It's that she laughs when asked serious fucking questions, the same way Obama laughed off ISIS as a JV team and Russia as 'not a geopolitical threat, the 80s want their policy back!'
I will be honest, I was wary* about Biden dropping out of the race, that said the immense support Kamala has gotten has just made me way more optimistic about the future, and here is to hoping that things go well.
People were worried Harris would have to take over for Joe already. Putting her at the top of the ticket is a loss. Dems need a new aggressive ticket with new, bold visions. Make Harris AG and get rid of Garland. Newsome/Buttigieg 2024.
@codydavis3100 well for starters, george washington wasn't being begged by all his supporters to not run again. Second of all, you write and insult people like a redditor.
Trust me, they're laughing on the right. It's absurd to suggest that Kamala is going to magically poll significantly better than the incompetent president she worked under. The same President that she kept lying about, saying that he was perfectly fine. I can't imagine being so delusional as to think Kamala is a major improvement. How can you possibly vote for a woman who lied to you about the state of the President's mental health?
It's looking like most of the failures were on the local cops. The local cops had multiple interactions with the shooter and failed to stop him for questioning, even retreated when they saw him with an AR.
@@StreetSmartAI As someone with a mother who is also a step-mother - when exactly, in your all-seeing wisdom, does it become acceptable to consider her their mother? I'm sure they'd love your opinion. Do tell me how wrong I am to love the woman who stepped up and took that place. Please, go on.
@@bulletsandbracelets4140 I'm saying, she didn't change their diapers, watch them when they were kids and knew nothing about the world, didn't go through the actual physical pain of child birth, didn't teach them how to walk, talk, etc. She didn't raise them. Being a stepmom doesn't make you 'less of a mom' in that you do mother-like things. As a step-parent, it really depends on you if you're a mom or not and up to the stepchild whether they consider you a mom or not, but raising a kid who's 14 is a lot easier than raising a kid all the way from birth, if you're argument is against that opinion, I'm sorry, but your opinion is incorrect. I don't think you're 'less of a mom,' but thanks for trying to act like I said something overtly offensive because you somehow put yourself in the place of Kamala because you, too, are a step-mom. Mind you, I think there are plenty of things to criticize with Harris, the mom thing isn't a thing to me, but it's not really wrong to say she hasn't raised children. And that does have a role to play because your beloved party in California wants to allow kids to change their names and gender without even telling the parents. That's why it becomes a criticism. Or do you think schools should be able to change kids' names and genders without even consulting the parents?
@@StreetSmartAI You are dismissing not only step mothers but also adoptive mothers then. How dare you say that in order to "raise" someone you have to have been there to change diapers. You are literally arguing that being a step mother makes her less of a mother. You have no right to dictate how they see her role in their life, and I think it's pretty horrible behavior to even insinuate it. It's disrespectful to them and to her. It's absolutely wrong to make any statements about her family for a political dunking point. Much less invalidate her family just to push your own idea of what a family should look like. Idk if you are trying to come off as respectful right now but I am not the audience. Raising a kid from 14 comes with it's own set of challenges and... you know what. I'm not validating this with anything more. You are wrong. That's all there is to it. Edit: oh wait, oh my god, you are doing the California misinfo thing. Hilarious, I thought you were serious! Do I need to know what my child is called at school by their friends when it isn't a problem and my child is happy? Nope! Because I would trust that my child would feel comfortable coming to me with anything they wanted to talk about. And if a teacher had to hear about it, without my knowledge, I would consider that a failure of my own parenting. Unlike you, I don't take my insecurities out on other people, or expect teachers to fulfill the role of parent in my children's lives. Thanks.
I'm excited for seeing more of the left freak-out when they realize Kamala is only going to pick up like a half a point or point more in the polls than Biden.
Its nice hearing this mature conversation about Kamala getting the nomination. I unsubscribed from TYT because Cenk has come unhinged, calling for an open convention contest for the nomination, instead of just pushing for a solid VP.... He's also claiming TYT influenced Biden's decision, which is absurd.
I agree , even Hassan seems to be ok with Kamala … I think Cenk is acting really bizarre … it’s almost like he is ok if Trump wins again … the fight is over .. what everyone wanted was Biden to not run on next election. There was not a fight to dismantle completely the election into a full blow new election
@@XerrolAvengerII it's left leaning infotainment, not actual policy or news. he just yells a lot and gets outraged but nothing happens. he's chasing the dollars
And it's precisely that bizarre rant why I don't want her running the Country. She's an idiot. If it's her or Trump then it's her but come on. Is this the best we have?
Do you think it’s better for harris if she gets to debate Trump or if Trump refuses like he did for the primary? I feel like she would rip him apart but on the other hand if he refused she would ridicule him in a way republicans refused to do. Needless to say so excited about this election now. Beat trump this year and at the very least we probably won’t have to deal with him as a candidate again
Name me a single good Kamala Harris debate performance. The last debate I remember from her, she said she wouldn't take the same exact vaccine she wound up taking unless Trump wasn't President... That's her most memorable debate moment to date. She will do better than Biden but there's so much material on Kamala, in part, because she's part of the mess of the last 4 years. You swapped an unpopular incumbent with an unpopular vice president and you're excited about it. LOL
It's definitely better if they debate. I think Kamala would be smart enough to turn his record and rhetoric against him, and working class people deserve to hear someone talking about actual solutions vs just selling them on the problems and the enemies causing them. I don't know if she'd bring anyone over, but I'd really love to see her try.
The best path is to force unification behind an unliked candidate that doesn't poll significantly better than Biden. I think the DNC will be chaos regardless if it's the brainwashed for Kamala route or the 'let's pretend this is an actual open process' route.
There is a story of contrast that tells itself, no effort required. It's about one party's absolute and unconditional fealty to a personality, existing within a bubble reality; in stark relief against another party's fundamental impulses to listen to its members, to put country over party, and to always, always acknowledge objective reality over distortion and anti-intellectualism.
Manchin already said he's not running because 'who needs that,' because he knows anyone going up against Kamala is going to be panned for not being a black female because that's what matters to Democrats instead of GOOD FUCKING POLICIES.
It's funny certain people want open convention. Harris would win it anyway. What's the point? Time is of the essence. She needs to focus on her campaign & making her case.
What’s the point you ask? Uhhhhm how about democracy is the point 🤬 She would have made it to presidential nominee without voters having elected her, 3 years ago she could not even make it to IOWA. Democracy is not based on your desired outcomes it is a process!!
God forbid we even act like there’s a democratic process at play in our elections. Biden side stepped any primary debates-which would have brought some of his deficits to light earlier-and now we need to accept his VP selection as the presidential candidate without any discussion. What’s to stop democratic leaders from drumming up bullshit to push donor preferred candidates in the future? People should be more concerned about ensuring there is a fair process in place. I’m okay if it’s Kamala in the end, but the concept of anointing a candidate feels undemocratic.
@@TheNinjackal ....and they're doing it by process. She's literally the automatic president if something happened to biden. That's what the vp is for. Something happened, he stepped out of the race.
My whole Arab community friends and family are still uncommitted, she hasn’t given us any assurances that the bombs will stop. Our conscience will not allow us to vote for her otherwise.
It’s okay to be uncommitted, she hasn’t done anything to earn votes from your community. I just hope she changes that, I don’t want her to write off Muslim-Americans just because she may not need their support, and she has to do a lot more than talk about it.
I think that's a valid position. However, in a binary race, every action, voting or not voting, either helps or hurts the ultimate winner. And if Trump wins, the question is would it be better or worse for Gaza, and would not voting for Kamala Harris have helped or hurt that outcome.
@@joelsommers The real question is: which President would have enough courage to actually tell Nethanyahu to go f himself. I think the answer is pretty clear who that is.
@@joelsommers Regardless of the lesser evil. I cannot look at the faces of people who have lost enough limbs and loved ones without anesthesia or food and say I voted for the less risky. Also along with my conscience I have to face God inevitably and want to at least sleep knowing that if she does send more weapons I wasn’t a part of her being in power. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself.
progressive? She wasn't progressive during Biden's first term, why should we believe she will be more so now? I do think she's better than Biden and his stepping down reenergized the party
How can a future Trump Administration keep good intelligence on the Soviets, Chinese, North Koreans and Iranians when they weren’t prepared for Madame Vice President here?
There was never any real doubt that Biden wouldn't wind up being the nominee, it just wasn't obvious that the DNC would be so undemocratic as to just try to throw Kamala in even though it seemed the most likely once black voters started saying it would be racist if anyone but her got picked. Nobody could possibly predict the insanity of the DNC at this stage. After all, THEY PRETENDED BIDEN WAS MENTALLY OK FOR 3 YEARS, KEPT HIM FROM THE MEDIA AND NOT ONLY DID THE MEDIA LOOK THE OTHER WAY... SO DID LEFTIST PODCASTS LIKE THIS ONE. LOL
You're right, just make it completely obvious the DNC isn't actually democratic. Sounds like a winning strategy for the party that claims Trump is a 'threat to democracy.'
To be fair, a lot of black folks knew about Kamala being Willie Brown's fine yellow piece that he would flaunt around town from time to time. He had a "type." Common knowledge in the Bay Area. Not exactly the most egregious example of nepotism in government employment.
We have to accept the probability that Biden may have already planned on dropping out a while back and waited this long to deliberately draw out republican hopes just to drop out right after the RNC, when it would frustrate them the most, I’d say perfect timing, Mr President, that was a noble power move, he stepped aside for someone else, something Trump would never do.
There seem to be a lot of commentators talking about how delusional people are to support Harris but rarely do they suggest an alternative that would be better. If most of the potential candidates are coalescing behind Harris for whatever reason then that’s fine, right? I assume some people are genuine and some are disingenuous but just calling people delusional without offering an alternative who is ACTUALLY running does nothing to add to the conversation.
I've checked out of political podcasts for a while (including this show...) due to the depressing state of politics. But this...! This whole recent chain of events, I did _not_ expect. Kamala Harris brings a different energy and resonates with the public in a way that is relevant to the current age. Biden, sadly, could not. But what I'm most impressed by is the rapid public unity behind her. Incredible. What I find hilarious is that there is no answer to her. Nothing is sticking. "Cat lady" "diversity hire" (the new 'woke' but with more meandering letters) "no kids" "her laugh". It's like...whatever...And then there is JD Vance lmao! 😂
Off topic, Sam's expression @ 53:05 When Dave Weigel brings up Eric Weinstein...I felt a flash of recognition there. I was rolling. The disgust is palpable.
The funny thing about you joking about Truth Social, is that it made him a billion $ in equity and had you guys not censored him from twitter, he wouldn't have even got involved with it. That's the funny part of this joke of yours... bahahahaha
Yeah you were right Steve I'm fired up ready to go I'm feeling so patriotic I know we could do this let's win Democrats Republicans independent All of us together now out of many come one. Yeah but we're not going to be shouting that q or not come one come all crap. 🏳️🌈🙏🙏💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
"In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I don't shrink from that responsibility, I welcome it."---------President John F. Kennedy
You know how Trumpers wear 45 hats? Someone should make 34 hats for the number counts he’s been convicted on. Bonus points for attending a Trump rally with one and not explaining it to anyone.
Democrats spend their time thinking like this, instead of wondering how Kamala is going to win over the non-committed voters with her history of AIPAC money. Funny.
An an open convention would draw a lot of viewers and ratings that would shame Trump. By allowing other members of the party to participate in the choice it would help bring the party behind a platform. It would demonstrate how a party operates compared to a cult of personality. It would also create excitement and confuse the Republicans on who they are running against.
You make some good points there. I was leaning on just making Kamala the nominee, but now I’m thinking twice. Thats some good strategic thinking you e got going on there. 👍
Emma fantastic just so good to see the support for Harris unlike TYT Emma so please to see your support its a good day for USA and also for the rest of us
Let’s “save democracy” by, uhhh, having a candidate chosen by party leadership, to, uhhhh, defeat a candidate who was elected in a series of primaries? 😅😅😅
Will you be voting for the philosophy that heralded slavery, designed and supported Jim Crow, filibusterred anti lynching and civil rights legislation and to keep in that line of thinking demanded to see Obama’s birth certificate. That is the wonderful philosophy of conservatives.
I would love it if Harris' VP pick is Stacy Abrams. I know it's not likely to happen, because two women of colour on the ticket might explode all the brains, but she's such a good community organizer, she did so much to get out the vote in 2020 and 2022 - it would be a sign to the grass roots people that they are part of the Democratic Party.
out: Jeb Bush please clap. in: Kamala Harris yes! you may clap! So unburdened by what has been. Such a night and day relief seeing Kamala’s charisma compared to Joe Biden…anyway
Bernie wouldn’t have added anything to the ticket, just the same as Tim Kaine. She needed a bolder, yet still a man. Tom Perez, Julian Castro, Corey Booker or John Hinkenlooper would have all helped her ticket more.
@@gothgammy666 I really disagree. Bernie had almost toppled Hillary in the primaries & had millions of ardent supporters. If she could have set aside her personal animosity toward him & put him on the ticket it would have symbolized a burying of the hatchet between the progressive wing of the Democratic Party & the corporate, neoliberal establishment. She could have planted Bernie in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, where his FDR-New Deal policies would have been very popular. She would have won those 3 states, ended up with at least 273 electoral votes & would have won the election. The candidates you mentioned, while very good people, were all pretty much non-entities.
Sam. Samuel. The whole point of having kids is so that they can work the technology for you. Next time just hand the phone to you kid and have them set up the broadcast.
