And I believe that he could capture the people, especially the young people who are on the fence about voting for Trump.
@@yoelsyhutchinson4377 well I guess he is because he gave up too easily. If he was a serious politician, this would be his chance to rise.

So you hope she doesn’t do well? Do you not live here too? Even if Trump wins I would hope he did well because I live here and it affects me and my family. The problem is that he won’t and we know this because he’s already been president.
It’s OVER Cenk! Any possible credible challenger to Harris has now endorsed her. Shapiro, Whitmer, Pritzker, Newsom. You are not going to get an Open Convention other than almost all delegates voluntarily voting for the VP. In order for another candidate to be nominated they need 300 signatures from delegates. That’s not happening either.
@@LadyLatina7022 I don't know because since she's the VicePres. and thus part of the incumbent administration, she may not lose that key. Just a thought. 🙂
There is no split. No need to continue this drama. Harris is supremely qualified for the job, and she can prosecute the case against Trump. Nobody with half a brain is going to pass up the first female, first Asian, first African American to hold the VPs office. That’s disrespectful (and bad politics) on so many levels.
As a progressive I'm endorsing Kamala as well. Not because she is a progressive ( because she is not), but because the establishment is not going to choose a progressive, and the focus in this election has to be just beating Trump. And the longer the VP selection takes and the more infighting between candidqates, the more chaotic it will appear to voters, and less time the voters will have getting to know the candidate.
Cenk, AOC was pretty clear about progtessives' reasons to support Biden and now Kamala. They're convinved that an open convention is a donor playground and could only result in a nominee less progressive than Biden or Kamala.
YEAH, THE MOST INEPT PROSECUTOR OF ALL TIME, COMING UP AGAINST THE JUGGERNAUT THAT IS TRUMP..OH YEAH, LET ME GET MY POPCORN..IF YOU THOUGHT JOES DEBATE WAS BAD, HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS FOR KAMALA!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you know how horrible she was as district attorney. Her record for putting a lot of minorities in jail is going to come back and haunt her see I'm in California most of the country doesn't know how bad she is
LOL! You're right, definitely the opinion of a "no brainer". RFK is the only one that can 100% beat trump. The only candidate that BRINGS ANOTHER 10%!!! The ~42% backing biden have already proven they will vote for whoever the dems put on the ticket, including a cognitively declined old man. Combine these two voter blocks and RFK wins in a landslide. Dems won't do it because they're no-brainer idiots, but it's what they should do.
@@jonwasowski That was the first thing I thought when I heard. I didn't think Biden would drop out. I figured his ego would just be too much, and he would be too stubborn, but I was wrong.
And so if we didn’t push for an open convention the other side would (and already is) saying that it was all planned and it’s not democratic for us to not get a choice.. which that last part if true. The candidate was picked for us. There was no primary, no choice, just the people in power saying “okay, this person”. Whether or not it will actually happen doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.
I'm for whoever can beat Trump and possibly humiliate him in the debate. It would be even better if she can win because can you imagine the humiliation he'll suffer if he loses to a black woman. Oh my God he might be so distraught he would never show his face in public again. Okay that's probably too much to hope for but I can dream can't I.
I just heard that Kamala has been working the phones practically since Biden announced, trying to consolidate support. If true, that shows a strategic ruthlessness that I kind of respect. To beat Trump, I think we need someone who will go no holds barred.
I agree with this. She’s clearly immediately pivoted, and has energy and will. I don’t know much about her yet, but her behavior in this moment appears presidential so far.
@@AK-jt9gxJust wait until she speaks and it will all be over. Already the International news is showing her incoherent speeches and speaking about the criminals she bailed out of jail who quickly got locked up again for murder. This cannot be good when other countries feel this way. To be fair the international leaders don’t want either of the Presidential candidates. This is a dumpster fire.
I'm progressive as fuck and kamala is the right choice at this time. You cant by pass her. It just can't happen. Anyone with an inch of political savvy knows this.
I for one am SICK AF having candidates hand picked/coronated/anointed and told to fall in line. (I never do. I make up my own mind.) The corrupt establishment dnc, the Biden campaign and state Democratic leadership canceled the Democratic primaries in North carolina, louisiana, Tennessee in Florida! They disenfranchised me and millions of others in these states. Biden was only name on the ballot and you couldn't even WRITE IN. Harris is tainted with stink from Biden and is complicit in hiding Biden's massive decline.
Sadly as ive said before, i have not seen a big difference between progressive Democrats and regular Democrats because in the end nothing changes for the working American. We need an Independent candidate that is nothing like the Uniparties we have running the country now!! I wish the young turks were pushing for real change and an independent party.
Sanders made his career as an independent, and my bet in 2016 was that he had a good chance of winning if he gave the national majority a chance to vote for him in the general despite someone else being the Democratic nominee. That would however be unprecedented; in more than two centuries, no candidate outside the latest party duopoly has ever won the White House. My guess is that what Bernie himself expected was a repeat of 1912, when the vote split between Taft and Roosevelt allowed Wilson to win the office. It’s not too hard to assess Trump as potentially even worse than Wilson (who became the closest to a dictator we’ve had yet). Thing is, the “spoiler effect” - which favors the further right - is inherent in the “first past the post” voting system. To get more viable options, we need STAR or at least ranked-choice voting. To get that, we need to change the position of the incumbent legislators state by state. Fundamentally, that’s much more likely by achieving a majority in the Democratic Party than by putting the third-party cart before the horse.
The Biden 1+ Trillion Dollar infrastructure bill is squarely for the working Americans…who do you think is going to work on all the roads and bridges. You can’t export that work to other countries so it directly puts that incredible amount of money into the pockets of American workers.
They Bernied him and no one seems to be noticing that they will Bernie Harris, too! AOC has already said that leadership & Megadonors don’t want her, either! AOC and Bernie interviewed all viable candidates and asked if they would continue Biden’s platform of taxing the wealthy, continuing work on unions, lowering all prescription drugs and keeping Lina Kahn at the head of the FTC. and every single one said NO! Harris was the only one that said she would AND AIPAC is totally against her cause they feel she far left of Biden on Israel and got pissed when she asked for a ceasefire! You watch! These Motherfuckers will Bernie her regardless of how the voters feel.
@@DillyPutty The nominee will be Harris, the only question is who the VP will be. Wikipedia has a shortlist of 4 people and they would all be stellar picks.
Just taking a guess but i think progressives realize its practically impossible to get anything progressive pushed through and may think Kamala would do just fine. They may also like her personally.
Kamala Harris needs to hire a voice coach. It is hard to get past her winy voice. She is a weak speaker and that matters. She needs a strong message and a good delivery. Not sure that will happen.
Biden stuttered. Whiny voice? If a nations leader is chosen for their speech ability rather than if they will throw 14 million people into concentration camps, USA is screwed.
I agree. And Americans judge on superficial qualities so this *is* important. Her voice is very nasal and grates on me. She needs a coach to work on this and also the word salad tendency. She also has a cackle like Hillary. I pray the people running the DNC realize this and get to work fast. We cannot afford 4 more years of the orange maniac.
Kamala doesn't thrill me in any way, BUT the thing that makes me think that she MIGHT be what we need (vs Trump) is that she's prosecuted a lot of cases, & she's kind of ruthless. She might be able to seriously hit Trump hard on the real truth regarding his legal woes in a way that properly explains to some people (and possibly persuade them) to finally see through some of the "witchhunt" bs.
Joe Biden did not put Kamala in his original message (strategically), because he didn't want to mix historical messages together... The separate messages were well timed. Otherwise, it would send the wrong signal and may not age well... *like this video.*
You have to view the situation beyond a “ progressive” lens, there is much more at play. Harris is the logical choice, and the Democrats don’t want chaos. Anyone who wants to challenge her is free to do so. At the same time, anyone is free to endorse her as well.
I agree. It’s time for unity. Let’s say they were forcing us to vote for Hillary than I’d be ñissed off. But Kamala is someone who I think is actually great.
I was a Bernie fan in 2016 and 2020… was never b a big fan of Kamala… but at this point, I’m actually kinda pumped to have her over Biden 🤷🏼♂️ I don’t think I was gonna vote for Biden, but I can actually get behind her
@@hgservices5572 I’m very familiar with Kamala and her record as a prosecutor… At this point, I’m voting for somebody that’s at least competent that’s against Trump … Biden wasn’t competent…
If they stick with Kamala, I want a Harris / Whitmer ticket. If too 'feminist' for the average American, then Harris / Shapiro. Either way, we need Midwest and/or Rust Belt representation. Politically-speaking, Harris still reeks of California. Definitely NOT Newsome.
I know nobody want's to talk about it anymore but Witmer put people with Covid back into nursing homes and killed a lot of people, and then tried to cover it up.
Geez Cenk, you are just really trying to stir up dissension in the ranks no matter what, aren’t you?? I agree that there should be an open convention, but please get behind Kamala if she gets the nomination (which I expect she will). It is possible to just report things without coming off like an a-hole.
And yours is an orange gameshow host wannabe dictator whose cultists and himself literally had an insurrection after he LOST and thinks humans should consume bleach.
What exactly does "open convention" mean to you? Does it just mean that the delegates theoretically are unbound? Or does it mean that major Dems aren't allowed to support Kamala and she has to debate every John Random Dude who declares his candidacy?
Might want to stop watching then because this guy is an agitator for the right. Can tell by how he's responded to the news + you can't mention the name of the right's extreme platform which is a... project... and a certain... year... without your comment disappearing. Total rat behavior

Eight more years of Not 🚫 being able to afford my groceries .....
Harris & Sanders!!!
It doesn't matter who THEY pick this election is over. The party gave up
Where the hell is Andrew Yang? This should be his time to shine! He ran a strong campaign back in 2016 or whenever it was when he first ran talking about giving every American a stipend and fixing the economy. Well that’s exactly what this country is whining about the economy and wanting a leader. He is both of those things. And I believe that he could capture the people, especially the young people who are on the fence about voting for Trump.
Andrew Yang is a joke, lol
@@yoelsyhutchinson4377 well I guess he is because he gave up too easily. If he was a serious politician, this would be his chance to rise. He had new ideas and he was a fresh face, and I feel like people would really vote for him especially because the economy sucks right now and that’s what he was running on.
I hope she will handle the country as perfectly as she handled the border.
😂😂😂
So you hope she doesn’t do well? Do you not live here too? Even if Trump wins I would hope he did well because I live here and it affects me and my family. The problem is that he won’t and we know this because he’s already been president.
It’s OVER Cenk! Any possible credible challenger to Harris has now endorsed her. Shapiro, Whitmer, Pritzker, Newsom. You are not going to get an Open Convention other than almost all delegates voluntarily voting for the VP. In order for another candidate to be nominated they need 300 signatures from delegates. That’s not happening either.
Super delegates can vote for whomever they want.
Kamala Harris - ' What I Know You Don't Know But What You Know I Know '. The Conversation is getting Nowhere.
I’m a leftist and I agree with the progressives that we shouldn’t waste time. Let’s just go with Kamala and call it a day.
So, you're ok with Backstabbing Biden after all he did for Democraps, and going along with a coup? I see who you are.
Perhaps Bernie for VP. would be a great pick.
Let the people vote for the Democrat leader. It should be up to the people to decide.
AOC has endorsed Kamala Harris!
Democrat unity is *happening* 😁😁
oh boy that's wonderful another loser in the basket of turds great news
She also endorsed Biden.
Where’s that guy with the keys to win the presidency lol😂
One Key is gone.
@@LadyLatina7022 I don't know because since she's the VicePres. and thus part of the incumbent administration, she may not lose that key. Just a thought. 🙂
@@lilred00051 Ya.💙
Kamala Harris has my support.
There is no split. No need to continue this drama. Harris is supremely qualified for the job, and she can prosecute the case against Trump. Nobody with half a brain is going to pass up the first female, first Asian, first African American to hold the VPs office. That’s disrespectful (and bad politics) on so many levels.
Lmao as if any of that matters to the average non woke American
@tapetwo - non-woke sleepy head cult followers are not the target market.
She said she’s gonna earn and win the nomination. She has the right attitude. Let’s just see what happens. Now it’s exciting! It’s on!
She's already put in the work . She's the the freaking VP. It's not you to get Cenk.
VP Harris for President 2024
As a progressive I'm endorsing Kamala as well. Not because she is a progressive ( because she is not), but because the establishment is not going to choose a progressive, and the focus in this election has to be just beating Trump. And the longer the VP selection takes and the more infighting between candidqates, the more chaotic it will appear to voters, and less time the voters will have getting to know the candidate.
Pretty sure you missed every single point
@@kenr.b.891 have you ever heard her speak. She's the democratic version of George W Bush
Is Kamala really the best candidate for the Democratic Party? Yikes
OK Cenk, basque in your glory, you were always right, and that should be acknowledged. Now I’m 100% Kamala ❤
Biden is out, that was the main goal.
It's time to get to work, Harris will do just fine.
Let's go
@@maydaymayday4739 lol. Democrats didn't want her during the primary.
Cenk, AOC was pretty clear about progtessives' reasons to support Biden and now Kamala. They're convinved that an open convention is a donor playground and could only result in a nominee less progressive than Biden or Kamala.
Is it possible to get a democrat less progressive than either of those people?
She was 100% wrong about biden, if you can't understand that then STFU. AOC sold out JUST LIKE THEY ALL DO!!!!!
On the D side, how does it get less progressive than Biden or Kamela?
"I can imagine what will be, unburdened by what was"
Does that statement mean something to you ? it means nothing to me
It has to be Harris. Former (successful) prosecutor vs a criminal. No brainer
YEAH, THE MOST INEPT PROSECUTOR OF ALL TIME, COMING UP AGAINST THE JUGGERNAUT THAT IS TRUMP..OH YEAH, LET ME GET MY POPCORN..IF YOU THOUGHT JOES DEBATE WAS BAD, HOLD ON TO YOUR HATS FOR KAMALA!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you know how horrible she was as district attorney. Her record for putting a lot of minorities in jail is going to come back and haunt her see I'm in California most of the country doesn't know how bad she is
LOL! You're right, definitely the opinion of a "no brainer". RFK is the only one that can 100% beat trump. The only candidate that BRINGS ANOTHER 10%!!! The ~42% backing biden have already proven they will vote for whoever the dems put on the ticket, including a cognitively declined old man. Combine these two voter blocks and RFK wins in a landslide. Dems won't do it because they're no-brainer idiots, but it's what they should do.
@@JasonTMorton The criminal is the one who was forcibly removed from the nomination
She would arrest parents if the kids missed a day in school. She also kept an proven innocent man behind bars
I think Jasmine Crockett should run
🤔 I wonder if everyone who debated Cenk is going to say, "CENK YOU WERE RIGHT"
@@jonwasowski That was the first thing I thought when I heard. I didn't think Biden would drop out. I figured his ego would just be too much, and he would be too stubborn, but I was wrong.
A national Democratic Convention, whether in person or online, would attract millions of voters. It would inspire trust and respect.
Can't have that of course.
People voted for the Biden/Harris ticket. Makes total sense to have Kamala.
No they didnt.
Biden was the Person running in the primary
It shouldn't be automatic. She's not ready. It should be an open convention. Right now, she's just a mirror for Joe Biden, and that's a problem.
@@annetteeinker6756 You're just jealous of a black woman. Racist
@@annetteeinker6756She isn’t ready. She’s the freaking current vice president! That is as ready as you can get.
Threat to democracy
They've already anointed Harris. It's a done deal. These open convention theories are nothing but clickbait.
A cult 😂
And so if we didn’t push for an open convention the other side would (and already is) saying that it was all planned and it’s not democratic for us to not get a choice.. which that last part if true. The candidate was picked for us. There was no primary, no choice, just the people in power saying “okay, this person”. Whether or not it will actually happen doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.
@@vickmooredavid9479if the left/dems were a cult there would be more unity. This is a piss poor cult.
I'm for Harris let's just say She's not a felon She's not a rapist she didn't get her business ban she is no an old mad man
Harris is fine. She is positioned uniquely vs Trump.
I'm for whoever can beat Trump and possibly humiliate him in the debate. It would be even better if she can win because can you imagine the humiliation he'll suffer if he loses to a black woman. Oh my God he might be so distraught he would never show his face in public again. Okay that's probably too much to hope for but I can dream can't I.
He wouldn't care about that any more or less than any other candidate beating him.
You admit not knowing him at all then .
That's RFKjr. He's statistically the only one who can beat Trump. Remember your words, Trump will lose to RFKjr.
.
@@NancyK-cu6xjRFK Jr would easily defeat Trump in a debate. He’s very intelligent.
Love it😅 Goooo Blue💙💙💙
I just heard that Kamala has been working the phones practically since Biden announced, trying to consolidate support. If true, that shows a strategic ruthlessness that I kind of respect. To beat Trump, I think we need someone who will go no holds barred.
Democrats are only great at beating each other
I agree with this. She’s clearly immediately pivoted, and has energy and will. I don’t know much about her yet, but her behavior in this moment appears presidential so far.
@@AK-jt9gxJust wait until she speaks and it will all be over. Already the International news is showing her incoherent speeches and speaking about the criminals she bailed out of jail who quickly got locked up again for murder. This cannot be good when other countries feel this way. To be fair the international leaders don’t want either of the Presidential candidates. This is a dumpster fire.
I'm progressive as fuck and kamala is the right choice at this time. You cant by pass her. It just can't happen. Anyone with an inch of political savvy knows this.
I for one am SICK AF having candidates hand picked/coronated/anointed and told to fall in line. (I never do. I make up my own mind.) The corrupt establishment dnc, the Biden campaign and state Democratic leadership canceled the Democratic primaries in North carolina, louisiana, Tennessee in Florida! They disenfranchised me and millions of others in these states. Biden was only name on the ballot and you couldn't even WRITE IN. Harris is tainted with stink from Biden and is complicit in hiding Biden's massive decline.
Sadly as ive said before, i have not seen a big difference between progressive Democrats and regular Democrats because in the end nothing changes for the working American. We need an Independent candidate that is nothing like the Uniparties we have running the country now!! I wish the young turks were pushing for real change and an independent party.
Sanders made his career as an independent, and my bet in 2016 was that he had a good chance of winning if he gave the national majority a chance to vote for him in the general despite someone else being the Democratic nominee.
That would however be unprecedented; in more than two centuries, no candidate outside the latest party duopoly has ever won the White House.
My guess is that what Bernie himself expected was a repeat of 1912, when the vote split between Taft and Roosevelt allowed Wilson to win the office.
It’s not too hard to assess Trump as potentially even worse than Wilson (who became the closest to a dictator we’ve had yet).
Thing is, the “spoiler effect” - which favors the further right - is inherent in the “first past the post” voting system.
To get more viable options, we need STAR or at least ranked-choice voting.
To get that, we need to change the position of the incumbent legislators state by state. Fundamentally, that’s much more likely by achieving a majority in the Democratic Party than by putting the third-party cart before the horse.
The Biden 1+ Trillion Dollar infrastructure bill is squarely for the working Americans…who do you think is going to work on all the roads and bridges. You can’t export that work to other countries so it directly puts that incredible amount of money into the pockets of American workers.
No, he was forced out. He didn't do it out of the goodness of his heart. He was pushed out/
Exactly
They Bernied him and no one seems to be noticing that they will Bernie Harris, too!
AOC has already said that leadership & Megadonors don’t want her, either!
AOC and Bernie interviewed all viable candidates and asked if they would continue Biden’s platform of taxing the wealthy, continuing work on unions, lowering all prescription drugs and keeping Lina Kahn at the head of the FTC. and every single one said NO!
Harris was the only one that said she would AND AIPAC is totally against her cause they feel she far left of Biden on Israel and got pissed when she asked for a ceasefire!
You watch! These Motherfuckers will Bernie her regardless of how the voters feel.
Doesn't matter.
He's out.
Now the Dems have to choose a new nominee and VP and unite.
@@derekrequiem4359Key word is choose.
@@DillyPutty The nominee will be Harris, the only question is who the VP will be. Wikipedia has a shortlist of 4 people and they would all be stellar picks.
Just taking a guess but i think progressives realize its practically impossible to get anything progressive pushed through and may think Kamala would do just fine. They may also like her personally.
100% gonna be Harris
I believe in her. She has more sense in five of her fingers, than all the raised hands in any Republican vote (when they attend on time).
Sadly I agree
If they run Kamala it would be a Republican landslide. Have you heard her speech on the importance of the passage if time😂
Kamala needs to address Palestine Genocide
KAMALA HARRIS for PRESIDENT - "MORE THAN QUALIFIED." Thank You President Biden, for your, "HISTORY MAKING," leadership. You are a Class Act.
He is senile!! Thanks for paying attention, genius!
Kamala Harris needs to hire a voice coach. It is hard to get past her winy voice. She is a weak speaker and that matters. She needs a strong message and a good delivery. Not sure that will happen.
Those are for starters...
Biden stuttered. Whiny voice? If a nations leader is chosen for their speech ability rather than if they will throw 14 million people into concentration camps, USA is screwed.
I agree. And Americans judge on superficial qualities so this *is* important. Her voice is very nasal and grates on me. She needs a coach to work on this and also the word salad tendency. She also has a cackle like Hillary. I pray the people running the DNC realize this and get to work fast. We cannot afford 4 more years of the orange maniac.
Yes it’s shaky and whiny . She is not leadership material with a bad past
Just unsubscribed. This guy is insufferable.
I’m sure he’s grieving
@@jjs1990 🤣🤣🤣
Watching Dems assemble a candidate is like watching toddlers assemble a tent
Because Trump picking a VP that called him Hitler is the tent master in action.
Open convention is a no brainer.....If Kamala can win that, fair game!
Kamala doesn't thrill me in any way, BUT the thing that makes me think that she MIGHT be what we need (vs Trump) is that she's prosecuted a lot of cases, & she's kind of ruthless. She might be able to seriously hit Trump hard on the real truth regarding his legal woes in a way that properly explains to some people (and possibly persuade them) to finally see through some of the "witchhunt" bs.
To be super-clear, Kamala has never been my cup of tea. I'm just trying to see all sides & possibilities.
Also, she has a strong following among young voters.
Joe Biden did not put Kamala in his original message (strategically), because he didn't want to mix historical messages together... The separate messages were well timed. Otherwise, it would send the wrong signal and may not age well... *like this video.*
I think they choose Harris to not "spoil" some other big name on what the democratic establishment considers a lost race... greetings from Europe
As if there will be an election in 2028 if Trump gets in
@@cassandratq9301 i dont like Trump but this is an exageration and democratic establishment knows it... they will play some big name in 2028
You have to view the situation beyond a “ progressive” lens, there is much more at play. Harris is the logical choice, and the Democrats don’t want chaos. Anyone who wants to challenge her is free to do so. At the same time, anyone is free to endorse her as well.
I want to see Indian president
I agree. It’s time for unity. Let’s say they were forcing us to vote for Hillary than I’d be ñissed off. But Kamala is someone who I think is actually great.
Kamala reminds me of a drunk wine mom when she talks. Just a hot mess.
Bro you're all about Drama....unsubscribed
I was a Bernie fan in 2016 and 2020… was never b a big fan of Kamala… but at this point, I’m actually kinda pumped to have her over Biden 🤷🏼♂️
I don’t think I was gonna vote for Biden, but I can actually get behind her
That’s because you don’t know anything about her yet
@@hgservices5572 I’m very familiar with Kamala and her record as a prosecutor…
At this point, I’m voting for somebody that’s at least competent that’s against Trump … Biden wasn’t competent…
She’s got MY vote!🗳️🇺🇸
Can’t WAIT!!!✊🏽
Just remember AOC was backing the Geriatric to protect democracy.
She wants to be Harris's VP
@@basdfgwe we're not a democracy we are a republic, there's a huge difference.
Have the convention. I'm sure Kamala will win.
Yes, exciting. Just like the 1968 Democratic National Convention.
If they stick with Kamala, I want a Harris / Whitmer ticket. If too 'feminist' for the average American, then Harris / Shapiro. Either way, we need Midwest and/or Rust Belt representation. Politically-speaking, Harris still reeks of California. Definitely NOT Newsome.
I know nobody want's to talk about it anymore but Witmer put people with Covid back into nursing homes and killed a lot of people, and then tried to cover it up.
Unite and back whoever is picked. Quit starting problems. Don't be foolish
Geez Cenk, you are just really trying to stir up dissension in the ranks no matter what, aren’t you?? I agree that there should be an open convention, but please get behind Kamala if she gets the nomination (which I expect she will). It is possible to just report things without coming off like an a-hole.
Deciding that Harris is the presidential nominee is not "anointing" her. She was already part of the Biden/Harris team that Democratic voters chose.
💯
Dems ticket is Kamala lmfao
And yours is an orange gameshow host wannabe dictator whose cultists and himself literally had an insurrection after he LOST and thinks humans should consume bleach.
@@highenergy8281not even consume, mainline.
You are agaisnt Kamala Harris
Open conversation is what he said. We have to have one.
Is anyone feeling the Bern? Where is Bernie? And why did he endorse Biden right before Biden did what everyone knew was coming.
Bernie would definitely beat Trump but the Dems will never let him.
@@cyberbusker5079the main knock on Biden was that he was too old…Bernie is older with all due respect, that’ll be dumb
Being for an open convention does not mean they are against Harris. It just means they want a mandate from the members, as does Harris herself.
What exactly does "open convention" mean to you? Does it just mean that the delegates theoretically are unbound? Or does it mean that major Dems aren't allowed to support Kamala and she has to debate every John Random Dude who declares his candidacy?
Finally, some HOPE for 2024!
Might want to stop watching then because this guy is an agitator for the right. Can tell by how he's responded to the news + you can't mention the name of the right's extreme platform which is a... project... and a certain... year... without your comment disappearing. Total rat behavior
No anointment! The Dems ALWAYS pick the wrong candidate! Open convention!
Who is better,? Gavin ,Newsome is with Kamala and so is Whitmer ! No one else is even worthy of speaking on ... No one has Kamala's. experience. No one else will get my vote!
I side with the women who WON"T sleep with someone to further their career.
Kamala is the expert political for the job! Her work in California and during this year’s electoral elections is the best way forward. Go 2024!
