As an Australian, I can't understand why Trump is even competitive. Is nothing getting through the right-wing media net? The world is very worried about this situation. We can't survive four more years of Trump. Those who can, please stop it happening. Get out and Vote Blue!
Their nicknames are faux news and fox propaganda network. Prior court cases have determined they don’t have to provide facts as they are not a news channel but a commentary channel. It’s bs and the type of past rulings that compounded on itself to where we are today. Straight hate and propaganda sent to the dumbest people that think it is truth. Watch a few segments a Fox News. I have, and it’s utterly fascinating how they take a generalized concept that most independence and sane people would take and then slowly shifted by the end of the segment of spewing pure hate.
As a citizen of a small Western country allied with the USA, I have been alarmed at polls indicating that Trump is leading. If he were to be elected president the effect upon the entire world would be catastrophic. I find Rachel's words comforting in the extreme. Thank you for bringing such an astute and insightful commentator into your show.
Not one conviction.what war exactly did he start we are in the middle of 3 wars.paying for them.this is so stupid that you can't get the information your self.its called history.they want this country and you are giving it to them. Militia is the 300 million we the people.facts don't look good for you
@@prehistoricgentlemanbird9131 oh that doesn’t fit your biased media narrative, you may have to read it a few times and use your brain and actually think and come up with a opinion of your own instead of letting the duopoly brainwash you
We've already seen Trump win an Election, in 2016, when he lost the Popular Vote by about 3m and mathematically he could potentially lose the Popular Vote in November by 4-5m and still have a "fighter's chance" to win the Electoral College and the Presidency. Everybody must vote!
Can we just call out the fact that more educated voters aren’t likely to respond to those stupid phone text polls because we all know it’s not safe to click random links from strangers? That has to have an effect on polling numbers.
Do yourself a favor, watch more than CNN, MSNBC, try Fox or Newsmax, get both side opinions. Youll see for yourself the spin on narrative. Youll see democrats on Fox, but republicans are never welcomed on Cnn, msnbc or nbc,abc, cbs! Should tell you something,
That said, (not that I know your age), but probably this kind of channel that makes politics easier to understand, gives context, etc Also, freedoms and rights were not being taken away after working so hard to get them.
Have to say, I’m Canadian and I feel like I’m more into the US election than a lot of Americans. We’re frightened to death over here that Trump will get in again, this lady makes me feel a little better but I won’t stop paying attention. Obviously I can’t vote but I’ll keep sending my Canadian space laser positive vibes for a Biden/Harris win!
I think we’ve been in PTSD for over 8 years. I don’t understand how anyone could vote for this guy. Crazy 🤪. I’m praying and I know many are for sanity.
@@ghostsyynx And, folks need to vote in all elections; local, state and Congressional (the Senate and House of Representatives) as well as the presidential race. The presidency needs support.
It did my heart good to hear a political scientist with a phD call it "maga cult". It is what it is. I got some reassurance from her explanations. Thank you for bringing her on. I'd love to see her as a regular guest. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hi Canada ! I love your country and wished i would have stayed there when it was easier to immigrate .. It depends on where in the US . Here in the Bay Area ( especially where i live in the Berkeley/ Oakland area ) My community is VERY aware of what could happen It is VERY scary . But yes , in general Americans are very LAZY about voting and educating themselves . I'm helping to take care of my mom or I'd leave now Peace
With all due respect, you just gave a big boost to Biden-As-Senile-Theater Did you see the post meeting press conferences in which Biden described the complex relationship between Japan and the U.S. Biden was spectacular, both in his prepared statement and in Q&A. Why not show a few minutes of Biden describing past, current, and future Far East issues? Why do shows like this promote ageism, and enhance the false notion that the real race is whether Biden or DT will land on senility first. PS WMV : White Male Victims. The most privileged, pampered group in history. And yet, they whine incessantly. the perpetual victims.
THANK YOU! Women and or Men who love their women, or anyone, you must see the total truth that WOMENS RIGHTS TO CHOSE ARE SO IMPORTANT!! Vote Vote Vote BLUE 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you. I am a veteran and a US citizen and after Traitor Trump I know how important voting is. I never voted in local or state elections until MAGA and Traitor Don arrived on scene; now I NEVER miss a vote, large or small. MAGA radicalized me - to vote against them, every time!
@JG-MVI hope that most Dems in NY don't feel that way. We can't be complacent and let Trump win. This is more than just about Joe Biden's handling of the war. If Trump gets in, it's worse for everyone, here and abroad.
None of us are complacent!! And are aware of the stakes!! But it’s way too early to panic and Trump will always need an additional 10 million votes which is not ever going to happen!
@JG-MV And we won’t be voting for a 1 term loser a 2 times impeached former sitting Fat orange loser according to all reports a smell that would even a skunk 🦨 go he stinks 😂😂😂
I was polled by phone a week ago for the first time ever as a registered voter. The questions started out my age, occupation, do I vote, how often I vote, will I be voting, then asking about Biden vs. Trump. I basically told the pollster I would not vote for Trump under any circumstances. Then some questions about inflation and the economy, the border, Russia/Ukraine, Israel/Palestine, but oddly nothing at all about Trump's election denial, lawsuits, Jan. 6th, etc. as if they were not even relevent issues. Then he went on to questions about whether I will likely be voting for Sherrod Brown (I'm in Ohio) and I said yes. There seemed to be a lot of framing around how various dumb right-wing talking points would affect my decision on whether I would vote for him, such as if he were to vote to pass laws in support of abortion "up until birth", and transgenders in women's sports, then would I reconsider? It all seemed really right-wing culture war biased as if to insinuate that those are the more relevent issues to be concerned with. No mention at all about healthcare, prescription drugs, social security, student loan debt or any of that.
This is why my conservative Christian non-political parents get so confused and frustrated when I try to explain all of the propaganda talking points that they believe, and they cant understand why I bring up totally different topics during a discussion about one topic, nor do they understand why they matter as a whole. It's so exasperating. Because they aren't inherently stupid, just uninformed, misinformed, and stuck in the old ways of Southern Baptist that they were born and raised in. They are slowly trying to understand my progressive perspectives though, especially when I explain that Jesus was a progressive and would have agreed with all of my humanitarian, empathetic, and scientific ways of thinking. There are ways to get people to listen, if y'all take time and patience to reach out to people who don't understand things. Plant the seed of knowledge in others, and hope it grows!!! 💜💙💚
Maybe introduce them to Tennessee Brandos videos... he has a way of explaining things in his Tennessee accent that just might register with them. Just a thought!
Your way of reaching out to your family is the only way.....patience and understanding. I am still going through that, too....at least we can have normal conversations. Unfortunately, that is not working with many onetime friends, which I have lost, but life is too short to exhaust ourselves ad infinitum trying to reach them and free them from radical Evangelicalism.
😂 easy answer tell your parents that the Republicans will take away their social security and Medicare and show them multiple clips on RU-vid where Republicans have said exactly that even if the parents are racist or overly Christian or anti-abortion the one thing they do worry about is losing their social security
We have such a spoiled, privileged and entitled self-absorbed society, they don’t realize how hard it has been to win those freedoms. It doesn’t come for free. People just like to be entertained. They forgot that over million people died of Covid due the criminal negligence of Trump who knew what was happening in early December 2019 but didn’t do anything or told anyone until it hit hard in March 2020. I have not forgotten, I will not forgive him.
@@greggiles7309 He was fine with lying early on because only blue states were being hit hard early. His ineptitude has led to more of his own base dying from the pandemic than his political opponents whom he wanted to die.
I hear people whining about grocery prices and yes, they are high but people are acting like it is the only issue!! Like mules with their little blinders on. It's pretty disheartening. And you would think Roe would have caused even more uproar than it has. What part of losing a basic human right do you not get???
@@reneelibby4885I am so sad how much time I spend explaining to young women what is on the ballot for Women.. Trump wants a full ban. Women are suffering already! If he gets elected, it’s gonna be a bloodbath of young women and girls.
*She is absolutely bang on! Even in my own country 🇨🇦, I am continuously shocked by the ignorance of basic civics in the average voter. And from my observation of comments about American politics, I'm even more shocked!* *There was a time when civics and history were considered to be really important subjects in our educational systems, but they have been de-prioritized in favour of a focus on STEM education. That has weakened both our countries significantly.*
I am a history major with a political science minor. In particular, I would be interested in knowing. Exactly when were history and civics considered important in our education system? Let me give you some help. I am 62. I went to high school in the 1970s. Civics wasn't taught in school then. Civics would have to have been considered important before the 1970s.
71 year old here....Civics required all through school. American History every year. English every quarter. I graduated HS in 1971 and was a pretty well educated citizen and well prepared for college. I can spell too!
@@peggynulsen1365I’m of the same era but Canadian. Starting from 7th grade through to 12th whether it was actual civics or a unit in social studies our political systems were studied. It was helpful
@@peggynulsen1365 I was a freshman in 1976 and graduated in 1980. Civics was not taught in my high school. When I was in the first grade we had duck and cover drills. When I was in the second grade we didn't have them any more. I guess they figured out that a plywood desk wouldn't protect you from an atomic bomb. Do you remember those?
@@MarkDalbey-cv9sb hi Mark. I went to 5th grade (1963) in Richland, Wash. Located a few miles from the Hanford Atomic Works, we had regular drills as you described. Being a rather precocious, science oriented student, I was pretty sure this would not work in the event of a nuclear accident or attack, but hey, I was 10. The school system there was very progressive and I loved it, but my Mom hated the desert so we only stayed one year. I am not sure exactly when or why the educational system in the U.S. lost its way, but I know I am grateful for the excellence of my own public school experience. I consider myself a life long learner and my early education gave me the tools to pursue almost any area of interest and come away with a good base of knowledge. To say this has enhanced my life immeasurably is an understatement. But to get back to the whole point of this thread.....learning and understanding are foundational tasks in human brains, without this we cannot properly or accurately assess or comprehend anything, including current political or world events. GOOD EDUCATION IS ESSENTIAL TO AN INFORMED CITIZENRY. Our founders knew this long ago and we need to get back to excellence in public schools.
since 2012 all national polls have been nuttier than a squirrel turd. remember that "red wave in '22" that was supposed to give the GOP a +40 member margin over the Dem's? I do...
Polls say that Trump will win the 18-35 age group by four points. That 11% of voters are undecided between Biden and Trump. Biden and Trump, really? That the border is the number two voting issue and that women's reproductive rights or democracy are not in the top ten. Does this pass the smell test to you? Sometimes when things don't appear to make sense, that is because they don't. A poll involves somebody talking politics for a full half hour with a complete stranger on the phone. Do you really believe that more moderate people are going to take time out of their day to do that? The biggest voting block in this country is severely underrepresented in the polls. The silent majority. Until they are, polls aren't worth the paper they are written on.
It's just been hilarious to watch the right sheep bleat "Mi Dee Ah! MEE D UH always lying to you!!" and be so pumped about the polls the media was giving them showing Trump's dominance. And then get freaked out Again as Biden gets his bumps lol. What an insane clown posse.
They're not astrology, they actually deal with reality at least lol. The coverage of polls is made up, they're just vehicles to make money. The pollster makes money, the media sells their ads on it, and the viewers get something to talk about. It's just a collective activity to do something rather than admit they have no idea what's going to happen.... .... well, when I put it that way, it kind of is astrology 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who is Marilyn Lands? It is a pretty safe prediction that someone people don't know who is will lose by a lot more than 11 points. There is low name recognition and then there is no name recognition. Neither probably will not win, but the person with no name recognition will lose by a lot more.
This is why a vote for trump or biden is just 4 more years of the same shit. If you really care about this country and seeing a better future for you and me I think we will need to vote RFK and actually start having a serious conversation with each other about politics. Do you care about just voting a color or about real issues?
@@pipz420well I'll base it on the rules the color blue is a prettier color and red is the color of the devil. Trump also has 91 pending charges on his file, Biden had no charge on his file so you tell me what is the safer option of you set the colors aside here and look at there records not what's coming out of Trump's mouth because he's a scam artist a funny one but he's also very dangerous because he threatened to bail out a bunch of prisoners.
I knew a pollster who quit because he realized how inaccurate polls were, he figured he was just wasting his life. The only poll that matters is the official vote.
Especially now in the modern era. The people who are polled are those that still have land lines. Most people I know under the age of 40 (Including several financially well off individuals and their families) don't even have land lines. The people who have land lines tend to be the elderly, and they historically have tended to vote one way over the other.
People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote - a very different thing. - Walter H. Judd
Meanwhile I’m going to have heartburn every time Trump manages to dodge or delay another court ruling. Many of my neighbors don’t want to vote at all. We all need to educate that not voting is almost the same as a vote for Trump.
start to educate them now! in November, organise a group event to go out and vote so that you can keep each other company while saving your country! turn it into a fun event
The only poll I care about is the voting booth. I will be voting blue, all the way down the ticket. And nobody will intimidate me or violate my rights.
We already are you idiot. Political prosecution everywhere towards Trump and anyone on the right. You made a living martyr out of Trump after all the attempts of corrupt lawyers and judges to lock Trump up DURING AND ELECTION YEAR. Your side are absolute hypocrites and this civil war your side is creating? Guess what? You lost the first one and you’re going to lose again. Let’s go Brandon!

Since when are 'the sane people' a group separate from women and LGBTQ and why would you divide women in two categories young and old? This sounds like misogyny in disguise
Polling in the US seems very last century, I've never heard of them doing it other ways than through landlines? No wonder things younger people care about isn't getting through to the politicians.
Please please friends we need to get out and vote! Time goes by so fast just think of going out there tell your relatives your neighbors your friends those you work with we need to vote. Let’s make sure we vote blue 💙💙💙💙
This undemocratic Electoral College should be abandoned, particularly when Electoral Districts are jerrymandered with ease, and appeal processes are so obviously mishandled by the USSC.
You are right we have communication , and travel abilities , never dreamt of , when the Constitution was written, and there had to be accommodations made for the lack of travel and communication difficulties , that took TIME .
I don’t think the electoral college should be totally abandoned, but it definitely needs a massive overhaul. I fear that if it were to go away, a lot of fly over states would not want to be part of the United States anymore. We’ve already been down that path. And the gerrymandering needs to be fixed asap.
Why can't the USA have a first past the post system.? A simple majority. Why this weird and unfair electoral college which pretty much says some states are more important than others?
I agree but Gerrymandering doesn't have much to do with the Electoral College, they're separate issues. Most states determine who their votes go to by winning a plurality of votes for the whole state. Though the number of votes for each state is determined by the number of congressional districts + 2 for senators, the gerrymandered districts don't change the electoral college vote.
That is the issue. There is no good reason to vote red or blue both candidates suck and there are not enough registered Democrats to carry the General elections
@@tsunami770 until there is a strong third party it's always the lesser of two evils. But this election the difference between THESE two is vast. It's a moral imperative to defeat Trump and MAGA.
@@laura-gp3gv It appears 60% to 71% of all Americans disagree with you and I would put to you that the lesser of two evils argument is merely justifying evil anyway. A strong moral imperative would not bend the knee when faced with a form of blackmail and as someone said recently, none of that is worth the lives of innocent children when the lesser of two evils supports a genocidal war.
I’m sorry, didn’t Biden have an opportunity to protect Roe V Wade and codify it into law before it was overturned? What has Biden done to protect the innocent Palestinian people? Why does he deserve my vote?
@@joshuadinan5512 Because he’s an adult who has read and has respect for the constitution, he actually believes in the peaceful transfer of power and he’s not utterly self-serving like trump. It’s simple really. In another 4 years Biden will be peacefully transferring power to next guy, he’s not going to whine about it and travel across the country stoking civil war and selling bibles to pay for his 91 indictments
@ttr1360 I will never find a candidate I agree with on every issue. Bodily autonomy and democracy/voting rights are the top priorities for me. Without those, I can't change anything, including foreign policy I disagree with. Anyone who thinks the former guy would be better on Gaza or Ukraine hasn't done their research.
Strategy to the non political: 1. They've gone after abortion; 2. They're even going after contraception; (HELLO??) 3. You'll have no time to party if you're having to raise/pay for surprise kid or two; 4. So, GET YOUR ASS OUT AND VOTE DEMOCRATIC! Do the same with preexisting conditions, credits for child care, big money competing for housing, greed among 5 remaining corporate food producers, etc.
Paycheck can be added to your list--Trump has said over and over that Americans earn too much and that's why we can't be competitive--with Bangladesh and Ethiopia---manufacturing with unskilled labor... Idiot. And then there is this push to create a fundamentalist Catholic THEOCRACY. SMH. Forced church attendance, get rid of public schools, just have church educate kids...no science, no evolution, no sex education, now maybe no microbiology or public health services.
@@anthonypeasley7604 Elizabeth Warren and others are pushing legislation against big money in housing, competing for housing stock with the person looking to owner-occupy. Dems have ramped up antitrust actions against monopolies, duopolies, in food and other industries, including Amazon.
this makes me so mad that average people don’t pay attention to politics…if 70% of americans actually cared enough the dems would absolutely demolish republicans with messaging and policy…
And this country would be one million percent more equitable, fair, just, and enlightened for everyone in every way. On every list of the advancements America has made as a country for our people, it has always been the conservative party who stood in the way. It's no less true today than it's ever been.
They are lying to you. People are paying attention and they are leaving blue so freaking fast it should have your head spinning. Go look at what is happening. CA is about to go into bankruptcy and I used to live there. Everyone with half a brain I know left there!
If you never vote again in your lifetime is fine, as long as you register and vote in this coming presidential election. ***never before has this been as important an election than now, in my 62 years*** your life matters and we need everyone's vote to preserve what we are and what we represent for ourselves and our future generations. BLUE all the way, baby !!!!
It’s going to be orange fall come November! We the people…have had enough! Let’s go Brandon. You debate people you disagree with, NOT prosecute them you moron. Let the people decide, NOT a court room! You’ve turned this country into a 3rd world country by prosecuting unfairly the leader of the opposition party. That’s what they do in Venezuela, Sadam Hussein’s Iraq, Nicaragua, etc…
Im sending this to all my family and freinds who are as worried as i have been! This is the best, most i formative and rational analysis i have seen!! By far!!! Thank you!
Same here. Third parties always want to get on the presidential ballot when they have no chance in hell of winning, and a very good chance of siphoning off votes. Not to mention, do they not understand that they will not have any type of congressional help, since Democrats and Republicans will have all the seats? If third parties, like No Labels, really wanted to make an impact, sponsor some candidates for lower-tier races in state elections, where a lot of Republicans run unopposed. Build out that way to show that they can be legitimate party.
But I'm not convinced that it is a matter of most people yet to tune in. There is a deep problem, if not sickness, in our society because half of it cannot see Trump for who he is. That would be OK for a new-to-democracy society but not the one who "disposed" of kings in 1776.
I will vote for Biden in November '24 (provided, at 68, I am HERE in November '24)! HOWEVER, while I have voted for Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden before, my PREFERANCE was/is/WILL BE Bernie Sanders! As THINKING FOLKS, we are STUCK with Biden/Harris!
I am all about voting for light over darkness no matter who the candidate is. I dont care if it is Biden or Bernie or anyone else. I think people will see that he was in it for himself the entire time. Taken a while but they are getting there.
I understand the Bernie buzz. However Bernie voted against a number of good bills that have become policy, all because he didn't believe they went far enough at the time. His words, not mine. I'm a 73-yr. old staunch progressive also, but I understand that things don't always progress immediately with the masses like Bernie and others may want. We often must move incrementally, step by step, instead of throwing everything out if it doesn't go Bernie's way. Look how much Biden has moved to the left compared to even Obama. He knows how to read the country.
That makes me feel a little better. I'm one of those who watches the news every day. I go to bed thinking about it and wake up thinking about it. Vote Blue Vote Biden 🗳
Me too. My dad immigrated here as Hitler was voted in under a democracy. He’s passed away but he saw Trump get elected first time and he said it’s exactly how Hitler sounded and carried through. He was worried for us, I hate that he died seeing another Hitler
Well I see Trump winning this time as you can't trust the polls anyway but he will get all the same voters who voted for him in 2016 and 2020 and RFK is going to hurt Biden in the swing states big time and if Trump picks Tim Scott or Tulsi as his VP its all over.
@@ingridlahaye8107 that's the point. "Blue" now, isn't even close to Blue. Rfk is closer to true Blue than these new extremists. Rfk for president!!!!!

Of course the ones working for biden are going to say things, but that statement you said is misleading. Stop quoting mainstream media and do a little research. You'll find that both the left and right are attacking Kennedy equally as hard. Biden refused rfk secret service, and tried to silence rfks social media. Trump is calling rfk the most radical leftist candidate. Lol. And as pathetic as those things are, the people that believe them are more pathetic.
Something I just read about voting in Ohio. Biden can POSSIBLEY be left OFF their ballot because of their deadline for candidates to be listed or certified and when the Democrats have their convention. Biden won't be their OFFICIAL candidate unit after Ohio's final date. They have two choices, per Ohio Secretary of State, move the convention date or approach the Ohio legislature to change the date OR allow the Democrats to be late. So, when talking about voting and who is going to vote and polls, THIS IS meaningful.
I think he truly wants to be the dictator. Campaigning to be President isn't going keep him out of jail, if he is sentenced jail time. But, it will be difficult to run for President while IN jail. I'm sure he'll find a way... 😂😂 Or the Republicans will find a new candidate.
Thank you David and Rachel. It never occurred to me that so few people know the actual facts of Trump's criminal history, and, instead, believe nonsense about President Biden. I will do more to work with our political candidates in North Carolina, hopefully counteracting the extreme gerrymandering under which we have been placed. We will take Rachel' advice.....and also read her book.
@@jaythenihilist4689She was invited to tell her story but refused to do so. Maybe that had something to do with the fact that she couldn't get counsel because she was not credible.

She is totally correct. Those of us who have battling TFG since 2016 are just burnt out. We just resist as much as we can, wait, recover, and vote! 💙🌊 I totally get the 3rd party upset, but the only people that I know in Pennsylvania that are voting for RJKjr are Repubs.
