if Ron brownstein isn't the best analyst of American politics he is certainly in the top one.

Is the Squad still the future of the Democratic party?

I’m as blue as they come but my god is that guy Simon an out of touch prick

I expect trump to declare victory before the polls close but he may wait a few hours,, of course it is entirely possible that he will actually win actually.

NEARLY zero.

Insightful👍

If Kamala doesn't show strength with this issue she'll lose. She's losing with all the lies trump is spouting plus Netanyahu being a warmonger. She's gonna have to publically admonish Israel for their warmongering. It's that simple. Enough war crimes already. Independents for Harris!

The greatest danger to our democracy, really our Constitutional Republic is the democratic party.

She’s speaking now

Im very optimistic about the Harris campaign. I already put my ballot in. I voted blue all the way.

Jd and Trump represent bully, aggressive, demeaning, dominating controlling, imposing , disconnected from their heart masculinity. Their idea of leadership is rule over us for their benefit by making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group, sew division. Tim’s type of leadership serves and protects the needs of the people, kids and seniors. The least among us.Tim seems connected to his heart with a blend of firm and kind. What woman doesn’t want a man who can govern 6 million people with high approval rating while serving, not bullying or imposing and get a second job to help feed kids. Come on. I feel much safer with Tim. He’s the total man. I’m so glad this topic is getting attention. Young, white, uneducated men make up trumps majority who confuse bully with masculine. It’s a totally turn off at least to women. Ugh. It seems so much of stereo types are being exposed and we can have a change of heart and definition of these stereotypes. Very crucial topic.

I wish more people would speak more often about GREEDflation and SHRINKflation. The big businesses are making massive profits yet refuse to reduce prices or continue to reduce the amount of product and then refuse to reduce the price. Now they are using algorithms that tell them just how much they can charge the customer on a particular product before they will stop buying their product. All of this is BS. VP Harris is talking about doing something to the price gougers that is going on, finally.

Harris picked the best VP the Dems had to offer.

Polls? There's only ONE that matters. SO many people don't answer their phones when they don't recognize the caller's phone number.

When interviewers pose questions like, " do you think this could cause violent towards whoever....." after the 10th, 15th, 23rd etc.. incidence OF IT CAUSING VIOLENCE, I often wonder, are the INTERVIEWERS STUPID, NAIVE or so LACKING for original questions that they have to ask something that's been answered OVER a DOZEN times. In regards to Trump's cognitive DECLINE, whether it's caused by age or is kind of IRRELEVANT, what is NOT IRRELEVANT is that it's OBJECTIVELY PUBLICLY OBSERVABLE. As Susan and/ or jer husband said, all one has to do is go watch one of Trump's 2016 debates with Hillary Clinton then immediately watch TRUMP'S debate with Biden in June or the September 2024 debate. ANY OBJECTIVE observer would see the decline in ability to make coherent statements and LESS of an ability to say what needs saying to NOT turn off the very voters he NEEDS to WIN. Finally, the REPEATED ATTEMPTS to sell me the notion that American Journalists are so incompetent that AFTER NEARLY a DECADE they're struggling to know how to cover Donald Trump and his DISQUALIFYING, neighborhood of make believe, just say stuff, racist, sexist, xenophobic, UN-AMERICAN, promises to TERMINATE THE 🇺🇸📜 and violation of the OATH OF OFFICE, is insulting to my intelligence. As if I'm to believe educated and informed people AREN'T able to cover what he has been, is and promises to be and THE THREAT it poses to the 🇺🇸 AFTER NEARLY A DECADE. SORRY, I have a little bit more respect for American journalists abilities than that. Which leads me to believe that it's NOT a, " we don't know how, " its far closer to, " we choose NOT to, " for any number of reasons that are flatly journalistic malpractice. Whether it's for money/ clicks/ readers or allowing known bad faith actors on the RIGHT CUCK them into this NEUTRAL EQUALS TRUTHFUL and/ or BOTHSIDESISM where they do the equivalent of pretending the effect of a 🐁 and a 🐘 running thru your living room are the same because they are BOTH animals. It's a sad state of affairs.

Excellent discussion! Sarah and Simon are two of my faves... such informed and reasonable viewpoints. Thumbs way up.

I do hope Trump stays far away from the White House. Vote Harris 💙🩵🌊

I agree with Michael Singh. The point at which the US could be seen as a neutral negotiator in the Middle East is long past. It worked in the era of Jimmy Carter with credibility. And was partially successful in the Clinton era too, although that agreement famously fell apart completely. Since then there’s been Gulf War I & II, & Afghanistan so the Arabs don’t believe it, Israelis believe it to the extent it advantages them & most Americans the same. The best thing for America to do is plant its feet where its heart is, behind Israel. That policy position not only reflects our values but also American strategic interests. And all these policy positions could be much more convincingly sold to the US public if Netanyahu were removed from office.

I adore Sarah but I think she is wrong on the Teamsters. The issue there is that Teamsters are overwhelmingly working aged men and overwhelmingly white. Men are polling in one direction and women are polling in the other. It also explains why abortion is the number 3 issue.

Wish Simon would listen to what Sarah is trying to tell him. Stats don't matter when your life experiences don't match the stats. My kids can't afford a house, not because rates are 6.5, but because house prices doubled in 5 years because of supply

New subscriber. Your program deserves a lot more than 400+ upvotes. It was an excellent discussion with two great commentators. Things got a little heated for a bit in the middle there, but we all parted friends. That's how it works when adults are in the room, and it was a pleasure to listen.

Bedtime rule of thumb. Listen to Sarah, but listen to Simon last. Sleep better. Worry less.

I don't think the Teamsters story is over just yet. I know the black caucus within Teamsters endorsed Harris early on, and today there's this: " Teamsters in Minnesota, other Midwest states rebuke national union in endorsing Harris-Walz"

I despair of a majority of Americans ever understanding how economics works. Media is just not up to that job. Economists themselves can't figure it out. But It would be helpful to have a pool of non-partisan economists that the public could trust for good info.

It is really easy to win a debate when you cheat

Good for you! I’m so happy for you

My two favorite podcasters as guests on the same show! Just made my day!

I have nightmares that the country will be lost because of the misogynistic voters who, for whatever reason, won't cast a ballot for a woman.

Trump inherited Obama's economy pre pandemic, which is why they say they like it, it was ruined by trump with Lock downs 😮

I listened to clips of Joe Rogan talking “positively” about Kamala Harris’ debate performance. Sure, he acknowledged it went better for the VP and that Trump underperformed, but the way he talked about it was explicitly saying her performance had to be due to some other “puppet master’s” or “string puller’s” control and planning, not to her actual strategic intelligence and sharpness.

Fuel prices are WAY down from peaks in 2022! I remember paying 7.29 at a station near Santa Barbara 25 months ago. Now it is far lower. In my home state of Washington, the prices have been lower than they had been in the last 4 years I should think. Presidents don't actually have much control over this aspect of the economy; and frankly, as a guy that works in renewable energy now (solar), I think more options for pure Electric and "actual" hybrids" should be available in order to ensure more energy independence. If the GOP is hitting on fuel prices, they missed the boat on that as 2022 was an utter disaster as concerns high fuel prices. Inflation is certainly not over, but it is easing.

I used to follow Sarah and Tim for quite some time, but their bias really started to annoy me. Eggs are much higher because of the Bird Flu and corporate greed. Farmers had to put down over 4M chickens.

The crust is solid but the Mantle is HOT yo!!!!🔥🔥🔥

Nobody: Me: Simon and Sarah for over an hour!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hey, moderator. Sarah. Could you please explain why Harris has to be more “specific” on the economy but Trump doesn’t?

Hey, why did you take out my comment?

Poor Sarah. She apparently didn’t grasp the point that what matters is that the Teamster *local* chapters in swing states have backed Harris. Then again, I really don’t trust the Bulwark people. Former operatives from failed Republican campaigns aren’t exactly the people I’d look to for a clear view of Democratic politics.

Middle-class America has been taken on a joyride by corporate America for the last 30+ years. NAFTA, Glass-Steagall repealed, tax cuts and endless Mergers & Acquisitions for corporations and super rich. Political access via limitless political campaign financing. We are where we are today is not an accident. The country has become a paradise for monopolies and private equities in all major sectors. Will the glorious feeding frenzy of working-class folks continue?

The last time the Teamsters Union withheld any endorsement was in 1996 Clinton vs. Dole. In 1988, the union endorsed Republican George HW Bush vs. Democrat Michael Dukakis.

Austerity during Covid would have been a disaster…..so we’ve worked thru inflation much stronger

Our local teamster unions went for Harris.. polled twelve hundred people they leaned towards trump. We have a lot of republican idiots in the teamsters .. I started in the eighties, and they all listened to rush limbaugh .. I started in the 80s. They all listened to rush limbaugh ..

Teamsters leadership did not want to endorse, but cleared the way for different locals to endorse. They would have endorsed Biden but not a black woman

Trump coasted for two years on Obama's economy.

Great perspectives from both guests, crisp moderation. Thanks so much!

No more ignorant RW nonsense and ignorance on the economy

Sarah Longwell listens to the average American (often a swing voter) so she's more clued into what they're thinking. Simon Rosenberg comes across as someone who's cheering the Biden accomplishments, great, but not understanding that a lot of those accomplishments don't reach the average person. The president can't wave a wand and lower gas prices, food prices, rent, mortgage, interest rates. A raise in wages is not the same percentage as the rise in EVERYTHING that the average American has to pay for. Inflation has come down but "oddly" prices have not. Yet the average American doesn't seem to realize that the people who set the prices in food, gas etc for those corporations prefer Republican policies and will do what they can to push their agenda. The Republicans have always looked at the long game and this crop is now also willing to lie cheat and steal. It's just our luck that a lot of them are either dumb or can't hide their creepiness.
