israeli genocide. Madness.
You can only blame the left for so long
The left has been blamed and persecuted since WW 2. US literally collaborated with former Nazis like SS officer Gehlen, who founded the German intelligence agency BND, to hunt communists and socialists all over Europe.
The American political class have been blaming the left for over a century. Before there was this center-right donor-funded political strategist industrial complex and all political media was billionaire-owned and run, the scapegoat of all mainstream American politics was "communists." Scapegoating the left for their own fundamenfal failures is US liberalism's most enduring quality.

Rev Bishop Barber represents this group with their yearly march to be heard in DC as part of Barber's Poor Ppl Campaign.
Harris could have invited Barber to be on stage, at the DNC, speak on behalf of this MASSIVE & GROWING group of fellow Americans, and offering a common sense, seriously OVERDUE raise in our federal minumum wage of $7.25/hour to $18/hour.
Who in the hell can live on $7.25/hour in this country??? Hasn't been raised since 2009.
What do you own that hasn't gone up since 2009???
Harris offered $25K for 1st time home buyers, up to $50K to start a business...so how does that help anyone making $13/hour????
200,000,000 Americans live from paycheck to paycheck. These are all ppl who don't have any investment in this stock market that Dems ALL LOVE TO BRAG about.

Trump already did 2 debates, it's not his problem you morons got rid of Biden and installed that idiot drunk.
Mehdi was spot on. Many times it was almost like watching old political commercials with Harris .. She sounded like a Republican of 25 years ago.
The moment she decided to run as Biden in a pantsuit she lost. That’s it. Nothing more to it.
Not really. The other side ran a campaign of anti immigration
Anti CRT
Anti diversity
Anti black history
Anti trans
That's when it was over. Tell white people everything is brown people's fault. That is how the right won. I don't know why we're dancing around that. Republicans literally didn't start complaining about the economy and where aid was being sent until two months to go in the election. Prior to that it was everything brown bad. Everything not heterosexual bad
Everything designed to give poor people help bad.
Even asking the Dems to go left enough so Reagan isn't considered a centrist is apparently marxist of us.
I love Medhi Hassan.. He speaks the truth plus he had receipts to back it up. Medhi Hassan had every right to go after the Democrats.
Both trump wins were against women and VP Harris ran without preplanning of a campaign that was 102 days long. She did amazingly in that short of a time!
Keeping tucking yourselves into bed discussing what issues Kamala could have talked about to change the out come.
Here's the big difference in he candidates. GENOCIDE and no genocide. Now i know if Trump was sitting during this time it would have went down the exact same way but he wasn't sitting and he didn't oversee a genocide.
Now I have standards and I wouldn't give my vote to people involved in genocide but I understand we all have different standards and for some, their team winning the big game is more important than the systematic and intentional slaughter of an entire group of people because you'd like the land to build more things on.
As a disaffected Republican, I can say that I was going to vote for Harris without the Liz stuff. It was super interesting from a “hey, this is a neat piece of history” angle…but it seemed like the Harris campaign was trying too hard to court the anti-Trump Republican vote…and they already had it-hashtag because anti-Trump.
Also, when I was a wierd-ass Ron Paul libertarian guy, I voted for Tim Walz for congress-and then for governor. That dude actually gives a shit…and he was everything a representative should be. He was in his district having coffee and beers with people and trying to get a feel for where they were coming from and also explaining to them why certain pieces of legislation he voted for would actually help them. Guy is the real deal.

Why don't they do a HAND BALLOT RECOUNT before placing blame for a loss that might not have even occurred.
They don't care. The Dems have NO incentive to actually win. They take in billions from the voters by doing nothing other than not being Trump, and their corporate interests benefit from a Trump presidency. Win win for them
If we can actually trust a recount when SO MANY DEMOCRATIC BALLOTS were challenged by MAGAts throughout the country, but especially in swing states. Were those ballots trashed? Does ANY RECORD of them exist?
The missing votes are all you need to analyse this: Young people didn't show up because the Dem establishment sat back as they were vilified and smeared as anti-Semitic for caring about genocide. She lost because you should never demonize your supporters for caring about genocide. Or tell someone who cares about thousands of dead kids "I'm talking!" like a smug little teacher's pet.
Harris hasn't asked. It's too late now.
There is no proof of ourright stealing of our votes. If there was, Harris would have pressed by now.
At this point, you and ppl like you only sound like MAGAts.
My thoughts exactly. We actually won. Why is the media not picking up on that? 🤔
I have lots of family members who voted for Trump and their main point was that prices were low when Trump was president and they were not interested in any factual rebuttal of why he got lucky on that
Its very often like that. Sometimes people vote for the past, cause in their childhood life was safe and comfortable and they dont realize, it was their parents who provided that, not the time era.

Bernie should have spoken to his Bernie or bust people in 2016. He speaks about everything else.
Mehdi is excellent.
I agree with your analysis.
The problem is that the right was talking about woke, you have to defend yourself against their accusations. They didn't fight back.
So true. Trump and his MAGA henchmen have been attacking the fringe left as being Marxist, Green New Deal radicals, etc. Although Harris/Walz campaigned on issues that would benefit the working class. Thr MAGA megaphone was louder. They felon won and the career prosecutor who was much more qualified lost.

Not only did they not fight back Joe Biden had to do it alone, and got dragged faster than he could fall. I wish they had the same energy for the other party. Definitely the party of eating their own. No solidarity, just different factions with their own sense of entitlement and bs moral compasses. We always lose in the end and can never get or keep significant change.
What in the hell is woke !!!
@albertchavez7645 Doesn't matter what it is in a campaign. All that matters is the are setting the narrative of what it means. You have to defend your position.
Walz/AOC '28 i'm calling it now
Good team!
You actually made me smile, thanks
There will not be elections in 28....wake up Trump will ban them
Trump got more votes in her district than she did
@@andreah6379I agree and I also love Crockett.
The Ratchet Effect and New World Order were always real.
My biggest issue with Harris was this: she offered tax credits for starting a business and buying a house. Most Americans don't care to start a business and many feel they can't afford to buy a house. That didn't leave much on the table for the rest of the country.
Well you got to start out working, saving money, building credit for the house part to become achievable.
Putting tax credit for small businesses helps create more work opportunities, rather you want to start your own business and employee others or you want to benefit from the business as a worker.
Saying these were negatives is a bit short-sighted and sort goes against that there was nothing on the table at least in that aspect. Especially when Trump offered nothing by comparison.
Lmao what?…. I really wish we can stop this narrative… she was black and a woman… America wasn’t ready for that… full stop
What's wrong with buying a house, or even a condo? owning your own home is the best protection against out of control rents!
@@vlmhma.7414 its a bit of clientel politics. Its great but only 5% of voters are in that clientel.
@@vh9networki think those policies are also a deflection. The business starting tax incentives are absolutely right BUT as long as our economy is running on monopolies, cartels and stocks all those new businesses have a minor chance of survival.
If you look how to have a successful business, its one specific thing: wealth. Most successful business dont make any money for decades, its just wealth backed, so those businesses can monopolize the markets by offering products and services way under value. Its a perverted system. No small business can afford to pay for 10 year marketing without any income, people have to eat.
This way only millionaires can start businesses. PERVERTED
They stopped calling maga weirdos… why???
Spot on on all counts🎯
As D tired of the stupid word WOKE
Well you had BlackRock and it's ,70 other allied firms using their $71 TRILLION to enforce WOKE and CRT, DEI on Corporate America, including 76% of our top 20 banks. All whose major stockholder is one of the BlackRock 70 Gang.
Yo it was the media and right who push woke for 5 yrs!
I’m all in on a Walz/Crockett 2028 campaign.
Hear Hear.
5:34 THANK YOU Medi! For the love of god, I am NOT going crazy!
Kyle - I'm thinking you would be a mighty fine leader for this country. 😊
It is about time!!!
Also, to speak on a threat to democracy while literally dismissing an entire democratic process is laughable, ironic, and hypocritical.
What Democratic process did they miss? Are you mad when she wasn't primaries when the DNC would have chose her anyway or did you want Nancy to pick the candidate instead of Biden? You do know we went for over 150 years without having a primary and the parties picked the candidate. Would you say we weren't a democracy until 50 years ago?
@reginafetty6374 Yes, we were not. Thanks for saying that the Democrats have not been practicing democracy for a while now. Did you really think you said something that disproved that democracy was not in jeopardy? That my comment was not valid? 😂😂😂
@@JusSick24 Who else was running? Do you honestly think Dean Phillips, Marianne Williamson, or the literal absence of a person would have won a series of primaries even if we were able to organize them in a month?
No, sorry, deflection. The primaries are not THAT important.
Actually the primaries are just a huge entertainment circus. They should exist, yes, but much smaller. Everyone who is in the party should give a digital vote for the entire country. The whole state caucus thing is ressource wasting.
number 1
Move on and regroup
Happy I found this channel
Look. Donnie won because Harris didn't get to start soon enough (like after a normal primary), and Americans were pissed because of covid inflation, despite the fact that tons of other places had covid inflation, and we were pretty much in the middle of the pack. The electorate bought into Donnie T's "we'll make it all like it was in 2019!" schtick, and where we are. Daddy will make it all better, just ask him. Tch.
Kamala was up by 7 points. You mean the polls that had Kamala leading in Iowa?
The aggregate polls were 100% accurate. People were cherry-picking their favorites based on copium because they didn't want to admit Kamala's numbers froze in September.
This chart, though misleading, also shows her campaign's response. Around September 10th she was stuck at 48% and you see them wildly change their strategy.
But the chart is misleading because the two sidebars show one as three times larger than it actually is compared to the other. Adjusted for real numbers, Kamala's democracy rhetoric is at or below her anti-elite rhetoric until the last week.
If you MAGAites would simply STOP LYING to pollsters...
@@MrBazBake The elite rhetoric would have been more apt to get me to vote for her than the Trump is a danger to democracy rhetoric. Bernie has been right for a long time but corporate Democrats don't want that type of politician. They need to quit listening to corporate Democrats if they want to win.voted for her anyway because I lived through Trump'term once and didn't want to do it again.
The Democrats just got their last vote from me. Voted democrat in every election since 1980- they have become the Republicans.
And Republicans are dictators 🙄🤷♂️💀
In a country where only 2 parties are viable, if you do vote another party it will never matter. Nobody is listening, like soooooo many claim it does.
You will either help the dictator & his billionaire crooks or never be heard again.
@@andreah6379 I will not allow the democrats to hold a knife labeled republicans to my throat anymore. Be a better party, actually address the material conditions that people are facing, and strip corpos of their power. If they go screaming to the right over the next two years, they will never get my vote again. I'm done with their bullshit. If the republicans are an actual threat to everything, they would actually do something about it. But they won't. They make more money that way
Remember the Whig party? Why can't we oust the dem party lol. So tired of holding my nose and voting for Harris/Biden/Clinton types
