Sort of. The Democrats overestimated the intelligence of the American voter. Thinking that my felony Americans would know this economy came from Trump and that his anti immigrant rhetoric speech is a danger to all Americans.
His analysis the night of 2016 is also worth a watch if you can find it. He's probably been the most sober political figure in American politics of the past 60 years.

Frankly, the diplomacy in reaching across the aisle that Democrats have been attempting is the American way. They are not extremists. Apparently you have to be an a****** extremist, undiplomatic, uncompromising, unwilling to listen to anyone else who shares the outcomes of your policies. The Democrats literally did everything they could possibly do. Kamala and Tim were up against the most disgusting team of bastards to lead us since Andrew Jackson. Feeding children breakfast, having a clear economic vision for the future to support the Middle class, mending relationships with allies, having a plan for climate change and immigration, America is rejecting that. But only by a margin of 1 to 2%. Which means that half of us get to die because the other half of us refused to listen.
Which all the investment finance addicts continue to support. Stock trade money manipulation should be illegal. It's gambling. That's all it effing is.
@@olddoug8945 The Democrats have attempted campaign reform but Republicans and the SCOTUS have made this impossible. Literally impossible. You cannot play without corporate money. But of course simpletons like you blame both sides. You're just another poorly educated voter, and you helped to elect Trump. Can't believe I have to vote alongside dummies like you.
Trump was also backed by a record level of "corporate money". Heck, Elon Musk basically saved the Trump campaign from running out of funds. That is why Elon will be your next head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, which he will completely neuter.
I blame the Dems' support for the Gaza massacres. If the White House had forced Netanyahu to end it after a few months, I suspect they'd have won this election comfortably. But their unwillingness to do so meant that Trump could paint himself as the antiwar candidate. Several canvassers I've heard from have said that many people were convinced Trump would "stop the wars", and "Trump is the peace candidate" was an idea that had a lot of (unwarranted) currency.
And it would not have been the first time. In 1956 DC read the riot act to the Tripartate Agression against Egypt - Israel, France, and the UK, and the conflict stopped dead in its tracks. Whenever we give the Democratic Party power, they studiously avoid using it. Enough is enough.
@@amuseher💯 % Deaf this is the kind of rhetoric is the reason why democrats lost . They let the leftists hijack the democratic party. Weakened our military.
All Ralph said is to change what you say as a politician, not what direction to take the country. We have enough worthless political gasbags to fill a continent already. America wants a leader that will steer the country somewhere sustainable, not a talker willing to hand over money in exchange for votes. Ralph is officially out of touch!
So true! They think they can give a bit of lip service to issues that are vital to the working class, and people will believe they are a labor party. They are so wrong!
Talk is cheap. Taking action against a pathological liar that's tough. We need to rally round Kamala just like Republicans did with Trump and try again next year...
Frankly, my heart sank when I saw the election results. I reside in the Philippines, and it was still difficult to watch. However, this should be a wake up call for democrats. STOP PRETENDING TO BE THE PEOPLE'S PARTY, WHILE CONTINUING TO SERVE THE BILLIONAIRE CLASS, AND STOP SUPPORTING WARS AND PROMOTING DISCORD ACROSS THE PLANET. Trump announced in his victory speech that he would stop the wars. Maybe if Harris had said the same thing while running, she would have won. I have little doubt that her administration's support of the Israeli slaughter in Gaza made a big difference. On the other hand the illusion that Trump would be better on the economy was a persistent one. Ordinary folks are HURTING in America, financially. Of course the republicans will make it worse, but only marginally so. Personally, I wish there was a viable 3rd party not controlled by the moneyed class. America has a greater wealth disparity than any other developed nation. Finally, it's clear that the 'rule of law' is dead in the US when a convicted felon can run for and win the presidency. The message sent here to the rest of us is: "break any law you want to your advantage just like the wealthy do." Of all the things I've mentioned this might be worst and most dangerous precedent. Good luck to my fellow USAn's!
Democrats will do it again, they've done it in 4 elections? Maybe 5? It's how we got Nixon, Reagan, Bush Jr, Trump the first time, Biden got by far closer than it should have been, and then this time. Democrats are not progressives and don't have the interests of the working class.
it was a different campaign team, you are just repeating the incompetent Trump's excuse for why 40 of his 44 closest top employees wouldn't support him again.
The Democrats also made the massive mistake of confusing record donations from wealthy sources as support from the average American. These are two very different populations of Americans.
@@sagapoetic8990 Yep. You are not wrong about that! Big donations from wealthy people and support from average American worker and families are two entirely different things.

I don't know how more "accountable" Democrats can be held - they lost offices all over our country... The "mistake" was overestimating the intelligence and benevolence of the American voter. Just as Trump didn't "make" the booming economy he inherited when he took office, Biden didn't create the mess he has been fixing - but voters thought that was not really the case.
So why not most of the American people who didn't vote to protect the lives of their fellow citizens or their own Constitution? When will people start taking responsibility in this country for their own actions.
In early 2016, I got yelled at by a friend in public because I was voting for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primary. My friend blamed me for George W. Bush becoming president because I had voted for Ralph Nader. I lived in Texas in 2000. My vote would not have stopped George W. Bush from winning his home state of Texas. My then-friend yelled at me that I must vote for Hillary in 2016 because she could defeat Trump. Absurd. I knew the Democratic Party was bad then. It is worse now. I am done with the Democrats. They never change. They refuse to change.
I just have one question. When is the United States of America going to take responsibility for all of their combined Republican & Democratic crap for the last hundred or so years?
Gaza meant nothing to the mainstream voter because Trump never once voiced a different agenda. He will keep supplying weapons to Netanyahu, and not oppose the "ethnic cleansing" of Gaza.
Nader's ousting from the Democratic party was the beginning of the end of democracy for America. Having two right-wing parties was always going to screw us over.

@@Marco90731 neither party cares about working class Americans IMO. Liberal elites disdain them and Conservative elites use them to get elected. Neither party will do anything to improve the lives of working class Americans. I’d be happy to be proven wrong, however.
reminder to anyone passing through: "the middle class" is a mirage, a false category that only divides the working class into squabbling factions. If you work for a wage you're a worker and we're all in this together
I talk to many people as a counselor. What I heard over and over is that people were exhausted and hurting over the prices of groceries, gas, and other household needs. Also the cost of rents and little to no access to affordable housing was high on the list. Thirdly, immigration was a big concern. Despite the "statistics" of a solid economic recovery, people have and continue to personally struggle - so, damn the statistics. The Democrats failed to identify with most of the population on these concerns and have suffered a sound defeat. Harris tried to do it - but it was too little too late.
The problem is Americans are not educated enough to know that Trump inherited a great economy from Obama & the US is doing great after covid compared to the rest. Democrats leaders have ignored most of us to long
On the point of immigration, the Democrats have completely missed the point. There is another issue that never gets said. I am not against international students. However students from other countries get their US college tuitions paid for by their governments, China for example pays students to study here. Meanwhile most US citizens can’t afford college and are penalized if they do study here with massive debt loads which ruin their lives for decades. Many of these students come from abroad then they stay and find the professional jobs, they are often more likely to find them, and are willing to work for less. As far as low paid jobs, it’s true that much of the undocumented immigrants seek that. But they are also willing to work for much less. Native born citizens are squeezed out of opportunities. And many citizens no longer believe in supporting the military and don’t want that opportunity, so the US government gives immigrants a special path to citizenship by enlisting. I have been a teacher and have told my students to just learn German and go to school for free there. But the immigration policies are coupled with reducing all viable opportunities for US citizens.
Unfortunately, the Democratic party is just going to come to the conclusion that they need to be more racist. One thing you can bet on is the party moving to the right in spite of what the voters demand.
Probably won't even matter since real elections are probably dead in this country anyway. I fully expect some kind of "election integrity" initiative from Trump that basically boils down to Republicans completely controlling elections leading to their candidates winning all or almost all elections from now on.
@@someonenotnoone It's not if you are interested in anything other than the surface level optics. This election was about two main issues. American violence abroad, and a harsh and punishing economy for the working class. Harris tried to be the candidate of both labor and Wall Street. She never uttered an anti-war word and embraced the Cheneys. She supported an endless spigot of money to white nationalists in Ukraine while claiming there was no money to help hurricane victims. She ran Hillary Clinton's campaign, but even further to the right. Race had some impact, but it pales in comparison to the issues that most people care about. It is not rocket science, it's not an intangible feeling that America is just too racist and/or sexist. It was a poor campaign funded by billionaires and war hawks.
@@eetdarichmarx7423 no. It was the simple fact that Americans are not ready to elect a woman to be President. And Trump somehow convinced voters that all his followers donated his campaign finance, when it was Elon Musk that bailed out a nearly bankrupt campaign.

In addition to his accurate analysis. The Dems have a long history of ignoring the rampant racism, sexism, agism, and bigotry. One cannot back a team that click all those boxes and expect to win in swing states. I called the race when they, yet again, decided for us. They need to seriously start listening to the voters.
Sharp facts deluvered by the ever commited patriot of the EQUAL RIGHTS FOR THE PEOPLE AS OUR REPUBLIC. No one has ever loved our PROMISE of Bill of Rights more actively than Ralph Nations.
Nader’s eloquence, experience, and selflessly productive life speak for themselves, and his analysis of the deficiencies of Democratic strategy in this election is spot-on. But one crucial questions remains unanswered: what practical goals and strategies, going forward, should we be mapping at the grassroots level, in order to build a “more perfect Union”? Because, while we have been watching the Democrats seemingly decompensate before our eyes, we have been forced to watch the Republicans sink into a morass of graft and corruption since at 2016. We no longer even have one political party prepared to effectively govern. What now?
I had no idea Ralph Nadir was so brilliant. I was too young to vote when he was running for president but with these anti corporate points, I definitely would’ve voted for him.

Thats hard bobby
USA needs a 3rd party, fuck the elephant and donkey we need Columbia new political party.
Ralph summed it up nicely.
excellent analysis by Ralph. The Dems must be held accountable for these terrible mistakes that cost them the election.
I don't know how more "accountable" Democrats can be held - they lost offices all over our country... The "mistake" was overestimating the intelligence and benevolence of the American voter. Just as Trump didn't "make" the booming economy he inherited when he took office, Biden didn't create the mess he has been fixing - but voters thought that was not really the case.
Here I am. Take me away.
So why not most of the American people who didn't vote to protect the lives of their fellow citizens or their own Constitution? When will people start taking responsibility in this country for their own actions.
In early 2016, I got yelled at by a friend in public because I was voting for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primary. My friend blamed me for George W. Bush becoming president because I had voted for Ralph Nader. I lived in Texas in 2000. My vote would not have stopped George W. Bush from winning his home state of Texas. My then-friend yelled at me that I must vote for Hillary in 2016 because she could defeat Trump. Absurd. I knew the Democratic Party was bad then. It is worse now. I am done with the Democrats. They never change. They refuse to change.
I just have one question. When is the United States of America going to take responsibility for all of their combined Republican & Democratic crap for the last hundred or so years?
Underestimating the male vote was to me one of their biggest problems, this is gonna get bad real fast smh this is crazy
Nadar is 100% spot on!
Nader for President!
This is SPOT ON!!!😊
Facts nader
It's The Gazza Effect, māla Kamala; don't go too far to find the reasons of the defeat.
Bull's eye..in a way it's good. People still have humanity values
wdym lol...trump literally praise netanyahu *doing a great job at gaza* trump no better
You really think GA went red due to Gaza?
Don't be so naive.
Gaza meant nothing to the mainstream voter because Trump never once voiced a different agenda. He will keep supplying weapons to Netanyahu, and not oppose the "ethnic cleansing" of Gaza.
You think Trump cares about Gaza?
Thank you sir finally someone speaking the truth.
Nader's ousting from the Democratic party was the beginning of the end of democracy for America. Having two right-wing parties was always going to screw us over.
The real national treasure ❤
Thank you Mr. Nader 💜
That was the great Ralph Nader telling the truth.
Harris's campaign lost all of its energy when she decided to run as a neocon.
And what is a neocon according to you?
Anybody with desires for a more "lethal" military force, representing the strongest military to exist on earth, I'd say, is a neocon.
@gaylaaustin7468 A politician who believes in aggressive Western militarism, interventionism, and neo-colonialist foreign policy, particularly in the middle east, and uses "democracy" and "respect for human rights" as a fig leaf of cover for the death and misery they cause.
She got the Darth Vader endorsement but had no clone army of storm troopers to vote for her.
Never thought I'd be a single issue voter but I never thought (Gen oh side) would be an issue.
Both Parties talked incessantly about the Middle Class this and the Middle Class that , not an honorable mention of the Working Class People , do you blame them for not voting this time . Workers of America - General Strike and Boycott , you have nothing to lose but your Ball and Chain .
@@Marco90731 neither party cares about working class Americans IMO. Liberal elites disdain them and Conservative elites use them to get elected. Neither party will do anything to improve the lives of working class Americans. I’d be happy to be proven wrong, however.
reminder to anyone passing through: "the middle class" is a mirage, a false category that only divides the working class into squabbling factions. If you work for a wage you're a worker and we're all in this together
It is time for a new party.
I talk to many people as a counselor. What I heard over and over is that people were exhausted and hurting over the prices of groceries, gas, and other household needs. Also the cost of rents and little to no access to affordable housing was high on the list. Thirdly, immigration was a big concern. Despite the "statistics" of a solid economic recovery, people have and continue to personally struggle - so, damn the statistics. The Democrats failed to identify with most of the population on these concerns and have suffered a sound defeat. Harris tried to do it - but it was too little too late.
That sounds very familiar. Same in the UK.
The problem is Americans are not educated enough to know that Trump inherited a great economy from Obama & the US is doing great after covid compared to the rest. Democrats leaders have ignored most of us to long
On the point of immigration, the Democrats have completely missed the point.
There is another issue that never gets said. I am not against international students. However students from other countries get their US college tuitions paid for by their governments, China for example pays students to study here. Meanwhile most US citizens can’t afford college and are penalized if they do study here with massive debt loads which ruin their lives for decades.
Many of these students come from abroad then they stay and find the professional jobs, they are often more likely to find them, and are willing to work for less.
As far as low paid jobs, it’s true that much of the undocumented immigrants seek that. But they are also willing to work for much less.
Native born citizens are squeezed out of opportunities. And many citizens no longer believe in supporting the military and don’t want that opportunity, so the US government gives immigrants a special path to citizenship by enlisting.
I have been a teacher and have told my students to just learn German and go to school for free there.
But the immigration policies are coupled with reducing all viable opportunities for US citizens.
????????
@@paulabennett4788just like in the UK, the US is going to keep voting in people that make it worse. Both are failed/failing empires.
Nader, as usual, is right
He’s spot on
Unfortunately, the Democratic party is just going to come to the conclusion that they need to be more racist.
One thing you can bet on is the party moving to the right in spite of what the voters demand.
Democrats are already racist, look at their support of DEI discrimination.
Probably won't even matter since real elections are probably dead in this country anyway. I fully expect some kind of "election integrity" initiative from Trump that basically boils down to Republicans completely controlling elections leading to their candidates winning all or almost all elections from now on.
Racism isn't the distinguishing issue between a losing non-white woman and a winning non-white man.
@@someonenotnoone It's not if you are interested in anything other than the surface level optics. This election was about two main issues. American violence abroad, and a harsh and punishing economy for the working class. Harris tried to be the candidate of both labor and Wall Street. She never uttered an anti-war word and embraced the Cheneys. She supported an endless spigot of money to white nationalists in Ukraine while claiming there was no money to help hurricane victims. She ran Hillary Clinton's campaign, but even further to the right. Race had some impact, but it pales in comparison to the issues that most people care about. It is not rocket science, it's not an intangible feeling that America is just too racist and/or sexist. It was a poor campaign funded by billionaires and war hawks.
@@eetdarichmarx7423 no. It was the simple fact that Americans are not ready to elect a woman to be President. And Trump somehow convinced voters that all his followers donated his campaign finance, when it was Elon Musk that bailed out a nearly bankrupt campaign.
Damn right

excellent interview
thank you Amy and Democracy Now. I deleted all my other news channels & will just tune in to you over the next 4 years.
I think the corporate dems wanted to lose. Kicking out Bernie and then Biden.
Sure looks that way. Biden was not a real president. And Kamala was an even worse prospect
When you ran, I voted for you Ralph!
The sheople have spoken.
Animal Farm is a good read if you like political allegory.
It was such an insult for Harris to not visit EVERY state. That's one of the reasons I campaigned hard for Ralph - he did!
So completely agree
The problem allowing a Convict Insurrectionist on the ballot violates the Constitution you reap what you sow know respect for the OFFICE of PRESIDENCY you pay the price
Ralph Nader ...💯👍😉 Vance hungry like a Wolf in sheeps Clothing ...😊
To this day, I consider Ralph Nader to be the best person that I have ever voted for, for president.
Likewise
Ralph, and always Ralph
In addition to his accurate analysis. The Dems have a long history of ignoring the rampant racism, sexism, agism, and bigotry. One cannot back a team that click all those boxes and expect to win in swing states. I called the race when they, yet again, decided for us. They need to seriously start listening to the voters.
Neither party has any interest in listening to voters.
@ Truth😔
@@aaronhumphrey3514 Swing voters are in for serious buyer's remorse. Once again, they're going to remember why they didn't go Red the last time.
As usual ralph is right on the mark
Third Party Now.
.... Ralph Nader has always championed the cause of the "average worker" ........... Imagine that.
Sharp facts deluvered by the ever commited patriot of the EQUAL RIGHTS FOR THE PEOPLE AS OUR REPUBLIC.
No one has ever loved our PROMISE of Bill of Rights more actively than Ralph Nations.
REGRETTABLY THE CONFEDERACY HAS RETURNED 🤢😢
It never left. America allowed the Confederacy to thrive in its shadow. They were allowed their own history, education, and religion
It never left.
Never left. Don’t worry be happy.
You did't say that about the repudiate party DON'T SAY THAT ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OK😊
Lobby is ending democracy
A partir de ahora autocracia.
Nader’s eloquence, experience, and selflessly productive life speak for themselves, and his analysis of the deficiencies of Democratic strategy in this election is spot-on.
But one crucial questions remains unanswered: what practical goals and strategies, going forward, should we be mapping at the grassroots level, in order to build a “more perfect Union”? Because, while we have been watching the Democrats seemingly decompensate before our eyes, we have been forced to watch the Republicans sink into a morass of graft and corruption since at 2016. We no longer even have one political party prepared to effectively govern. What now?
Excellent analysis
They should blame no one except themselves not listening to the American people and siding with genocide.
Really, dont buy corporate crap. Vote for life by spending less!
Thank You Ralph Nader for laying down the law & truth.. DEMOCRATIC PARTY MUST LISTEN !
I had no idea Ralph Nadir was so brilliant. I was too young to vote when he was running for president but with these anti corporate points, I definitely would’ve voted for him.
Ralph is on point with the particulars, about the Democrat party. They use social issues instead of financial advantages for the country.
9:22 "Harris refused to campaign with Bernie Sanders"
Actually the roots of his win has been an ongoing process from four hundred years of religious and political hypocrisy without accountability in the land of the slaves, and the Home of the Hypocrites. ⌛
