Overtime: Michael Eric Dyson, Rick Wilson, Rep. Mikie Sherrill, Mitch Landrieu | Real Time (HBO) 

I think Booker showed some great character in some of the remarks he made during the impeachment process.

A centrist Democrat can get campaign money from companies and wealthy donors. However, (in my opinion), if you are going to be more left/progressive, you either need to be self-funding or set up a grass roots fund-raising campaign. That's right in Yang's wheelhouse. Bernie set one up. So did Warren. However Booker and Harris DID NOT. That might have been O.K. decades ago, when campaigns were shorter. But now you need to steadily burn money for 2+ years in a Presidential campaign. Booker and Harris dropping out wasn't about race, it was about fielding a team that could set-up effective online funding.

I completely agree with you.

Sounded like part of what he was saying was that Booker and Harris couldn't gain the robust minority support Obama did because Obama disappointed us to some degree and seeing that the minority candidates in place weren't much different from Obama, it was hard for them to get excited. Studies do show that if there is enough of an overlap in policy blacks DO support black candidates to a higher degree. Maybe blacks saw, with Obama, much of that overlap can be superficial.

I agree. The analysis is just wrong. I would vote for H.Jeffries in the next election.

He's a charlatan, a joke. Kamala and Corey really?

He’s a racist piece of shit.

That kind of stuff is why we lost the election.

No one on the planet better at using big words to convey so little substance then Michael Eric Dyson

agreed

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏100% true!

Truth bomb!!!!

With that logic I really hope someone out there loves cleaning toilets.

He's such a blowhard.

I think he would have. Obama is a very effective campaigner. HOWEVER...remember the growing resentment against Obama towards 2014 and 2015? People weren't payign attention. People didn't see what Congress was doing.

Yes. End term limits and the electoral college. End free speech, gun rights, and the right to own property as well---true Heaven.

Chitlins Justice shocker

Everyone should ask that question. Positive vibes from New Hampshire and remember to be kind to each other

No the question is, do you want another corrupt politician? There's only one choice if you dont need another corrupt politician, and thats Bernie Sanders. Who tf cares about trump, see the whole picture instead.

Sudhir Kakar and even more of us don’t

Wow! Look at all the Russian trolls!😳

Yes!

Sometimes I wish he would stfu

That was also such a shameless demonstration of out-of-context framing it would make even the GOP salute his proficiency.

Obama is neo-liberal whose policies mostly benefited the wealthy in the country. Black wealth was halved under his administration. Baltimore and Ferguson burned under his administration and when activist groups called for significant criminal-justice reform, Obama was feckless and sluggish in getting some policies implemented. So I hope you forgive us non-centrist for not fawning with adulation for Obama. If you paid any real attention to Obama's policy, you'd realize Dyson did not nearly go far enough with his criticism. p.s. Let's not forget that disgusting performance in Flint, where Obama pretended that the water in that city was safe to drink. You should go look that up. And then you people are stunned when a Trump victory happens. That would be the Dems greatest flaw... having your head up your ass.

@Bob Peterson And yesterday's vote in the senate was a giant step closer to that place.

@Lovely Lori Naw, these Never Trumpers want to create Dems in their own image. It's amazing to watch liberals fall for their shtick. These people are responsible for Trump. They all come from the Lee Atwater school of demagoguery and corruption that started under Reagan. Dems joined their world in the 90s.

Bailar Lasagna America IS centrist. It’s just being ripped in half by the extremes on both sides. Divide & conquer

dafttool centrism hasn’t gotten us anywhere. Maybe most of America is centrist as you say, but that’s not because they are being misinformed about the policies that will help them

Alan Your word salad needs help.

dafttool maybe you’re too dumb

Alan Perhaps getting into arguments with people who don’t bother to proofread their own comments is making me stoopid 🤪

We do need Donald to undo all of the corrupt policies that's been put in place for the last 3 decades .

@@JH-mp7tw Yeah, get an this even more corrupt guy to undo corruption.

Beating Donald Trump is eeeeeay. Too bad the media loves concentrating on the sensational and tabloid issues and not letting the topics affecting the American people breath on air.

@Moby D he honestly seems way way more racist then Trump

Moby D they don’t like him because they too can’t take constructive criticism in real life. I understand the concept of “it’s never good enough”... fuck I hated cleaning my room over and over again because my mom always said it wasn’t good enough... but hey at the end of the day she was right and my room would be super clean! People now see the “not good enough” as complaining rather than motivation and it’s sad...

@Moby D because he flip flops too much. Hell defend obama on one show, then dog him on another. I agree obamas policies were not helpful to black people specifically but once i found out i stayed consistent in my criticisim. Mr Eric in the other hand kinda feels the temp of the black community first. Wen most black people were sleep on obamas iffy moves nd loved obama anyway eric was smart enough to know that obama endorsed/wrote policies that were wrong and or not beneficial to black people specifically but supported nd defended him in the media. Then obama leaves nd more nd more black people wake up to the fact that obama was on some b.s then here comes eric criticing obamas policies like he didnt know this before. He follows politics he has smart friends he knew better back then he just didnt say anything because hes an author nd doesnt want to lose the black or woke market. Whatever his reasoning i have to question his heart as a man and integrity as an intellectual. I respect black leaders like Dr claude anderson and others who tells it like it is nd arent afraid of the backlash.#thetruthisthetruth #ttitt

@@pixelbath2131I agree, not a fan of Peterson but he was being a dick in that debate

That was such a pathetic debate. The fact a grown man stood on stage in a public forum and said "you're a mean man!".... I mean fuck, it's like watching a 5 year old.

@@PlzPr3sspl4y what the fuck are you talking about? Just cuz I didn't quote the whole thing doesn't mean the whole thing wasn't an abysmal shit show. Or are you trying to act like you really enjoyed watching it and you're offended that I considered it total crap? Either way, shut the fuck up. Dyson is an ideological jackass who loves to inject race into every conversation he can get. And that quote wasn't out of context. If you actually watch that shit, Peterson never said anything "mean" or in more adult language "mean spirited". Dyson and his debate partner were on the attack from the first second and if I had any investment in their arguments I'd be embarrassed for them. Now fuck off douche cakes.

So is Trump, and if you remember the GOP said they were going to block any bills sponsored by Obama. Maybe you need to look at GOP house and senator members

@@profshad3429 yes they both suck, grow up and admit Obama was also a sell out.

prof shad - Bailing out the banks was BOLD. F*** the home owners.

@@profshad3429 Obama had a movement behind him that got him to the presidency. When he got into office, he disbanded the very movement that elected him, appointed a bunch of WallSt/financial industry insiders to key rolls in his administration and adopted what he himself said on television were center right wing policies just 15 years earlier. Even the GOP had the self awareness to do a party autopsy after they got blown out. Get your fucking head out of your ass. Obama failed and he did it from a position of immediate capitulation. He went to the dealership and offered sticker price in hopes of getting something he could pass off on the public as a deal. He bailed out the banks and let them keep the homes. He ran on getting out of the wars then expanded them. He fucking failed and you too obtuse to see what's right under your nose. That's on you, blind man.

@@stevenbrock528 You mean like Trump and his GOP blaming everything on the Democrats and Obama for the mess this country is in?

Murray Knox That was the day I quit defending him.

My favorite Obama moment was when he tried to warn trump about mike Flynn. And the fool still didnt listen 😂😂😂😂

Randy H mines was when he said he would put on comfortable white walking shoes and march with the teachers strike and never showed up or even bring them up again. That’s when I was done with him.

Always white people with some stupid shit to say

@@micbusse4564 , no for real though, he did literally try to play identity politics thee entire time on the show. Who is he trying to impress lol? Liberals? They are already on his side. All I know is identity politics is one of thee main factors as to why people voted for a shitty ass person like Donald Trump. He took the identity politics back for white people, because the other side have been playing that card so much that the Trump supporter people were sick of caring or feeling guilty. Ya gotta remember, the less forced it is, the more minds you open. Not trying to wedge race into literally every fucking talking point is how you win people over. Imagine if The Rock tried race baiting in every interview. No one would like, but he doesn't, he doesn't even really talk about politics, and everyone loves The Rock.

Thats like the first time I didn't change the channel with him babbling. Maybe he is finally calming down in his old age, the last 2 times I saw him he wasn't as bad either. But still his legend will be as a Great Divider.

Screw identity politics. That's why most of us are behind the old white jew "socialist." What are your policies and what do you stand for? Your race gender age has very little to do with that question

America is a racist country. You have to talk about race in order to understand America.

He does both all the time. Unfortunately, because of the way the two usually intersect due to institutionalized racism of the political structure - it happens.

@zztop3000 She's polling in the single digits. Get real...

zztop3000 um...you’re a dick.

@zztop3000 What does Tulsi stand for?

I think there are more than just those two alternatives.

Bernie is wholly unpalatable to like 40% of the country. I like him a lot and voted for Bernie in 2016, but I don’t think he is the only alternative to Trump. In fact, I’m not confident he can even beat Trump (I hope so though!) Andrew Yang appears to have the highest overall favorability, when screened across Republicans, Democrats and Independents. When polling Republicans specifically, he consistently gets the highest number (typically 10-15% say they would vote for him over Trump) Yang would have more trouble winning the primary than the general, it seems. He has a lot of very similar values and goals to Sanders (which is why Yang is often Sander’s supporters second choice, and vice-versa for Yang supporters). My Dream is Sanders and Yang on a single ticket. Won’t ever happen though

He's smart and he hates Trump. If he's a thorn in Trump's side, he can be as smug and self important as he wants.

He is important. A breath of fresh air in a crazy world.

Mr U🏗

@Martin Jensen Aww, poor little crybaby. What a *loser* you are.

Yeah we've gone through 7 prime ministers in 10 years in Australia... it's not a very powerful position and that's a good thing. They also get yelled and jeered at by everyone in parliament.

He does get stuck on one track for a long time, doesn't he?

Ahhh , ebonics anyone ?

Hey There Santorum won Iowa. Keep a win there in perspective.

dafttool the democratic primary is not the Republican primary, no democrat has won Iowa and NH and lost the primary seems like Bernie is gonna win both

Morenito Moreno And you missed my point entirely. Iowa (& NH) are NOT representative of the entire country. They are small states & overwhelmingly white.

dafttool so you're saying even though every candidate who won those "small and overwhelmingly white" States went on to win the primary it's irrelevant because they are "small and overwhelmingly white"? You're not really good at logic are you? Furthermore bernie has the most support from minorities(Biden has the most support from black voters but when you take into account every other minority group bernie is ahead with non white voters) clearly you don't want bernie to win but if you were objective you would acknowledge the momentum, if he wins Iowa and NH he probably gonna win Nevada too and close the gap between him and Biden in SC because of the snowball effect

Did Snider? Thats the real question

Don't forget that SOB never paid the people of Flint the money they're owed

Dyson is full of shit. Obama refused to play the racism card when he didn’t agree with it. That’s all. He’s right though. No one agrees with him.

LAWRENCE MAXWELL Fred Hampton ♥️

the didnt play of the race card for once. I still cant believe it

#masterdum400 Made everything about race Abolished all its criminal insanity #stillatlarge #abolishitnow

How else do you position a dyed-in-the-wool Capitalist to be ready when you block Bernie at the convention and need a rich white savior? There is evil afoot here.

Getting money out of politics makes a great bumper sticker, but is irrational in reality. Politicians ALWAYS find ways around the system to enrich themselves and gain more power. It's not money that's corrupting the system, it's society that accepts corruption as "that's just how the game is played"...DC is simply a reflection of society in general. You get what you allow.

@@stevenbrock528 We also have caps on donations...it's a myth that politicians are raking in millions in corporate donations into their campaign coffers.

After how much Krystal Ball pushed back on Bill's reflexive regurgitation of MSNBC/CNN conventional wisdom, it'll take a while before he'll have a progressive on his show again. As for West, I think it was one of his last appearances on the show where he and Bill got into a heated argument about Hillary. Moore's last appearance was pretty adversarial as well, because Moore just couldn't get on board with Bill's super-original and novel idea that the Democrats have to pivot to the center-right in all things. You can see from those confrontations just how far up the establishment's ass Bill's head is nowadays. Even though Bill flatters himself as some kind of heterodox truth-teller -- bitch, please.

Huugo Sörsselssön do you believe we should shift center right on ANY topic? Just curious

Fall for what trap? BTW, Cornel West is a crackpot.

Huugo Sörsselssön well, it might take time but I think Bill might reconsider it. This last show he subtly acknowledge Bernie. If he wins in Iowa and NH, I'm sure he will shift his views. My belief is that he will jump on the bandwagon once Bernie is the nomination. The guy can't stand Trump like most of us.

@@kanyequest4225 No, I cannot think of a single issue where progressives should shift to center-right. I do think that things like cancel culture and self-righteous policing and posturing on social media need to stop, and that economics should come first and identity second -- but many leftists agree with me on this, so it's not a center-right position at all. If Bernie were to become the nominee, in the main election he should hammer home an aggressive social-democratic populist and anti-war message, conveyed in simple rhetoric. He should say stuff like "we're coming for the establishment in both parties, we're going to crush them with people power, and Trump is on the side of the elite, not of working people"

You've put his age in the slogan

@@davidt3956 oh the Bernie is old joke haven't heard that one.

@@davidt3956 Nah that's only how long he has been fighting for health care and education as a human right and against pointless wars.

@@lookingforsomething Sure, against wars. That's why he never saw an F-35 spending bill he didn't like. He also sided with the NRA to grant the gun industry a unique exception from liability laws, he and Mango Mussolini were the only two candidates to not release their taxes, his campaign never told people who much all all the small donations he spent to get a photo op with the pope, and, of course, the guy who has been in Congress for decades claims to be an outsider. He's a liar. He's the left's Mango Mussolini.

@@movieman175 Yup, and you'll keep hearing it. He and Biden aren't only old, they're white, they're male, and they have no clue how to talk to today's people -- except that Bernie, like Mango Mussolini, promises nonsense to young, white, men who are his base.

It also appears in Didache 10:14[3], which is part of the Apostolic Fathers' collection. It is transliterated into Greek letters rather than translated and, given the nature of early manuscripts, the lexical difficulty rests in determining just which two Aramaic words constitute the single Greek expression, found at the end of Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians (16:22)."

This is a great example of why these two parties are so similar. Once you see that Obama, like Clinton, is more republican than anything else, you'll understand that we live under a two party dictatorship.

The little he did,he was called a king with executive order power. He was dammed if he did and dammed if didn't.

You’re a fucking moron. The democrats aren’t a homogeneous party; there are conservatives from red states and districts that opposed a lot of bills that passed in the Democratic house back then like the comprehensive immigration bill. Even Obamacare passed by exactly 60 votes, with no help from republicans. Obama did what he could as a president in a broken system; he was not elected king.
