You tell Dem voters to “be better”, but you never say the same of Trump voters. You always serve as their apologist. Why is that? Is it for the same reason you are telling Dems to not criticize Trump’s clown car cabinet nominations until they are in office?
I absolutely do agree with what you’re saying about the two party system. There are too many people who are done with that model, me being one of them. I don’t agree with either party on a lot of issues. Both push too much of their own agendas and expect individuals to vote according to those agendas. It’s exhausting listening to them. As an unaffiliated independent voter I will watch what happens with an open mind and with skepticism.
The biggest problem is that the Republicans allowed China to buy an Island closer to the USA and Russia bought property in the Caribbean UNDER TRUMP !!! THE RUSSIANS MIGS WERE FLYING OVER THE USA UNDER TRUMP SMH !!! TRUMP IS WORRIED ABOUT THE BORDER OF MEXICO BUT NOT RUSSIA AND CHINA SMH !!! THEN NOBODY IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE BORDERS AROUND THE BOTH OCEANS Pacific and Atlantic AND NOT ENOUGH SECURITY TO PATROL in the GULF OF MEXICO !!! SMH !!! WHY DID TRUMP ALLOW ALL OF THIS TO HAPPEN AND THAT WAS LAST TIME CANT IMAGINE WHAT HE'S GOING TO ALLOW THIS TIME !!! IM AN INDEPENDENT NOT ANY PARTY I OBSERVED ALL OF THIS UNDER TRUMP last time !!!
Instead of berating cancelling and telling the working class they are wrong for how they think and what their values are, maybe listen to them. That is the lesson.
@@Remember_when and that is the problem, “I do not agree with your politics therefore your are stupid and racist and cannot think for yourself”. A rather arrogant view,.
F all of that. Why are they talking about any on this? President Trump is the boss. He won BIG! FOX news rules. They helped big! Rogan helped and so on. America got out and voted for what they wanted. Let's just move on and live the dream for GOD sake.
The left think they are allowed to call half the country bigots but the other half is not allowed to use the wrong acronym. This intolerance is what got them to lose support.
I’m a center left guy who votes Democratic. I’m also second gen Filipino American, and I really dislike the way Democrats oversimplify and assume that minorities like me are always behind whatever the Democrats feel obligated to support. Filipino Americans (like Mexican Americans and many other Latino groups) are overwhelmingly Catholic, have incredibly strong family and community values, and are completely overrepresented in the military, among other features. So many people in my community loathe Trump but many others have fallen out with the Democrats because of what we perceive as a demonization of so many of the things we value. The Democrats’ messaging and policy needs to change and stop treating minorities like children who should be told what to think.
What do you think Trump's going to do for you and your family? All I know, you better have your papers ready in case he goes through with his deportation project.
I always see the hate in the comments, but the truth is that you are 100% correct. As a former Democrat turned Independent this is exactly why most people voted for Trump. Until the Democrats figure this out the hate in the comments will continue. Half the US is in a state of panic jumping to conclusions when nothing has even happened, all because they've been trained to be scared by their own party and don't see it yet. FYI im a gay man, if you can't define a woman, we have issues.
@@jasonrosa447 hopefully Trump will keep doing his falsehoods so none of his agendas come to fruition but to idly sit by and hope they don’t makes zero sense either
It is interesting to me how blind many Democrats are as to why they lost. The same issue that caused them to lose is the same reason they can't comprehend why they lost.
Forget about stats and charts and graphs and polls. Here is why Kamala lost. (And I voted for her). She lost for 3 reasons. She’s a woman of color. She’s married to a Jew (which is distasteful to this very racist antisemetic nation) and finally, fox f-ing news. Fox News is the trump propaganda channel. They delivered trump on a silver platter by lying and spewing vile rhetoric on a daily basis and the magas ate it up and repeated it. Those are the three reasons. Her color, her husband and Fox News. *also she had a very short time to campaign and focused too much on trans issues. That’s also very distasteful for magas.
Nope, is not blindness, is just a huuuge amount of maga imbecility, hypocrisy and lack of attention. Guess what, all these have costs and the invoice is being written 😅😅😅
They obviously have a learning disability. They still haven't figured out what happened in 2016. They still cling to the same thing now. The definition of insanity is doing things the same way repeatedly and expecting different results 😢
@ so the election was Rigged in 2016: but this election wasn’t Rigged because he won, correct? Just trying to get that right. 🤔. And he won, because this is a racist, antisemitic country. This country doesn’t want a woman, a woman of color or a woman married to a Jew. It’s that disgusting and it’s that simple.
The race was not tight at all. Trump won 32 states out of 50. KamalaHarris won 18 states. Trump won all the 7 swing states , the electoral college, the popular vote, the Senate & the House. 😂😂😂😂
@@fmtalks1386 The electoral college is specifically designed to give a definitive result. So yes from popular vote it was indeed close. But in the electoral college it was a blow out. The system worked as designed. In addition the electoral college weights winning states more than total votes. Again as designed Trump won 32 states. Kamala got close on the popular vote mainly because of California gave her a 3.2 million advantage. Clinton twice, Bush and Trump once won without a majority in popular vote. Trump won both. A monumental achievement given what the Dems did to try to stop him. Nothing short of a historically big win and comeback. The Donald is a winner and it’s impostor deny!
Chris. What no one really understands yet, is that this election has now given permission for Hispanics and African Americans to vote for republicans . If the the ground level economics for working families improves over the next 4 years, then this will result in structural changes in politics
And there is your problem what a racist statement you have given the minority that we’ve had under our thumb with all kinds of bull hockey permission to vote for another party. Listen to yourself. They were never supposed to think for themselves. They were never supposed to be free they were always supposed to belong to us says the Democrat party oh my word that is your problem.

As an independent, nobody is failing more than the Democrats given the last 4 years. Republicans have their flaws, but at least they have common sense.
@@brendahull4910 Don't know what the final count was, in blue states Kennedy got 4% of the vote on the 6th. If he gets to 5% we will have a legitimate third party. Here's to hoping it will be so. and they won't be able to pull their shenanigans.
I think the single thing that surprised America is the lack of ethics that prevails in elected officials and the significant amount of misinformation. Those we elect no longer have an attitude of service to those who pay their salaries.
Ethics like thousands of journalists who are supposed to serve as the 'forth estate' instead choosing to LIE for years to help their preferred party cover up that the president of the United States could barely function mentally? Ethics like then lying and gaslighting over and over for months when caught red-handed at the debate, telling viewers that he was perfectly spry and fit and to stop believing their lying eyes? Ethics like then turning on the guy, forcing him out against his will, and not even admitting the lies and bullshit before hand and instead, again gaslighting the public that Biden was a noble man who heroically decided to move aside for the good of the country? Like we hadn't just watched the intrigue that just happened? Ethics like then denying the democratic process and simply appointing his VP so she could have the pile of donation money? Then having the AUDACITY to try to use Trumps age as an attack immediately after doing all of this? Ethics like screaming that democracy is going to end, fascism is coming, rights are ending, and the sky is falling, if Trump gets elected? Knowing full well that he had already been nearly killed once. It then leads to a second attempt where the perpetrator DIRECTLY quoted some of this hyperbole as reasoning for it, but Democrats not only keep up with the rhetoric, but make it even more unhinged? Wasting donation money on celebrities? Journalists and Democrats instantly dropping the Hitler stuff the very day after the election, showing they meant NONE of it, and just shrugging it off like its no big deal? To even suggest that you people have the moral high-ground shows just what arrogant, self-righteous, insufferable people Democrats truly can be.
@@potcha The funniest one was Joe Scarborough yelling at his audience how on top of it was Joe Biden. Even yelling the F word to his audience. Very funny and over the top. The real funny thing is people believed him. Then believed him a few weeks later when he was calling for Joe to go. Really outrageous lies, with such a straight face.
Chris, thank you for having such a pragmatic viewpoint and sharing that with a country that is truly hurting. To everyone who watches Chris and gets frustrated with him: I would suggest listening with an intent to understand and not just hearing someone in opposition to your established ideas. We should be challenging the status quo, and it really is a good idea to assume positive intentions instead of knee-jerk demonizing.
@@nourishday6247 To understand that you need to realize the Identity Politics play. He’s black a so called activist, identity politics dictates patronage.

I voted Harris but cringed listening to her rally speeches. We all knew verbatim what she was going to say. When we fight WE WIN. Gah. I felt like I was listening to my junior high school P.E coach. Be real. I wish she would have relaxed & just spoke instead of following a script. Even her inflection was exact. Really What the hell was she thinking? Trump stumbling & rambling at his worst trumped her best night. She did not inspire confidence. Because SHE clearly was now confident herself!! WHY isn’t COMMUNICATION important to the Democrats? They’ve got their head in the clouds & it really ticks me off. Now we’re under the rule of a conman & a tyrant. We can only keep our fingers crossed
@@musicman6699 The Dems communication was bad because their policies are horrible and indefensible they can’t even say what they’re for because no one wants it. Look at big cities and how the Dems have use progressive policies to run American cities into the ditch. In SF shoplifting is so bad the toothpaste is locked up at Walgreens. Homeless encampments covering entire sidewalks with trash, garbage and human fecies on street. People shooting up with needles all over the streets. Prostitution in front of city hall. It’s disgusting and they act as though this is normal and healthy.
1) America just went full far-right Maga. I don't think woke is over yet, quite the contrary, I am afraid we about to witness more of George Floyd scenarios, more women's social battles, and more hate towards LGBT people 2) intrigued to understand why the Democratic party is socialist and hate the capital (as in money) Can you elaborate on your opinion?
Sorry he's a hypocrite rt now all the good things he's saying about Biden economy n how trump inherited Obama economy he wasn't saying it few weeks ago

I agree. The Republican Party needs to be fixed too so we might as well fix both parties at the same time. Bonus: maybe fix the libertarian party too (they're just as cringe as the other two).
Hey Chris, I’ve been a huge fan since your CNN days even before you got onto Prime Time. I love the work you’re doing and I really believe your heart is in the right place. Please ignore the vitriol you get sometimes. You’re a much needed voice of reason so please don’t stop.I hope the Democratic Party take your advice onboard. It can become the party it was when your father was in it once again. America will be better for it. And I truly hope you are happy and fulfilled. Because you deserve it. We all do. I wish you, your mum, your brother especially (great man too), your wife and kids and your sisters well. God bless you
@@dapoolatunji8302 Just to point out simple facts. Trump was never charged with insurrection and neither was anyone. None Nada no one ! So calling it an insurrection is factually incorrect.
What we've learned is that throwing a random person infront of a crowd and telling them to "like this person please", casue she's wholesome, does not work, and never will work, for that matter. Humans dont work that way. She was missing in action for almost 4 years as the VP. No charisma what so ever. Awkward when talking or laughing. "Excuse me, excuse me, i'm talking ..." did not help either with the folks in Michigan. To my knowlegde, people in general dont like the law, or should i say, people that go around and tell everybody that "they are the law" so, they are always "right" and you are wrong. Looking down on people. It just leaves a bad impression, like a cop giving you a parking ticket with a big smile on his face. Her pants suit lawyer image didnt help either. Trump could have, like literally shot someone on 5th avenue, as an "Oktober surprise", and he would still have won.
So you prefer how Trump speaks to Americans? Degrades them, makes fun of them? Makes no sense at his rally’s? Do you actually pay attention to what he says?
I feel the same way Chris feels, I did not vote for Trump, and Idid not vote for Kamala Harris, I felt that the system is just going to fail the people and no matter who gets in the system is just going to go to hell, because everyone is only thinking of themslves.
We don't need politicians to raise our children, to tell us what/how to worship, to give us pronouns and re-assign our gender, and to tell minorities they are not capable of achieving by their own merit. Americans have always cared about family, the freedom to worship, finances, education, health, public safety-all of which are under attack. How unfortunate that a political party would be so eager to destroy the foundation of our country. Millions of Americans finally had enough! God Bless America and the generations to come.
One solution both parties need to do that they aren’t doing is advocating for more vocational job year long training schools in every city like Pittsburgh, PA that has a place called the Bidwell Training Center.
The democrats hurt their movement when they took out Bernie Sanders. Bernie had good policies. Now the men who supported Bernie now support Trump. Kamala was unpopular. Im yet to meet a voter of hers who liked her for reasons other than emotional reasons
This is your best podcast ever Chris Cuomo. And it's not even close. You knocked it out of the park man. MUST-listen stuff. For everyone, but especially Progressives and Democrats
If “one is too many” as far as boys in girl’s sports (which I agree) The same argument has to be made that “one is too many” as far as women dying as a result the abortion bans in certain states. Our protection has been wiped away…
And Trump has said over and over he will let it go to the states. Do we have a country wide abortion law? Did we not just have it on the ballot in many states? You don't just get to define what someones position is and insist over and over again that you are correct and anyone who doesn't believe you is stupid, which is what Democrats have consistently done on the abortion issue. Abortion has been hotly debated around the world for a century, this is not just if they can or cannot happen, but when, what exceptions, in what situations, etc. The arrogance of just declaring it 'settled' and from now on my position is the correct one and anyone disagreeing hates women and wants them all dead, is not reasonable or useful. This is the way Democrats have started to make every single position on every single topic. You either see it our way, or you are an X Y Z, and we will do everything we can to make your life hell, demonize you, belittle you, and otherwise behave like horrible people towards you. This isn't unethical or despicable behavior because we are righteous. You know we are because we just told you we are. This is not sustainable
if you wanna fight for abortion, you can fight for it on the state level. But first world women now finally have an actual issue to tackle and guess what men and boys aren’t responsible for fucking doing it for you. Do you want respect for abortion and body autonomy? You might want to extend those things to men and boys otherwise I don’t see why they should have any reason to give a shit.
@@bortsimpson4536 But your party is pushing Trans Women into women Sports. Also, we are split on abortion, but 85% don’t believe biological men in women’s sports is a good idea. That’s pretty definitive and the Dems just took one for Trans athletes. Bad politics for sure. Besides thumbing your nose at science it’s just bad politics.
Like I frequently say, "I am as 'politically blue' as the sky on a clear day". I have a confession however: Many times when I listened to VP Harris, I was sincerely sadly embarrassed. "Word salad" is KIND..... my version: What is she BABBLING about!?!?!" just embarrassing (& ultimately unsuccessful). All of the circular statements to NOWHERE. Is this REALLY the best that our nation can produce??
Finally, someone in the media is saying it.🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ Eight years of them bitching about every little thing he says. I don’t care what he says. What is he doing and more specifically what impact will that have on my life and my ability to survive.
The January 6th insurrection will forever change my view about the Republican Party and how I view Trump. As President he showed me that his wealthy ego and selfish behavior toward his role as President and remarks he made about Vice President Pence are unforgivable. He lacks respect and I don't trust him. I don't care if he has the best policies. His character is disgraceful
This is just such a joke. Do you think the country forgot that for the entire summer, riots were happening all over the country, police stations set on fire, businesses destroyed, an ENTIRE CAPITAL HILL BLOCK taken over for a month and declared a independent zone of chop/chaz? The only difference is that there is only one major right-wing network, so they couldn't run hysteria filled propaganda 24/7 saying _"DEMOCRATS HAVE SEIZED A CITY AND ATTEMPTED TO SECEDE FROM THE UNION RIGHT ON CAPITAL HILL! We will NEVER forget where we were on 7/1!"_ and have it hit every news station night after night and base hearings around it for a year. But then you have the nerve to clutch pearls about some lethargic Trump supporters, mostly elderly, pushing their way into the capital building and vandalizing for what, 3 hours? After 3 months of chaos across the country from Democrats? Enough of the selective outrage and gaslighting.
I'm fine with policy differences. Everyone has different priorities. I get that. The thing that makes me angry is how many people are ok with supporting a criminal. Someone who is so clearly a conman that its painful to watch people fall for it. We all watched as he publicly tried to seize power through illegal means. I will NEVER forget that betrayal.
As a black man ,trump main goal is to deport Latinos for what ,cause there taking black jobs, stop confusing us whether we want to work or not, they are not taking are jobs there taking trump people jobs he's tryna put blacks against Latinos that's not going to work, if we wanted those jobs we would have applied.
@@secretweapon7764 people discounted his conviction because it was obvious that it was the left using the legal system to destroy their political enemy. It failed because is was to obvious and only served to increase his political power. If it wasn’t for the lawfare he probably could not have won.
One thing I learned when working in an inner city school was the strong prejudice between Latino and black people. I was surprised at the widespread, strong prejudice between the two races.
As an Independent, I think the Democratic Party needs to spend time and money dispelling the GOP myths. (Like, they are good for the economy.) Forget highlighting a person, highlight the power accomplishments of the party.
Trump's tariffs will cause inflation to soar. The economy will drop. With the lowering of tax rates for the wealthy and large corporations, the national debt will grow just as it did during Trump's last term in office.
And stop calling half the country "deplorable, garbage, racists, bigots, uneducated" etc etc. The country as a whole, and probably 95% of the people, are much less hateful and evil than the Democrats and legacy media would have you believe. They actually all get along quite well until politics aren't brought into it and people lose their shit over other people viewing things differently
@@rachelhughes8951 I think Democrats could be good for economy but, they seem to be opposed to businesses and workers. Only advocate for the homeless and the illegals.
@@mabellscott379 Nobody cares about you and your illiterate, bitter fear & hate mongering. Trump will be gone in four years and Vance won't save you. Sorry.

@@fadedglory1045 I’m neither a Dem or Republican… you cannot act like Republicans, based on this election alone, stood on any values. As a Christian Independent, Republicans so called Christians touted Trump as a messiah type figure. Concerned with transgender surgery and men in women’s restrooms claiming to be for women while making excuses or just looking the other way when it comes everyone who has a history of SA or s3x with minors… unless they’re trans. Concern with ab0rtion but ok with a man being sentenced to 6 months for poisoning his wife to cause the pregnancy to end.
Kamala did NOT run on cultural issues...at all. The problem is her campaign didn't fight back hard enough against the trump campaign defining her in that way. She rolled out so many economic policies that could have helped people but the media focused on trump's attacks on her and those trans ads were effective. Kamala never once spoke about that issue except for in an interview to say that she would follow the law and the law was the same under trump's admin. That's it, but because those ads ran to very targeted groups, it worked to depress her vote. I knew people that were excited about her in the beginning and supported her policies but were looking at other candidates like Cornell West because they were worried that she was going to push a trans ageneda. I tried to debunk the misrepresentations in those ads to people I knew but they were far reaching. Plus there was a coordinated effort by black men influencers (probably paid) in the finance space to encourage their followers not to vote and that made a difference as well. Plus we were in a global space where all incumbent parties lost due to post-pandemic inflation. There were just huge headwinds that she had to deal with.
She was a robot. She clearly didn't want to talk to people unless it was scripted or heavily edited afterwards. And I heard a bunch of her policies, it seemed like a lot of "give people more money" which sounds like "raise inflation more and raise taxes". The system needs to change. Democrats can't just continue running on giving out more "free" money. It all needs to be reworked entirely.
She did not want to do a podcast..... A conversation type, not those kinds that push. The one with one of the most reach in audience, stretched his hand to her, and was turned down....
@@te3616 she didn’t run on cultural issues but, she was defined by them. Since she refused to answer any questions her opponent defined her. The trans commercial by Trump was devastating. She could not back away from it because she was the commercial. If in one campaign you say it, expect it to ultimately boomerang back to you,
I am so glad Chris that you are talking about this issue. Dems vs. Reps (old news) Learn the lessons we need to learn to move on and be better! Thank you ❤
I agree Chris, there is too much divisiveness. I hope things change because we cannot go on as a nation with one party hating the other. It’s been so frustrating this election season. I hope we can find common ground. I would like us to focus on our entire election process which is way too lengthy and confusing. We should do like the United Kingdom where it’s a matter of months and public service announcements in lieu of big money donations and year long campaign process. To this end we need to focus on overturning Citizens United, and get rid of the electoral college which weighs too heavily on individual states and not on one vote per person. Thank you so much for your contribution to sanity
We can't get rid of it. We are not a democracy. We are a republic. The founding fathers did not want a democracy because they didn't want the 50.1 always telling the 49.9 want to do.
As a black woman, Kamala Harris embarrassed me for her lack of seriousness, firmness and conviction. Her speeches were empty and said absolutely nothing, the only thing she did was laugh exaggeratedly and say meaningless words. As a Democratic voter that I am, I voted for Trump, I would NEVER have been able to vote for Kamala, a VERY BAD CANDIDATE who would never have won the primaries..........Terrible defeat for the Democrats
@curticusmaximus nope, the vast majority of democrats voted to save democracy, too keep the economy growing so every American could thrive. The people who refused to use any educated informed decision making not only in their best interest but for everyone. They voted a man who has had filled bankruptcy 6 times, convicted of 34 felonies, convicted of sexually abusing women. Trump and his administration will prove to them how wrong they were. Our only problem was not realizing just how unintelligent so many Americans are
8:00 Trump is the best salesman in the world not Zelensky. Majority of voters for Don didn’t research, cross reference, or ✅fact him . This simple minded tribal group thinkers just buy into anything he says as truth without any hesitation he tricked and duped em😂
You’re suffering from exactly what Chris said, you’re blaming Trump voter for their vote. That’s condescending and counterproductive. Try to think it terms of how the left was perceived by Trump Voters. They are perceived as an over zealot cancel mob that doesn’t allow opposing positions. So anything you say they tune out and ignore you. Keep up the condescending attitude you’ll lose again
You mean like the Democrats duped the whole world into thinking that Biden wasn't going senile? Who has the nuclear codes other than Biden who has not been authorized to have the nuclear codes
If truly being a “Black” woman was Harris’ great disadvantage to win the presidency. I cannot embrace that assessment. The truth is she is not too “black” for it to have been a disadvantage. What I mean is she did not present herself as a woman steeped in the “black” culture. And she was very light skinned besides. In today’s America, this was not the deal breaker. It was her level of incompetence and her inability to make her case to the American people. As long as her race, gender or color becomes remains the excuse for her loss… the Dems will stay committed to “identity” politics and will lose over and over again. JD Vance had to re-present himself and separate himself from a former stereotype and perception people had of him. He is successfully doing it through his competency and ability to address the issues that matter when he is being interviewed. No word “salads” but real comprehensive answers.
Listen please what we are doing is just playing a blame game as my son told me one concerning me and my wife .. Harris has done her best job she could have done as a sitting vice president and candidate..the truth is that we are in denial of the truth:our political system is corrupt and even manipulative as money was distributed around the swings Estate, millions dollars gambling we must understand that game
The success of Donald Trump is not as much a failure of the Democratic Party as it is a failure of the judgment and character of the American electorate. Anyone who says different has not been paying attention. I vote for the party that will hurt the middle-class and the poor less and hurt the uber-wealthy more. If one possesses a working ethical compass and a scintilla of deductive reasoning unclouded by right-wingnut ideology, you would automatically vote Democrat, even with all of their flaws.
Makes perfect sense knowing that NO PARTY can please all the people! Grievance won out this time. I’m hoping for a total gut in the next four years, a race TO THE BOTTOM. Gut social security, cut Medicare, eliminate ACA, tax cuts and benefits to the rich and corporations… The sooner we get to the bottom, the sooner we can rebuild. 🙌
Time to enjoy the rewards. People came out in droves for President Trump. Lets get going! This country should be rocking from the affirmative that occurred. No more complaining. No more excuses. The only thing we should be hearing and seeing is contentment by the majority because all reps are doing their jobs without obstruction. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WAY ANYMORE. LET THEM DO THEIR JOBS.
It’s a failure on both parties. There is no way a guy like Trump should be president again. The Republican Party allowed him and MAGA to take over. The Democrats failed by not getting behind anyone but Biden and Harris.
Oh they fixed the Republican Party alright--- fixed it to an anti-abortion, anti-Constitution, anti-American agenda they will never live down. Most voters know Republicans have been criminals since Nixon, they just were disappointed with Biden and voted as such.
Chris, I am one of the constant watchers of your podcasts and I agree with your perspective most of the time but in some respects I would beg to differ: 1. Cannot what trump says -words matter and his have the power to curb lives, destinies, fates. He is toxic and that is more than obvious. 2. Hatred and desire for retribution seem to fuel the vote. Any average sane mind would reject right from the get-go the constant lies, exaggerations, monstruos twisting of reality, but sanity is no longer a working hypothesis, what we're seeing has pathological names. Now, I agree, that the lesson is harsh and many good answers could emerge from this election result. The next 4 years will not be kind to the today's winners. Please receive my sincere congratulations for the way you have re-imagined yourself, you're worthy of all admiration one can feel.
An old Conservative Republican branch would be too small to be viable. It's possible it could merge with moderate Democrats into some kind of Corporatist party but it would probably just fizzle out. Any leftist opposition to MAGA that stands a chance will also need to be populist.
Many Politicians are RICH and have a better Future for themselves and their family members. Please, you guys should leave this BLAMING GAME ALONE. And Move on. Try and stay focuse on yourself, your children, and your Future. Always try to EMBRACE CHANGE... Because CHANGE is always CONSTANT...

I agree with 90% of your analysis. However, when you say not to pay attention to Trump and what he says but what he does, I believe you're engaging in wishful thinking, partly because a large part of the country is engaged in a personality cult and willing to bend the basic rules of democracy to please him, and partly because his behavior and rhetoric are outrageous. It's outrageous that his son is posting about policy and writing that "the pocket money for Zelensky is about to run out," as if America were a monarchy and he was the prince and heir to the throne. Also, when you say to wait and see how Matt Gaetz would govern, it dismisses the purpose of the vetting process. Finally, I like listening to you because you have become a voice of reason in the chaos, but you, too, almost completely ignore the Middle East issue. Harris hemorrhaged Muslim and non-Muslim votes because of Palestine. That's the one topic where I don't see you trying to be balanced, and we need balanced voices coming from America.
Thanks for this. I especially agree about rank choice voting. That would make things so much better for our system. I wish more people saw the benefits of that.
People lie to exit pollsters and we really have no clue which group voted for who. Any analysis of those numbers is guesswork at best and wishful thinking at worst.
In your discussion, you shared many thoughts with sincerity, which was quite refreshing. Your straightforwardness lies in the middle ground, similar to where many conservatives stand. None of us here are extreme in our views; we find ourselves in a moderate position. I am willing to allow Trump his four years and criticize him if he veers too much to the right. At present, his policies starkly contrast those of Biden. It's worth noting the notion that "Scranton Joe Got Hijacked" by an unknown, possibly shady left progressive group. Although this wasn't explicitly mentioned, it is a point worth considering. During his term, the White House was not truly under Joe's control. Initially as a Senator, he held a centrist, possibly at times slightly right-leaning position, only to transition into a far left stance later as President (he was the top 3 worst the US has had). I value your insights, and while I'll support Trump loudly if he significantly benefits America, I'll also critique him if necessary. Your appearances on Newsnation, particularly when presenting differing perspectives on panels, provide a well-rounded view of your stance. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I think there was one thing that you forgot and we cannot avoid this- Americans are not idiots and if you choose to go on TV and never answer one question (or gaslight Americans)- you are guaranteed to lose. and rightfully so……
I'd like to address a couple of points Chris made. First - I'm Australian, living in Australia. So I'm an outsider. But our parliamentary system borrowed heavily from yours. We're a federated parliamentary democracy - that is to say a bunch of colonies of Great Britain that left home - in 1901. Yes, our Head of State is King Charles, who appoints someone to represent him at both state and federal levels; however the person appointed to the role is chosen by the First Minister - that is to say the state Premier or national Prime Minister. 1) The 2 party system. Chris - if you're so upset by that system (& it seems many are like you) then find somebody to talk about it with on the program. Present ways to open up your system. From what I see from the outside - you DO have alternate parties currently. The Greens for the left - who ran a POTUS candidate (Jill Stein) in the recent election. The Libertarians on the right - who chose NOT to run a POTUS candidate this year. Over here (& NZ, Canada & Western Europe) The Greens tend to be in the House (and/or Senate). That's because under our systems the governing party is the one that got the majority in the House - which The Greens will NEVER DO - ANYWHERE. So how do you get the minor parties into the House & Senate? You keep talking about how much you hate the 2 party system. How's bout putting your money where your mouth is - find a political science academic, or interview Greens & Libertarians to open up a conversation? 2) Not voting. Right now you're actually part of the problem you despise. Why? The focus on the Presidential race and the College. Nobody cares if you don't vote OR vote 3rd party because of the way the states structure the College - "The Winner Takes It All" in 48 states. And there's only 2 candidates that matter - the Democrat & the Republican. 3rd party & Independents don't matter.. So - here you've got 2 choices. 1) Constitutional reform to REMOVE references to the College. Yep, I know, I just committed heresy. So 2) Something like the National Popular Vote Compact - but to get there you need enough states to 1) total the 270 needed to win the College to 2) sign up. 3) Trans athletes. Especially m2f ones. The whole controversy stemmed from ONE such person, who was a swimmer. In case no one saw this there were photos of them as a male. Their height was 6'9" & they had a solid build. Why is NOBODY talking about this person being unfair competition in the male swimming competition. Because with that height and build - they were. Ok?
@bethdumont9020. Thank you💯‼️ Thank you very much🤗. You see from Australia what many choose not to see here. Chris is playing in our faces as unbiased, but he is anything but. His intellectual musings about a third party or not voting are empty. There is no chance of success any time soon. It’s all talk with no purpose.
@beewoke so how do you progress from talk with no purpose to action? You want reform, you gotta demand reform. But here's another problem. Not everybody out there is political. In Australia recent research compared the member base of our big 2 - Australian Labor Party (Democrat in the US) & Liberal Party (Republican in the US, don't let the name fool you) with the member base of AFL clubs. Australian Football League is the junior of our 2 football codes, the other being the National Rugby League. NRL - huge in 2 states (Qld & NSW) with a team in Vic & a team in NZ. AFL - huge in 1 state (Vic) with teams in QLD (2), NSW, SA & WA (1/state) & ALL those non-Vic teams were Vic teams that hadda move because of the size of the market in Vic made things uneconomical. EIGHT AFL clubs had bigger member bases than either political party. TWO AFL clubs had bigger member bases than BOTH parties COMBINED. Over here voting's compulsory & has been since 1924. This means we have high voter turnout levels as a percentage of the voting eligible popn. Once invalid votes are corrected for our AVERAGE EFFECTIVE VOTER PARTICIPATION RATE IS 85%. The US AVERAGE VOTER TURNOUT RATE IS 55%. I wish I had the answers on how to motivate others to care, but I don't.
First and foremost, campaign finance reform is needed. Corporations and big money donors control the political agenda which is why third parties are at a major disadvantage to the point where I think it will be yearrrrrs before they will be viable. Dems will need to identify core principles with key groups around which specific policies emerge. Party leadership did not serve them well. A major problem with their campaign was their failure to provide consistent, concrete messaging about their record and how that would be different going forward. There needed to be dialogue with third parties and key communities to ensure representation and that key concerns were generally incorporated. The “abortion issue” would have been better framed more broadly as women’s reproductive freedom. It will likely be an issue in the next election. Most importantly, the economy should be given prime consideration always. Voters rights must be protected. And, though I anticipate major setbacks during this next administration, social justice initiatives will be needed to readdress inequities in the distribution of government resources. And, there must be a strong environmental agenda. Dems had major accomplishments relative to the economy, prescription drug costs, healthcare access, child poverty, crime,etc., policies which unquestionably helped to strengthen the middle class from the middle out and the bottom up. Inflation obscured that growth. The U.S. economy was considered the best in the world while Trump wailed about the failed economy. Economists argued that his economic plan would increase consumer costs, cause inflation to increase and result in recession. Many seemed not to hear the warning. Rather, they repeated tropes about the failed economy. One analyst described Trump as an “asymmetrical actor in a conventional game.” Indeed, he was. He lied relentlessly, falsely taking credit or denying Dem successes altogether. He questioned why they hadn’t accomplished certain issues when he’d had 4 years and not addressed some of those same problems. He claimed he kept promises made when he obviously did not. He was going to “fix the border” and Mexico was going to pay. False on both counts. An evaluation of promises made versus those kept revealed he actually kept only 24 percent. He gave tax cuts to the rich and increased the national debt by half. Yet, many chose to believe his falsehoods. This brings me to something that many pundits, including Chris, refuse to admit. Trump has been a divisive figure for more than two decades. His rhetoric has been hateful, racist, misogynistic, xenophobic and lacking in civility and empathy. Some of his comments about Harris can only be described as vulgar and vicious. To be candid, a man would have faired better. Trump ran a campaign of white male grievance with a goal of advancing white economic and political dominance as outlined in Project 2025. Though he lied that he had nothing to do with it, that document should have given Americans major pause. Clearly, it was aimed at elevating him to a position of unchecked power with no accountability. He openly talked about militarizing the police and immunizing them from prosecution for what seemed like a purge. I think many will lose their livelihoods and some will lose their lives as a result of Trump policies. In the next election cycle, unity must be encouraged by trying to bridge major concerns of disparate groups relative to individual freedoms, our environment and our country. We will also likely need to address U.S. isolationism under Trump.
@beewoke yes AND no to finance reform. Do you need it? Yes, absolutely. The key is in the path from here to there. We had a federal election in 2022 and won by the ALP (Democrats in the US). (Over here, the party that wins the most seats - minimum of 76 needed - in the House is who forms the government. We separate the roles of Head of State (King Charles or his representative) & Head of Government (Prime Minister & state Premiers)). The ALP replaced the Liberals (Republicans in the US) as the government. The Liberals were decimated. Literally. The biggest block was a group of Independents known as the Teal Independents. They all up took about 10 seats from the Liberal party and ran on 2 key issues - climate change and the need for a federal anti-corruption commission. They ran community based campaigns at the local level. It is doable. Speaking as an outsider - way I see it, you place far too much emphasis on the Presidential race. If you want change, you gotta start at the local level. And state level because your federal election is run by the states. Over here - the federal election is run by the federal government thru the Australian Electoral Commission or AEC. Each state has its own electoral commission that is responsible for the election in that state as well as local government elections. Place some emphasis on the down ballot races for the House and Senate because a minor party or an Independent WILL NEVER GET ENOUGH VOTES FOR POTUS. Perot came the closest in 1992, getting only 19% of the popular vote. The only reason Perot ran to begin with was because Perot dared folk to get out and get him on the ballot to begin with - just watched something on that. While folk don't hold their elected officials accountable by voting for an alternative, nothing will change. The big 2 don't care whether or not you vote - voting Independent or 3rd party for POTUS is like peeing in dark trousers - gives you a warm feeling but nobody notices - or cares for that matter. To get change, you gotta get Independents & 3rd party's into the system somehow. The best way to do so is to get em into the House or Senate. To do that, well - people gotta vote for em & right now - they don't.
@@bethdumont9020 Short answer. Discuss with purpose, with the goal of seeking answers, of actually improving the system to better serve citizens. What are major issues with the 2 party system? How do you avoid adding a 3rd party with similar challenges or flaws as the other 2? What do 3rd parties have in common with the 2 major parties? How would they differ? Convene conferences and round tables of scholars, activists, party representatives and citizens to discuss key issues. What steps should be involved in establishing a viable 3rd party with a necessarily long term vision? I don’t think current discussions are strategic. In fact, sometimes they seem manipulative. Curiously, 3rd party candidates of the Green Party, Libertarians, Natural Law, Independents, etc. seem to magically emerge every 4 years. We’re at an obvious crossroads as a country. The most pressing, potentially consequential, step right now in my view would be to unite behind an organized plan for campaign finance reform. We’re literally at a point where big corporations and the rich drive the agenda. This would be a major impediment to 3rd party success.
I actually agree with this. Its the Working Class/Essential Workers movement that matters and not Trump who simply gave what was already happening Visibility. We don't want to be told: what to think, how to think,what to wear, and so on. We don't value Academics,we value Makers and Creators, "thinking, or intellectualizing," is seen as not being grounded in commonsense reality but fantasy.
You are right about what they say on cultural issues. I reprimanded a few left leaning TH-camrs for just that issue. If the left was all about leaving people alone to choose who or what they love, they had to stop with the Vance/couch gossip. If they do not hurt someone else, do not condemn anyone for who or what they choose to love or enjoy sex with. 💜
I have a few thoughts on this. First, you are correct about Latins. I spoke with Latino contractors, blue collar workers, service workers, white collar workers, etc., they do not consider themselves as a monolith, but as separate groups of individual identities. You are further right that the Latins I spoke with tend to be conservative, were born here or were legal immigrants and considered "pocketbook" issues to be of paramount importance. Second, in 2016 I read that white men's economic power, as a demographic and as a percentage of the economy, peaked in 1969 and has been eroding ever since. The same study found that black men's economic power, as a demographic and as a percentage of the economy, peaked in 1983 and has been eroding ever since. Despite the fact that both white and black men's economic situation may have improved since 1969 and 1983 respectively, their influence in the economy as groups have been slipping for 55 years for white men and 41 years for black men. Assuming the results of this study to be accurate, it is no surprise that white and black men feel they were better off when Trump was President. The same may be true of Latin men. Most men view themselves as "providers" even if they are not the highest earner in the family. It should be no surprise if men in general felt they were better off when Trump was President. Third, I think too many people "go nuclear" when they disagree with someone. The result often is when a disagreement arises, someone has to try to cancel the other. Not every disagreement, every insult, every slight, justifies the veritable "death penalty" of cancelation. Look at the case of Annie Dunleavy, a CT special ed teacher who posted to her private Instagram account, a rant against Trump supporters. One of the Instagram viewers posted it publicly. The reaction was nearly instantaneous: she was suspended from her job, she ultimately resigned and will be hard pressed to find another teaching job. Anywhere, anytime soon. Like millions of people, she was upset at the election results. She made a mistake, a poor decision, and has been canceled for it. We all have to get back to the times when we could disagree with someone without being disagreeable. We have to accept that we all have the right to our own opinions on issues both big and small. That means the people who disagree with us have the right to disagree. We as a society must learn
Chris, the current Democrat Party is not the same Democrat Party that your father served in. Stop apologizing to them, stop helping them, stop explaining to them what they did wrong. They won't listen anyway. Just let the whole thing takes its course. Some will survive and some won't. And when the party is at rock bottom (which believe it or not, I don't think they've hit yet, but getting close!) they will figure it out.
The two party system is far better than a multi-party system which is what many European countries have. The reason is, with a two party system, there is a clear majority but with a mulit-party system there is not. In a multi-party system nothing ever gets accomplished because it guarantees that a sizable minority will always win and that means that a majority of the voters will lose. If you have 3 major parties, that means 1/3 of voters win and 2/3 of voters lose such as 34% vote yes, 33% vote no and another 33% vote no. The 34% win and 66% lose. Not a good system. That is why nothing ever gets done in most European countries.
Eh. I'd argue that probably 60-70% percent of the people who vote in most elections don't actually like the person they're voting for, they're doing the "lesser of two evils" thing. What really needs to happen, is allow a " second pick" that would allow people to vote for who they really want, but if that person has no shot once ballots are counted, then their second pick counts. That way its not "wasted".
Never enjoyed CC on CNN hence, rarely watched his broadcasts under that regime. Here on YT: seems like I tap into CC daily. As a right of center person who voted 45/47, I appreciate CC's attempt to be objective on this channel.
Over the last few weeks, you have come across as reasonable, open to new information, and able to communicate with those you oppose to try to find better answers for the country and the world. Wouldn't it be lovely if the two parties actually stopped yelling past each other and interact in a way that finds better ways of fixing our problems? Keep doing what you seem to be doing now. Believe it -- you'll make a ton of money from folks who can advertise on your platform without worrying that you'll be calling their other potential customers as "garbage" or "fascists" or whatnot.
Are identity politics helping or hurting the Democratic Party?
You tell Dem voters to “be better”, but you never say the same of Trump voters. You always serve as their apologist. Why is that? Is it for the same reason you are telling Dems to not criticize Trump’s clown car cabinet nominations until they are in office?
I absolutely do agree with what you’re saying about the two party system. There are too many people who are done with that model, me being one of them. I don’t agree with either party on a lot of issues. Both push too much of their own agendas and expect individuals to vote according to those agendas. It’s exhausting listening to them. As an unaffiliated independent voter I will watch what happens with an open mind and with skepticism.
"Trump sucks but you suck." 🤣
Hurting and I'm a woman that voted blue I think you need a solid foundation if it's not solid you just get fighting!
The biggest problem is that the Republicans allowed China to buy an Island closer to the USA and Russia bought property in the Caribbean UNDER TRUMP !!! THE RUSSIANS MIGS WERE FLYING OVER THE USA UNDER TRUMP SMH !!! TRUMP IS WORRIED ABOUT THE BORDER OF MEXICO BUT NOT RUSSIA AND CHINA SMH !!! THEN NOBODY IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE BORDERS AROUND THE BOTH OCEANS Pacific and Atlantic AND NOT ENOUGH SECURITY TO PATROL in the GULF OF MEXICO !!! SMH !!!
WHY DID TRUMP ALLOW ALL OF THIS TO HAPPEN AND THAT WAS LAST TIME CANT IMAGINE WHAT HE'S GOING TO ALLOW THIS TIME !!! IM AN INDEPENDENT NOT ANY PARTY I OBSERVED ALL OF THIS UNDER TRUMP last time !!!

Chris your apology on getting the LGTB+ name wrong is part of the problem for the Dems.
The left think they are allowed to call half the country bigots but the other half is not allowed to use the wrong acronym. This intolerance is what got them to lose support.
lol
So true
@victor You've completely missed his point and don't seem to be listening closely.
I think so too
No, there are worse problems with that party.
I’m a center left guy who votes Democratic. I’m also second gen Filipino American, and I really dislike the way Democrats oversimplify and assume that minorities like me are always behind whatever the Democrats feel obligated to support. Filipino Americans (like Mexican Americans and many other Latino groups) are overwhelmingly Catholic, have incredibly strong family and community values, and are completely overrepresented in the military, among other features. So many people in my community loathe Trump but many others have fallen out with the Democrats because of what we perceive as a demonization of so many of the things we value. The Democrats’ messaging and policy needs to change and stop treating minorities like children who should be told what to think.
What do you think Trump's going to do for you and your family? All I know, you better have your papers ready in case he goes through with his deportation project.
@@rain73ful😂😂😂😂😂😂their you goes again. Your comments are the reason why trump won

I always see the hate in the comments, but the truth is that you are 100% correct. As a former Democrat turned Independent this is exactly why most people voted for Trump. Until the Democrats figure this out the hate in the comments will continue. Half the US is in a state of panic jumping to conclusions when nothing has even happened, all because they've been trained to be scared by their own party and don't see it yet. FYI im a gay man, if you can't define a woman, we have issues.

@@jjgreek1 Who you
It is interesting to me how blind many Democrats are as to why they lost. The same issue that caused them to lose is the same reason they can't comprehend why they lost.
😂😂😂😂😂
Forget about stats and charts and graphs and polls. Here is why Kamala lost. (And I voted for her). She lost for 3 reasons. She’s a woman of color. She’s married to a Jew (which is distasteful to this very racist antisemetic nation) and finally, fox f-ing news. Fox News is the trump propaganda channel. They delivered trump on a silver platter by lying and spewing vile rhetoric on a daily basis and the magas ate it up and repeated it. Those are the three reasons. Her color, her husband and Fox News. *also she had a very short time to campaign and focused too much on trans issues. That’s also very distasteful for magas.
Nope, is not blindness, is just a huuuge amount of maga imbecility, hypocrisy and lack of attention. Guess what, all these have costs and the invoice is being written 😅😅😅
They obviously have a learning disability. They still haven't figured out what happened in 2016. They still cling to the same thing now. The definition of insanity is doing things the same way repeatedly and expecting different results 😢
@ so the election was Rigged in 2016: but this election wasn’t Rigged because he won, correct? Just trying to get that right. 🤔. And he won, because this is a racist, antisemitic country. This country doesn’t want a woman, a woman of color or a woman married to a Jew. It’s that disgusting and it’s that simple.
The race was not tight at all. Trump won 32 states out of 50. KamalaHarris won 18 states. Trump won all the 7 swing states , the electoral college, the popular vote, the Senate & the House. 😂😂😂😂
Not for long.
It was tight in that his margins for winning weren't blowouts in swing states. For example, he won Wisconsin by less than 30k votes.
@@fmtalks1386 The electoral college is specifically designed to give a definitive result. So yes from popular vote it was indeed close. But in the electoral college it was a blow out. The system worked as designed.
In addition the electoral college weights winning states more than total votes. Again as designed Trump won 32 states.
Kamala got close on the popular vote mainly because of California gave her a 3.2 million advantage.
Clinton twice, Bush and Trump once won without a majority in popular vote. Trump won both. A monumental achievement given what the Dems did to try to stop him.
Nothing short of a historically big win and comeback. The Donald is a winner and it’s impostor deny!
I think like was once said, the best way to get the democrats to change is to not vote for them
Good luck lol
Well that happened so we will see if there is a change.
Chris. What no one really understands yet, is that this election has now given permission for Hispanics and African Americans to vote for republicans . If the the ground level economics for working families improves over the next 4 years, then this will result in structural changes in politics
Big 'if'.
And there is your problem what a racist statement you have given the minority that we’ve had under our thumb with all kinds of bull hockey permission to vote for another party. Listen to yourself.

I think the single thing that surprised America is the lack of ethics that prevails in elected officials and the significant amount of misinformation. Those we elect no longer have an attitude of service to those who pay their salaries.
You are absolutely correct!
Ethics like thousands of journalists who are supposed to serve as the 'forth estate' instead choosing to LIE for years to help their preferred party cover up that the president of the United States could barely function mentally?
Ethics like then lying and gaslighting over and over for months when caught red-handed at the debate, telling viewers that he was perfectly spry and fit and to stop believing their lying eyes?
Ethics like then turning on the guy, forcing him out against his will, and not even admitting the lies and bullshit before hand and instead, again gaslighting the public that Biden was a noble man who heroically decided to move aside for the good of the country? Like we hadn't just watched the intrigue that just happened?
Ethics like then denying the democratic process and simply appointing his VP so she could have the pile of donation money? Then having the AUDACITY to try to use Trumps age as an attack immediately after doing all of this?
Ethics like screaming that democracy is going to end, fascism is coming, rights are ending, and the sky is falling, if Trump gets elected? Knowing full well that he had already been nearly killed once. It then leads to a second attempt where the perpetrator DIRECTLY quoted some of this hyperbole as reasoning for it, but Democrats not only keep up with the rhetoric, but make it even more unhinged?
Wasting donation money on celebrities? Journalists and Democrats instantly dropping the Hitler stuff the very day after the election, showing they meant NONE of it, and just shrugging it off like its no big deal?
To even suggest that you people have the moral high-ground shows just what arrogant, self-righteous, insufferable people Democrats truly can be.

I wish you, your mum, your brother especially (great man too), your wife and kids and your sisters well. God bless you
Wurd, and well-said.
@@dapoolatunji8302 Just to point out simple facts. Trump was never charged with insurrection and neither was anyone. None Nada no one !
So calling it an insurrection is factually incorrect.
Awesome Video! Send this video to the next Democratic Leader so we can take back the House and Senate in 2026.
You absolutely nailed it, Chris. Much appreciated from Springfield Illinois.
What we've learned is that throwing a random person infront of a crowd and telling them to "like this person please", casue she's wholesome, does not work, and never will work, for that matter. Humans dont work that way. She was missing in action for almost 4 years as the VP. No charisma what so ever. Awkward when talking or laughing. "Excuse me, excuse me, i'm talking ..." did not help either with the folks in Michigan. To my knowlegde, people in general dont like the law, or should i say, people that go around and tell everybody that "they are the law" so, they are always "right" and you are wrong. Looking down on people. It just leaves a bad impression, like a cop giving you a parking ticket with a big smile on his face. Her pants suit lawyer image didnt help either. Trump could have, like literally shot someone on 5th avenue, as an "Oktober surprise", and he would still have won.
So you prefer how Trump speaks to Americans? Degrades them, makes fun of them? Makes no sense at his rally’s? Do you actually pay attention to what he says?
I feel the same way Chris feels, I did not vote for Trump, and Idid not vote for Kamala Harris, I felt that the system is just going to fail the people and no matter who gets in the system is just going to go to hell, because everyone is only thinking of themslves.
Same here.
Thank you sooo much for speaking this!!! So so so many of us are in the middle and see exactly what you are talking about.
We don't need politicians to raise our children, to tell us what/how to worship, to give us pronouns and re-assign our gender, and to tell minorities they are not capable of achieving by their own merit. Americans have always cared about family, the freedom to worship, finances, education, health, public safety-all of which are under attack. How unfortunate that a political party would be so eager to destroy the foundation of our country. Millions of Americans finally had enough! God Bless America and the generations to come.
One solution both parties need to do that they aren’t doing is advocating for more vocational job year long training schools in every city like Pittsburgh, PA that has a place called the Bidwell Training Center.
The democrats hurt their movement when they took out Bernie Sanders. Bernie had good policies. Now the men who supported Bernie now support Trump. Kamala was unpopular. Im yet to meet a voter of hers who liked her for reasons other than emotional reasons
Bernie is a socialist, we can’t afford his policies!
People should have done their homework before the election.
Wooow…You’re the GOAT Chris💯💯💯💯
This is your best podcast ever Chris Cuomo. And it's not even close. You knocked it out of the park man. MUST-listen stuff. For everyone, but especially Progressives and Democrats
If “one is too many” as far as boys in girl’s sports (which I agree) The same argument has to be made that “one is too many” as far as women dying as a result the abortion bans in certain states. Our protection has been wiped away…
Women are dying from abortion attempts not bans.
As an independent. I agree with that.
And Trump has said over and over he will let it go to the states. Do we have a country wide abortion law? Did we not just have it on the ballot in many states? You don't just get to define what someones position is and insist over and over again that you are correct and anyone who doesn't believe you is stupid, which is what Democrats have consistently done on the abortion issue.
Abortion has been hotly debated around the world for a century, this is not just if they can or cannot happen, but when, what exceptions, in what situations, etc. The arrogance of just declaring it 'settled' and from now on my position is the correct one and anyone disagreeing hates women and wants them all dead, is not reasonable or useful.
This is the way Democrats have started to make every single position on every single topic. You either see it our way, or you are an X Y Z, and we will do everything we can to make your life hell, demonize you, belittle you, and otherwise behave like horrible people towards you. This isn't unethical or despicable behavior because we are righteous. You know we are because we just told you we are.
This is not sustainable
if you wanna fight for abortion, you can fight for it on the state level.
But first world women now finally have an actual issue to tackle and guess what men and boys aren’t responsible for fucking doing it for you.
Do you want respect for abortion and body autonomy? You might want to extend those things to men and boys otherwise I don’t see why they should have any reason to give a shit.
@@bortsimpson4536 But your party is pushing Trans Women into women Sports.
Also, we are split on abortion, but 85% don’t believe biological men in women’s sports is a good idea. That’s pretty definitive and the Dems just took one for Trans athletes. Bad politics for sure.
Besides thumbing your nose at science it’s just bad politics.
Like I frequently say, "I am as 'politically blue' as the sky on a clear day". I have a confession however: Many times when I listened to VP Harris, I was sincerely sadly embarrassed. "Word salad" is KIND..... my version: What is she BABBLING about!?!?!" just embarrassing (& ultimately unsuccessful). All of the circular statements to NOWHERE. Is this REALLY the best that our nation can produce??
And Kamala is the mascot for Obama.
Finally, someone in the media is saying it.🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ Eight years of them bitching about every little thing he says. I don’t care what he says. What is he doing and more specifically what impact will that have on my life and my ability to survive.
Chris Cuomo, 🎯 once again. Grateful for your nuanced, thoughtful analysis. You nail it, as always: there are no easy answers.
Thank you for your insight. It's greatly appreciated.
God bless you and your family for all you've done.
Yes indeed.
The January 6th insurrection will forever change my view about the Republican Party and how I view Trump. As President he showed me that his wealthy ego and selfish behavior toward his role as President and remarks he made about Vice President Pence are unforgivable. He lacks respect and I don't trust him. I don't care if he has the best policies. His character is disgraceful
It will forever change the views of republicans too.
Dumocrats are disgraceful!
He has dreadful policies. Horrendous.
This is just such a joke. Do you think the country forgot that for the entire summer, riots were happening all over the country, police stations set on fire, businesses destroyed, an ENTIRE CAPITAL HILL BLOCK taken over for a month and declared a independent zone of chop/chaz?
The only difference is that there is only one major right-wing network, so they couldn't run hysteria filled propaganda 24/7 saying _"DEMOCRATS HAVE SEIZED A CITY AND ATTEMPTED TO SECEDE FROM THE UNION RIGHT ON CAPITAL HILL! We will NEVER forget where we were on 7/1!"_ and have it hit every news station night after night and base hearings around it for a year.
But then you have the nerve to clutch pearls about some lethargic Trump supporters, mostly elderly, pushing their way into the capital building and vandalizing for what, 3 hours? After 3 months of chaos across the country from Democrats?
Enough of the selective outrage and gaslighting.
@@sandrabentley8111 which policies are horrendous?
I'm fine with policy differences. Everyone has different priorities. I get that. The thing that makes me angry is how many people are ok with supporting a criminal. Someone who is so clearly a conman that its painful to watch people fall for it. We all watched as he publicly tried to seize power through illegal means. I will NEVER forget that betrayal.
Yes, how was Biden every elected?
I'm with you 🙏🏿
As a black man ,trump main goal is to deport Latinos for what ,cause there taking black jobs, stop confusing us whether we want to work or not, they are not taking are jobs there taking trump people jobs he's tryna put blacks against Latinos that's not going to work, if we wanted those jobs we would have applied.
@@secretweapon7764 people discounted his conviction because it was obvious that it was the left using the legal system to destroy their political enemy.
It failed because is was to obvious and only served to increase his political power.
If it wasn’t for the lawfare he probably could not have won.
You see him as a criminal. We see him as innocent ,persecuted by haters who falsify charges against him!
100% spot on!
One thing I learned when working in an inner city school was the strong prejudice between Latino and black people. I was surprised at the widespread, strong prejudice between the two races.
Even amongst Latinos from different South American countries and different sections of Mexico.
@@Hoe-Lee-Chit 😟
@@tloof2370 according to DEI and CRT non whites cannot be races by definition.
I guess that’s one of many reasons I voted for Trump
As an Independent, I think the Democratic Party needs to spend time and money dispelling the GOP myths. (Like, they are good for the economy.) Forget highlighting a person, highlight the power accomplishments of the party.
Trump's tariffs will cause inflation to soar. The economy will drop. With the lowering of tax rates for the wealthy and large corporations, the national debt will grow just as it did during Trump's last term in office.
LIE LIE LIE
And stop calling half the country "deplorable, garbage, racists, bigots, uneducated" etc etc. The country as a whole, and probably 95% of the people, are much less hateful and evil than the Democrats and legacy media would have you believe. They actually all get along quite well until politics aren't brought into it and people lose their shit over other people viewing things differently
@@rachelhughes8951 I think Democrats could be good for economy but, they seem to be opposed to businesses and workers. Only advocate for the homeless and the illegals.

What values? Seems they have none.
Exactly, those that got fooled n voted trump good for them, why Chris didn't say all the nice things he's saying about Biden fixing trump messed up economy n how trump inherited Obama economy he's flip flopping now during the champing he wasn't playing fair he was more republican
@@fadedglory1045 I’m neither a Dem or Republican… you cannot act like Republicans, based on this election alone, stood on any values.
As a Christian Independent, Republicans so called Christians touted Trump as a messiah type figure. Concerned with transgender surgery and men in women’s restrooms claiming to be for women while making excuses or just looking the other way when it comes everyone who has a history of SA or s3x with minors… unless they’re trans.
Concern with ab0rtion but ok with a man being sentenced to 6 months for poisoning his wife to cause the pregnancy to end.
One of the main problems is that, fringe left liberals think they DEFINE what Dems believe in.
This is the most brutally honest and yet the most accurate analysis I have heard.
Kamala did NOT run on cultural issues...at all. The problem is her campaign didn't fight back hard enough against the trump campaign defining her in that way. She rolled out so many economic policies that could have helped people but the media focused on trump's attacks on her and those trans ads were effective. Kamala never once spoke about that issue except for in an interview to say that she would follow the law and the law was the same under trump's admin. That's it, but because those ads ran to very targeted groups, it worked to depress her vote. I knew people that were excited about her in the beginning and supported her policies but were looking at other candidates like Cornell West because they were worried that she was going to push a trans ageneda. I tried to debunk the misrepresentations in those ads to people I knew but they were far reaching. Plus there was a coordinated effort by black men influencers (probably paid) in the finance space to encourage their followers not to vote and that made a difference as well. Plus we were in a global space where all incumbent parties lost due to post-pandemic inflation. There were just huge headwinds that she had to deal with.
She never really answered a question.
She was a robot. She clearly didn't want to talk to people unless it was scripted or heavily edited afterwards. And I heard a bunch of her policies, it seemed like a lot of "give people more money" which sounds like "raise inflation more and raise taxes". The system needs to change. Democrats can't just continue running on giving out more "free" money. It all needs to be reworked entirely.
She did not want to do a podcast..... A conversation type, not those kinds that push.
The one with one of the most reach in audience, stretched his hand to her, and was turned down....
@@te3616 she didn’t run on cultural issues but, she was defined by them. Since she refused to answer any questions her opponent defined her.
The trans commercial by Trump was devastating. She could not back away from it because she was the commercial.
If in one campaign you say it, expect it to ultimately boomerang back to you,
People realize she’s a far left loon , she only went more center to get votes , that’s not how she would govern!
I am so glad Chris that you are talking about this issue. Dems vs. Reps (old news) Learn the lessons we need to learn to move on and be better! Thank you ❤
I agree Chris, there is too much divisiveness. I hope things change because we cannot go on as a nation with one party hating the other. It’s been so frustrating this election season. I hope we can find common ground.
I would like us to focus on our entire election process which is way too lengthy and confusing. We should do like the United Kingdom where it’s a matter of months and public service announcements in lieu of big money donations and year long campaign process. To this end we need to focus on overturning Citizens United, and get rid of the electoral college which weighs too heavily on individual states and not on one vote per person.
Thank you so much for your contribution to sanity
We can't get rid of it. We are not a democracy. We are a republic. The founding fathers did not want a democracy because they didn't want the 50.1 always telling the 49.9 want to do.
Uk process isn’t much better. They have turmoil as well.
As a black woman, Kamala Harris embarrassed me for her lack of seriousness, firmness and conviction. Her speeches were empty and said absolutely nothing, the only thing she did was laugh exaggeratedly and say meaningless words. As a Democratic voter that I am, I voted for Trump, I would NEVER have been able to vote for Kamala, a VERY BAD CANDIDATE who would never have won the primaries..........Terrible defeat for the Democrats
Seriously, party you are talking about fixing the democratic party. The only party needing fixing is the Republican party
Says the people that collected a BIG L on November 5!
News Flash - The Republicans won! Maybe you didn’t notice
That's the attitude that's causing the left to lose to the most hated man in America 😂
@curticusmaximus nope, the vast majority of democrats voted to save democracy, too keep the economy growing so every American could thrive. The people who refused to use any educated informed decision making not only in their best interest but for everyone. They voted a man who has had filled bankruptcy 6 times, convicted of 34 felonies, convicted of sexually abusing women. Trump and his administration will prove to them how wrong they were. Our only problem was not realizing just how unintelligent so many Americans are
@@brendalyle7371 I like that attitude, having that attitude we will continue to Make America Great Again!
Great analysis and advice! Thank goodness I found Chris Cuomo and News Nation!
8:00 Trump is the best salesman in the world not Zelensky. Majority of voters for Don didn’t research, cross reference, or ✅fact him . This simple minded tribal group thinkers just buy into anything he says as truth without any hesitation he tricked and duped em😂
You’re suffering from exactly what Chris said, you’re blaming Trump voter for their vote. That’s condescending and counterproductive. Try to think it terms of how the left was perceived by Trump Voters. They are perceived as an over zealot cancel mob that doesn’t allow opposing positions. So anything you say they tune out and ignore you. Keep up the condescending attitude you’ll lose again
You mean like the Democrats duped the whole world into thinking that Biden wasn't going senile?

@@Alongebaby We all know you picked the Koolaid, unfortunately it was not the Koolaid offered by Jim Jones.
What hurt them is putting up the wrong candidate, not lowering outrageous prices for average Americans, open borders, and their far left nonsense.
If truly being a “Black” woman was Harris’ great disadvantage to win the presidency. I cannot embrace that assessment. The truth is she is not too “black” for it to have been a disadvantage. What I mean is she did not present herself as a woman steeped in the “black” culture. And she was very light skinned besides.
In today’s America, this was not the deal breaker. It was her level of incompetence and her inability to make her case to the American people.
As long as her race, gender or color becomes remains the excuse for her loss… the Dems will stay committed to “identity” politics and will lose over and over again.
JD Vance had to re-present himself and separate himself from a former stereotype and perception people had of him. He is successfully doing it through his competency and ability to address the issues that matter when he is being interviewed. No word “salads” but real comprehensive answers.
SO A SIX TIME BANKRUPT, CONVICTED TAX CHEAT AND FRAUDSTER IS MORE COMPETENT/QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT????
Cite examples of “incompetence” please ….
Listen please what we are doing is just playing a blame game as my son told me one concerning me and my wife .. Harris has done her best job she could have done as a sitting vice president and candidate..the truth is that we are in denial of the truth:our political system is corrupt and even manipulative as money was distributed around the swings Estate, millions dollars gambling we must understand that game
@@jamesfowler3200 Pleease.
Drumpf is the king of word salad and has the vocabulary of a slow 4th grade level.
Great podcast Chris.
The success of Donald Trump is not as much a failure of the Democratic Party as it is a failure of the judgment and character of the American electorate. Anyone who says different has not been paying attention. I vote for the party that will hurt the middle-class and the poor less and hurt the uber-wealthy more. If one possesses a working ethical compass and a scintilla of deductive reasoning unclouded by right-wingnut ideology, you would automatically vote Democrat, even with all of their flaws.
Says the left wing-nut 🙄
Makes perfect sense knowing that NO PARTY can please all the people! Grievance won out this time. I’m hoping for a total gut in the next four years, a race TO THE BOTTOM. Gut social security, cut Medicare, eliminate ACA, tax cuts and benefits to the rich and corporations… The sooner we get to the bottom, the sooner we can rebuild. 🙌
Time to enjoy the rewards. People came out in droves for President Trump. Lets get going! This country should be rocking from the affirmative that occurred.
No more complaining. No more excuses. The only thing we should be hearing and seeing is contentment by the majority because all reps are doing their jobs without obstruction. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WAY ANYMORE. LET THEM DO THEIR JOBS.
@annagolden Buyers' remorse dead ahead.
It’s a failure on both parties. There is no way a guy like Trump should be president again. The Republican Party allowed him and MAGA to take over. The Democrats failed by not getting behind anyone but Biden and Harris.
"Trump sucks but you suck." 🤣
What’s hurting them is trying to convince people with their agenda , and another thing is having unqualified people in the right place
Fix your Republican Party first.
No need for a Republican Party they’re vile
Oh they fixed the Republican Party alright--- fixed it to an anti-abortion, anti-Constitution, anti-American agenda they will never live down. Most voters know Republicans have been criminals since Nixon, they just were disappointed with Biden and voted as such.
Chris, I am one of the constant watchers of your podcasts and I agree with your perspective most of the time but in some respects I would beg to differ:
1. Cannot what trump says -words matter and his have the power to curb lives, destinies, fates. He is toxic and that is more than obvious.
2. Hatred and desire for retribution seem to fuel the vote. Any average sane mind would reject right from the get-go the constant lies, exaggerations, monstruos twisting of reality, but sanity is no longer a working hypothesis, what we're seeing has pathological names.
Now, I agree, that the lesson is harsh and many good answers could emerge from this election result. The next 4 years will not be kind to the today's winners.
Please receive my sincere congratulations for the way you have re-imagined yourself, you're worthy of all admiration one can feel.
Some one needs to investigate Trumps win and Elon asap ❤
LOL!! DELUSIONAL
Thank you, this was very good. 💜
I agree there should be more parties. I didn’t understand why Liz Chaney and Republicans that left didn’t start their own party.
It is easier to say than to do. The other two parties do not want a viable third party option and won't let one happen.
An old Conservative Republican branch would be too small to be viable. It's possible it could merge with moderate Democrats into some kind of Corporatist party but it would probably just fizzle out. Any leftist opposition to MAGA that stands a chance will also need to be populist.
That's not the answer
Many Politicians are RICH and have a better Future for themselves and their family members. Please, you guys should leave this BLAMING GAME ALONE. And Move on.

Good morning to Chris & Team 🇫🇷🇺🇸
Been enjoying your content so much since you parted ways with CNN.
Chris as we all know many of our ancestors from Europe left their countries back then was because of religious freedom.
Ranked choice voting primaries would be SUCH A WIN 🏆
They are a scam. People are so so uninformed.
I agree with 90% of your analysis. However, when you say not to pay attention to Trump and what he says but what he does, I believe you're engaging in wishful thinking, partly because a large part of the country is engaged in a personality cult and willing to bend the basic rules of democracy to please him, and partly because his behavior and rhetoric are outrageous. It's outrageous that his son is posting about policy and writing that "the pocket money for Zelensky is about to run out," as if America were a monarchy and he was the prince and heir to the throne.
Also, when you say to wait and see how Matt Gaetz would govern, it dismisses the purpose of the vetting process.
Finally, I like listening to you because you have become a voice of reason in the chaos, but you, too, almost completely ignore the Middle East issue. Harris hemorrhaged Muslim and non-Muslim votes because of Palestine. That's the one topic where I don't see you trying to be balanced, and we need balanced voices coming from America.
Truck Driver, I just went to the Walmart in Chantilly, VA miles away from the Whitehouse, didnt feel like America, so many Forigners !
Hi Chris. Thank you for what you do. Can you find out what happened to the people who voted for Biden but did not vote for Harris?
The Democrats let the Republicans tell their narrative and the story told is a choose your own adventure
Thanks for this. I especially agree about rank choice voting. That would make things so much better for our system. I wish more people saw the benefits of that.
Phenomenal segment. I hope a million people see this through and through
I million people don't listen to Fredo, thankfully the population is not that stupid.
People lie to exit pollsters and we really have no clue which group voted for who. Any analysis of those numbers is guesswork at best and wishful thinking at worst.
In your discussion, you shared many thoughts with sincerity, which was quite refreshing.
Your straightforwardness lies in the middle ground, similar to where many conservatives stand. None of us here are extreme in our views; we find ourselves in a moderate position. I am willing to allow Trump his four years and criticize him if he veers too much to the right. At present, his policies starkly contrast those of Biden. It's worth noting the notion that "Scranton Joe Got Hijacked" by an unknown, possibly shady left progressive group. Although this wasn't explicitly mentioned, it is a point worth considering. During his term, the White House was not truly under Joe's control. Initially as a Senator, he held a centrist, possibly at times slightly right-leaning position, only to transition into a far left stance later as President (he was the top 3 worst the US has had). I value your insights, and while I'll support Trump loudly if he significantly benefits America, I'll also critique him if necessary. Your appearances on Newsnation, particularly when presenting differing perspectives on panels, provide a well-rounded view of your stance. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I think there was one thing that you forgot and we cannot avoid this- Americans are not idiots and if you choose to go on TV and never answer one question (or gaslight Americans)- you are guaranteed to lose. and rightfully so……
I'd like to address a couple of points Chris made.
First - I'm Australian, living in Australia. So I'm an outsider. But our parliamentary system borrowed heavily from yours. We're a federated parliamentary democracy - that is to say a bunch of colonies of Great Britain that left home - in 1901. Yes, our Head of State is King Charles, who appoints someone to represent him at both state and federal levels; however the person appointed to the role is chosen by the First Minister - that is to say the state Premier or national Prime Minister.
1) The 2 party system. Chris - if you're so upset by that system (& it seems many are like you) then find somebody to talk about it with on the program. Present ways to open up your system.
From what I see from the outside - you DO have alternate parties currently. The Greens for the left - who ran a POTUS candidate (Jill Stein) in the recent election. The Libertarians on the right - who chose NOT to run a POTUS candidate this year. Over here (& NZ, Canada & Western Europe) The Greens tend to be in the House (and/or Senate). That's because under our systems the governing party is the one that got the majority in the House - which The Greens will NEVER DO - ANYWHERE. So how do you get the minor parties into the House & Senate?
You keep talking about how much you hate the 2 party system. How's bout putting your money where your mouth is - find a political science academic, or interview Greens & Libertarians to open up a conversation?
2) Not voting. Right now you're actually part of the problem you despise. Why? The focus on the Presidential race and the College. Nobody cares if you don't vote OR vote 3rd party because of the way the states structure the College - "The Winner Takes It All" in 48 states. And there's only 2 candidates that matter - the Democrat & the Republican. 3rd party & Independents don't matter..
So - here you've got 2 choices. 1) Constitutional reform to REMOVE references to the College. Yep, I know, I just committed heresy. So 2) Something like the National Popular Vote Compact - but to get there you need enough states to 1) total the 270 needed to win the College to 2) sign up.
3) Trans athletes. Especially m2f ones. The whole controversy stemmed from ONE such person, who was a swimmer. In case no one saw this there were photos of them as a male. Their height was 6'9" & they had a solid build. Why is NOBODY talking about this person being unfair competition in the male swimming competition. Because with that height and build - they were. Ok?
@bethdumont9020. Thank you💯‼️ Thank you very much🤗. You see from Australia what many choose not to see here. Chris is playing in our faces as unbiased, but he is anything but. His intellectual musings about a third party or not voting are empty. There is no chance of success any time soon. It’s all talk with no purpose.
@beewoke so how do you progress from talk with no purpose to action?
You want reform, you gotta demand reform. But here's another problem.
Not everybody out there is political. In Australia recent research compared the member base of our big 2 - Australian Labor Party (Democrat in the US) & Liberal Party (Republican in the US, don't let the name fool you) with the member base of AFL clubs. Australian Football League is the junior of our 2 football codes, the other being the National Rugby League. NRL - huge in 2 states (Qld & NSW) with a team in Vic & a team in NZ. AFL - huge in 1 state (Vic) with teams in QLD (2), NSW, SA & WA (1/state) & ALL those non-Vic teams were Vic teams that hadda move because of the size of the market in Vic made things uneconomical.
EIGHT AFL clubs had bigger member bases than either political party. TWO AFL clubs had bigger member bases than BOTH parties COMBINED. Over here voting's compulsory & has been since 1924. This means we have high voter turnout levels as a percentage of the voting eligible popn. Once invalid votes are corrected for our AVERAGE EFFECTIVE VOTER PARTICIPATION RATE IS 85%. The US AVERAGE VOTER TURNOUT RATE IS 55%.
I wish I had the answers on how to motivate others to care, but I don't.
First and foremost, campaign finance reform is needed. Corporations and big money donors control the political agenda which is why third parties are at a major disadvantage to the point where I think it will be yearrrrrs before they will be viable. Dems will need to identify core principles with key groups around which specific policies emerge. Party leadership did not serve them well.
A major problem with their campaign was their failure to provide consistent, concrete messaging about their record and how that would be different going forward. There needed to be dialogue with third parties and key communities to ensure representation and that key concerns were generally incorporated.
The “abortion issue” would have been better framed more broadly as women’s reproductive freedom. It will likely be an issue in the next election. Most importantly, the economy should be given prime consideration always. Voters rights must be protected. And, though I anticipate major setbacks during this next administration, social justice initiatives will be needed to readdress inequities in the distribution of government resources. And, there must be a strong environmental agenda.
Dems had major accomplishments relative to the economy, prescription drug costs, healthcare access, child poverty, crime,etc., policies which unquestionably helped to strengthen the middle class from the middle out and the bottom up. Inflation obscured that growth. The U.S. economy was considered the best in the world while Trump wailed about the failed economy. Economists argued that his economic plan would increase consumer costs, cause inflation to increase and result in recession. Many seemed not to hear the warning. Rather, they repeated tropes about the failed economy.
One analyst described Trump as an “asymmetrical actor in a conventional game.” Indeed, he was. He lied relentlessly, falsely taking credit or denying Dem successes altogether. He questioned why they hadn’t accomplished certain issues when he’d had 4 years and not addressed some of those same problems. He claimed he kept promises made when he obviously did not. He was going to “fix the border” and Mexico was going to pay. False on both counts. An evaluation of promises made versus those kept revealed he actually kept only 24 percent. He gave tax cuts to the rich and increased the national debt by half. Yet, many chose to believe his falsehoods.
This brings me to something that many pundits, including Chris, refuse to admit. Trump has been a divisive figure for more than two decades. His rhetoric has been hateful, racist, misogynistic, xenophobic and lacking in civility and empathy. Some of his comments about Harris can only be described as vulgar and vicious. To be candid, a man would have faired better. Trump ran a campaign of white male grievance with a goal of advancing white economic and political dominance as outlined in Project 2025. Though he lied that he had nothing to do with it, that document should have given Americans major pause. Clearly, it was aimed at elevating him to a position of unchecked power with no accountability. He openly talked about militarizing the police and immunizing them from prosecution for what seemed like a purge.
I think many will lose their livelihoods and some will lose their lives as a result of Trump policies. In the next election cycle, unity must be encouraged by trying to bridge major concerns of disparate groups relative to individual freedoms, our environment and our country. We will also likely need to address U.S. isolationism under Trump.
@beewoke yes AND no to finance reform. Do you need it? Yes, absolutely. The key is in the path from here to there.
We had a federal election in 2022 and won by the ALP (Democrats in the US). (Over here, the party that wins the most seats - minimum of 76 needed - in the House is who forms the government. We separate the roles of Head of State (King Charles or his representative) & Head of Government (Prime Minister & state Premiers)). The ALP replaced the Liberals (Republicans in the US) as the government.
The Liberals were decimated. Literally. The biggest block was a group of Independents known as the Teal Independents. They all up took about 10 seats from the Liberal party and ran on 2 key issues - climate change and the need for a federal anti-corruption commission. They ran community based campaigns at the local level. It is doable.
Speaking as an outsider - way I see it, you place far too much emphasis on the Presidential race. If you want change, you gotta start at the local level. And state level because your federal election is run by the states. Over here - the federal election is run by the federal government thru the Australian Electoral Commission or AEC. Each state has its own electoral commission that is responsible for the election in that state as well as local government elections. Place some emphasis on the down ballot races for the House and Senate because a minor party or an Independent WILL NEVER GET ENOUGH VOTES FOR POTUS. Perot came the closest in 1992, getting only 19% of the popular vote. The only reason Perot ran to begin with was because Perot dared folk to get out and get him on the ballot to begin with - just watched something on that.
While folk don't hold their elected officials accountable by voting for an alternative, nothing will change. The big 2 don't care whether or not you vote - voting Independent or 3rd party for POTUS is like peeing in dark trousers - gives you a warm feeling but nobody notices - or cares for that matter.
To get change, you gotta get Independents & 3rd party's into the system somehow. The best way to do so is to get em into the House or Senate. To do that, well - people gotta vote for em & right now - they don't.
@@bethdumont9020 Short answer. Discuss with purpose, with the goal of seeking answers, of actually improving the system to better serve citizens. What are major issues with the 2 party system? How do you avoid adding a 3rd party with similar challenges or flaws as the other 2? What do 3rd parties have in common with the 2 major parties? How would they differ? Convene conferences and round tables of scholars, activists, party representatives and citizens to discuss key issues. What steps should be involved in establishing a viable 3rd party with a necessarily long term vision? I don’t think current discussions are strategic. In fact, sometimes they seem manipulative. Curiously, 3rd party candidates of the Green Party, Libertarians, Natural Law, Independents, etc. seem to magically emerge every 4 years.
We’re at an obvious crossroads as a country. The most pressing, potentially consequential, step right now in my view would be to unite behind an organized plan for campaign finance reform. We’re literally at a point where big corporations and the rich drive the agenda. This would be a major impediment to 3rd party success.
Honduran here. Thats correct. We are in general, culturally conservative.
Right now there's no other choice but to wait, sometimes waiting makes it too late and sometimes not waiting, you miss out on what could have been
I actually agree with this. Its the Working Class/Essential Workers movement that matters and not Trump who simply gave what was already happening Visibility. We don't want to be told: what to think, how to think,what to wear, and so on. We don't value Academics,we value Makers and Creators, "thinking, or intellectualizing," is seen as not being grounded in commonsense reality but fantasy.
You are right about what they say on cultural issues. I reprimanded a few left leaning TH-camrs for just that issue. If the left was all about leaving people alone to choose who or what they love, they had to stop with the Vance/couch gossip. If they do not hurt someone else, do not condemn anyone for who or what they choose to love or enjoy sex with. 💜
I have a few thoughts on this. First, you are correct about Latins. I spoke with Latino contractors, blue collar workers, service workers, white collar workers, etc., they do not consider themselves as a monolith, but as separate groups of individual identities. You are further right that the Latins I spoke with tend to be conservative, were born here or were legal immigrants and considered "pocketbook" issues to be of paramount importance.
Second, in 2016 I read that white men's economic power, as a demographic and as a percentage of the economy, peaked in 1969 and has been eroding ever since. The same study found that black men's economic power, as a demographic and as a percentage of the economy, peaked in 1983 and has been eroding ever since. Despite the fact that both white and black men's economic situation may have improved since 1969 and 1983 respectively, their influence in the economy as groups have been slipping for 55 years for white men and 41 years for black men. Assuming the results of this study to be accurate, it is no surprise that white and black men feel they were better off when Trump was President. The same may be true of Latin men. Most men view themselves as "providers" even if they are not the highest earner in the family. It should be no surprise if men in general felt they were better off when Trump was President.
Third, I think too many people "go nuclear" when they disagree with someone. The result often is when a disagreement arises, someone has to try to cancel the other. Not every disagreement, every insult, every slight, justifies the veritable "death penalty" of cancelation. Look at the case of Annie Dunleavy, a CT special ed teacher who posted to her private Instagram account, a rant against Trump supporters. One of the Instagram viewers posted it publicly. The reaction was nearly instantaneous: she was suspended from her job, she ultimately resigned and will be hard pressed to find another teaching job. Anywhere, anytime soon. Like millions of people, she was upset at the election results. She made a mistake, a poor decision, and has been canceled for it.
We all have to get back to the times when we could disagree with someone without being disagreeable. We have to accept that we all have the right to our own opinions on issues both big and small. That means the people who disagree with us have the right to disagree. We as a society must learn
Great words! Thank you for speaking them.
Chris, the current Democrat Party is not the same Democrat Party that your father served in. Stop apologizing to them, stop helping them, stop explaining to them what they did wrong. They won't listen anyway. Just let the whole thing takes its course. Some will survive and some won't. And when the party is at rock bottom (which believe it or not, I don't think they've hit yet, but getting close!) they will figure it out.
You hit the nail on the head
For the first time I agree with more than 50 percent of what cuamo said
I Wonder how he would be talking is **VP** Harris had won🤔🤔🤔🤔
Americans swing back and forth because they expect someone else to fix our problems.
I have been preaching this! THANK YOU! Im getting so much HATE for this!!
KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF... "MIND YOUR BUSINESS" DEMOCRAT LOST, AND SO WHAT? Nobody Die.
Huh ?
Clarity! Wow, refreshing for a change ! Thanks Chris, you honor your father !
The two party system is far better than a multi-party system which is what many European countries have. The reason is, with a two party system, there is a clear majority but with a mulit-party system there is not. In a multi-party system nothing ever gets accomplished because it guarantees that a sizable minority will always win and that means that a majority of the voters will lose. If you have 3 major parties, that means 1/3 of voters win and 2/3 of voters lose such as 34% vote yes, 33% vote no and another 33% vote no. The 34% win and 66% lose. Not a good system. That is why nothing ever gets done in most European countries.
Eh. I'd argue that probably 60-70% percent of the people who vote in most elections don't actually like the person they're voting for, they're doing the "lesser of two evils" thing. What really needs to happen, is allow a " second pick" that would allow people to vote for who they really want, but if that person has no shot once ballots are counted, then their second pick counts. That way its not "wasted".
Never enjoyed CC on CNN hence, rarely watched his broadcasts under that regime. Here on YT: seems like I tap into CC daily. As a right of center person who voted 45/47, I appreciate CC's attempt to be objective on this channel.
Over the last few weeks, you have come across as reasonable, open to new information, and able to communicate with those you oppose to try to find better answers for the country and the world.
Wouldn't it be lovely if the two parties actually stopped yelling past each other and interact in a way that finds better ways of fixing our problems? Keep doing what you seem to be doing now. Believe it -- you'll make a ton of money from folks who can advertise on your platform without worrying that you'll be calling their other potential customers as "garbage" or "fascists" or whatnot.
This is why I love oomo keeping it real.
