Thank you Sarah. As a veteran, who joined because I believe in our country, I applaud you. I began life as a Democrat but quickly changed to an Independent. I felt having to vote for a party rather than the country violates my firm beliefs. I stand for the USA and our Constitution. I vote for the candidate who can "... preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
As a lifelong Democrat, that was one of the most helpful interviews for me to understand where rational Republicans are at right now. Thanks for that final question about what we can do to make Sarah Longwell's job easier. I think she hit that one out of the park with her answer - just let Kamala Harris do her thing.
Love that you had Sarah on. She is so delightful and insightful. All of us who are committed to maintaining a sane and functioning government are lucky to count her as an ally.
@@JR-pr8jbwell…she worked for the Berman company, which is firearms, alcohol, food, lobbying I believe… Capitalism at its finest, making money off of people’s weaknesses and the sources of much disease, and destruction. I’m glad that she’s anti-trump, but some stuff that she’s been involved in, is just a milder version of trump. While she seems smart, insightful, on some levels, it may behoove her to do a deeper personal inventory of values.

😮Why are we worrying about any of this stuff?! If Daffy Don was required to have a psychological evaluation as a prerequisite to being a member of the nuclear launch sequence team his candidacy would be over!😬All of those individuals are currently required to be evaluated EXCEPT the Commander-in-Chief!!! Hello? That is illegal and an existential threat. The Armed Services Committee must immediately meet next week to review the nuclear chain of command requirements and change revise them to include the POTUS😮
Sarah is wonderful. Clear, concise, and spirited. Let's work to make her job easier! So glad I listened to this while writing get out the vote postcards to Ohio. Thanks!
I am a lifelong Democrat, but like Sarah I told myself & my other crushed friends, that he wouldn't really be able to do much damage cuz majority of Republicans wouldn't allow him to do crazy shit. How I wish we had been right! Kudos to all ya'll clear thinking Republicans.
Yes! People were telling me "give him a chance, bla bla bla." And I said NO! Never. I will badmouth him every chance I get along with the traitors who support him. And I did. And I will continue to. Its not my 'friend's' job to censor me.
@@hardboiledmahoney3273 Yes I’m with you I have never ever made an excuse for Trump and I never ever will. He’s been a failure from the beginning and he will always be a failure
@@hardboiledmahoney3273Same! I grew up in NJ, 45 min from the Bridge and knew ALL about trump's vile nature and knew he could do real, significant damage. 🌊☮️🌊
@@hardboiledmahoney3273I can’t tell you how many times I heard that “Give him a chance” BS. You think they’d say that about their mechanic or their kids doctor. How people were willing to give a man who was a known con and failed business man a pass should never be forgotten.
I’m from the far left, but like to see voices from all spectrums. Sarah the way you communicate is amazing. Thank you for being a stand against Trump and supporting Harris.
Sarah and Marc, I was blown away by this wonderful conversation. I would LOVE to see more people taking advantage of your combined experience. Thank you so much for sitting down with each other and explaining to all of us what has happened, what is happening now, and what we can do to protect our Democracy. Love, love, love it.
WOW, I really loved this! Seeing the Republicans at the DNC made my heart sing. How amazing if Republicans and Dems could talk to each other and not spew so much hate.
From the convention podium: “If Republicans are being intellectually honest with ourselves our party is not civil or conservative. It’s chaotic and crazy and the only thing left to do is...dump Trump.” Geoff Duncan, Former Lt. Governor, Georgia, Republican
EXACTLY! America, the USA, is just one country. I'm fairly certain our geographical boundaries are set at this point. Therefore, as a nation, we MUST work diligently to preserve this union. 💙💯
Sarah Longwell and Marc Elias are true patriots of the first order. Americans owe them a huge debt of gratitude. Hit 'Like" if you agree to show them how we feel.
@@robertrich1216Marc Elias is an enemy of democracy, he has used every tactic imaginable for years to prevent third parties to be on the ballot over the country. He uses legal tactics to prevent the Green Party and others to get on the ballot and participate in debates. Elias is no defender of democracy!
A total failure to understand how political parties are really the problem here. Mark Elias fought against ranked Choice voting. The founding fathers warned against the problem we have now. Just search "founding fathers warning against political parties factions". Sarah and Marc have been thinking from a partisan lens their whole life so much that they do not have the ability to understand this. Independents make up about a third of the electorate and are more able to see this clearly. To make this work we would have to have public funding of elections and the media campaigns where the media are forced to give equal free access to political candidates. Only small dollar donations should be allowed, and anything over $100 should be taxed 100%. Endless gerrymandering and anti gerrymandering lawsuits is easy to end with all states having all representatives in at large districts, combined with rank Choice voting is far better than we have now. Districts are obsolete with modern travel and telecommunications.
Why does Sarah Longwell think her Republican activity was not always in support of low taxes for the rich, low regulation of business, and low rights for the masses?
@@PhilipMuench-w6c i notice that they seem to ignore their bad policies before trump and what preceded in creating trump and the MAGA movement. A huge part was hating and disrespecting President Obama. trump came into his role via the birther bullshit, which was in line with the Tea Party that republicans catered to. Everything was about the Constitution until trump wanted to get rid of it.
I have listened to Sarah for quite some time. She is extremely smart in the political field. I’m a Democrat and have always been a Democratic. However, Sarah has made me rethink my politics. I still believe that we need to help the unfortunate. Keep keeping me informed Sarah.
I'm a75year1Democrat,but I have so much respect for Liz Cheney and Adams Kissinger are two of my favorite people that are Republican, but still human. I thank both of these people for their courage and sacrifice.. I wish the the very best in future.
You are nuts. Liz Cheney is evil. She is for the de.s cause daddy mKes tons if.money with these was that Re going on. The OmpNy he heads is very involved by distributing equipment. Adam Kinzinget needs help. He cries all the time. When he was in Ongresx he z oildnt even talk he z ried so hard. He is mentally ill
I vote democrat because my government helped/stand behind me. Student loans, home loans,etc. I have my back for this Country and others that are in similar situations. We didn’t all grow up with a silver spoon and I’m for those in need that need help. Not those that take advantage of our system.
Really 😂 when did they stand behind us in 2008 during the housing collapse? Instead bailed out everyone responsible for the collapse. While families that were preyed upon were kicked to the streets. I loved how they stood with rail workers and sided with the big rail companies and forced Americans back to work that were exercising their union rights. I love how when coming to office in 2008 we were told day 1 they would codify Roe... And with their filibuster safe super majority walked away from that because as quoted we have more important things to handle.😂 I love how they stand behind us I mean just ask Flint, Michigan and Lahaina, Maui and East Palestine, Ohio how much our Democrats stand behind them as they attach their measle funding to bills sending billions to foreign wars. I love how they claim to behind us but are the ones calling for censorship to the tune of creating a govt agency to approve what's true and what's not.... Because that's never gone wrong I mean never in the history of this planet has the group trying to censor ever been on the correct side of history...😂😂 Ya they really are for us .... Your nickname should be HoodWinked.
Truth girl ...I love your spirit...wish more people were like you...am not American but I am in the fight with you...America is home to so many people across the world.continue the fight...you will win...
If you are talking about those who take advantage of the system who happen to be poor, I give them a pass cause are they are not any worse than those who have money and still take advantage of the system. They are the deplorables, and they are many.
Right on Sarah! You are very well spoken and easy to listen to. Lifelong Republican here who FINALLY saw the light in 2020! Listening and witnessing what Adam Kinzinger (and Liz Cheney) went thru, Marc Elias' spot on analysis sitting in with Brian Cohen, and people like you Sarah, ALL played a HUGE roll in waking my once complacent lame ass back up! Vote Blue America. Simply Vote Blue.
SO great to hear your story. And I am SO thankful that you chose to vote for democracy, for country over party. This is THE most important election of our lifetimes. 🙏🏼
Sarah Long well should be on the cover of Time mag as one of the most influential person this year with all her important work raising awareness of where voters & issues are at this point in history with her focus group work and publishing the Bullwark podcasts - appreciate her hard work & insights so much!
This is the best conversation I’ve seen Sarah have in explaining how the Republicans view republicans. She’s socially liberal but fiscally conservative. I watch the Bulwark daily and this was very helpful to me. Thank you Marc and Sarah great conversation!
This is fantastic!!! I learned so much. I don’t want to hate the G0P. I didn’t know how broken into specific splintered groups exist in that party. You did a great thing, Marc, by inviting this guest! Good way to start my day. 🎉 Thank you ‼️
Back when he was still being honest, Lindsey Graham actually said that if they nominated Trump, he would rip their party apart. It's pretty obvious that he was right.
I was just saying that…I LOVVVEEE HER!.My Brain usually shuts down in the presence of a republican and I am ok with it,I am not open minded…but she is so dope,
What an excellent, informative conversation. Sarah Longwell is truly a genius and a voice that needs to be heard more. Thanks, Marc for this podcast. Voting blue all the way!
@@margaretjones7954Psst. Please do not shout. She is not a sieg heil fascict. She is a conservative. Read learn and do not display your ignorance until you do. If Kennedy were writing Profiles in Courage now, Cheyney belongs in it. Her papa who sucked us into an Iraq war with no purpose and no forseeable outcome, unlike Papa Bush who had a plan, oobjective and common sense to get the heck out. We tried nation building in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea and Taiwan. The last two succeeded.
Sarah & Marc, you have both done an amazing job during this crazy time! I sure am grateful to you both! I’m a lifelong Democrat. If this was other way & trump was the Democrat candidate, I’d vote red! Thanks to all who stand for country over party!! ⚖️🗽🇺🇸💙🗳️💙🇺🇸🗽⚖️
Like PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES. Trump WON his PRIMARY. That's DEMOCRACY. Harris was never in a presidential primary. That's FASCISM.Vote BLEW destroy DEMOCRACY.
Democracy is the worst form of government, aside from all of the other forms that have been tried. Democracy is people of average intelligence making the most important decisions, since they outnumber everyone else. It's only through democracy that someone like Trump could ever be elected. Wouldn't it be best to have the most intelligent people making the decisions, instead? The problem with that system is that it is apparently very difficult to put it in place and make it work.
Why normal job applications have some selective criteria and the most important job in the running of USA Democracy obviously have so many flaws that crooks like DTrump easily get through?? Common USA Patriots, do BETTER! All Vote Blue 💙💙💙🇺🇸🗽💙💙💙🇺🇸🗽💙💙💙

What a wonderful insightful conversation! Thank you Marc and Sarah!
Sarah, what I think is wonderful it that folks like you have informed and moved folks like me. More than ever I am a Democrat BUT the big tent keeps getting bigger and I need to learn a wider breath of tolerance. Old dogs can change. We have a Republic if we can keep it. We need to do it together.
This is the first time I’ve seen Sarah. I’m a Democrat but I really enjoyed listening to such a logical, intelligent conservative who can see the republican presidential candidate does not have good policies and only cares about himself, not his party or constituents. He wants power and i can’t even imagine the ways he may misuse that power. I’m sure the first thing he would do is have all charges against him dropped, then go after anyone that he fells is against him.
@@CelestialWoodwayNo one like Trump, though. I agree with carrolbronson9437’s comment is that Trump’s main reason to keep pursuing to get to The White House is to drop all charges against him but most importantly, he is gonna go after everyone, whether Republican or Democrat, who went against him, in any shape or form. He is a narcissist who likes power more than anything and does not like to lose.

BUT THEY NEVER WILL MENTION THIS: Some of Kamala Harris’s incriminating history: She falsely claimed President Trump wanted to deny women IVF treatment, but he said he wanted the insurance co.’s to pay for it. She continually lied about Joe Biden being sharp and fit for office. When rioters were burning our cities, she said “They are not going to let up, nor should they. She set up a Bail Fund for rioters who were destroying our cities. Supports Sanctuary Cities. Compared ICE agents to the KKK. Wants to eliminate the Electoral College. Called the Jussie Smollet Hoax “A modern day Lynching” Said that to combat Climate Change, we need to reduce the population. Backs publicly funded healthcare for illegals. Called the border wall a waste of money. Supported $807 billion legislation that would provide tuition free college to students nationwide. Co-sponsored legislation banning offshore drilling. She praised LA mayor’s $150 million cut in police funding. Said it is wrong to think that more police officers make communities safer. Sponsored bill giving grants to replace current buses with electric ones. She said Biden’s record high gas prices are a “price to pay for democracy”. Supported cancelling the Keystone pipeline. Supported banning plastic straws. Sponsored bill expanding vote-by-mail and early in-person voting during 2020 election. Sponsored bill allowing DHS to place minor illegal aliens into the care of adult ones. Sponsored bill to replace cash bail systems, and a bill to advance the Green New Deal. Requires Id’s to get into rallies but is against requiring ones to vote. Co-sponsored Bernie Sanders Medicare for All Act. Sponsored bill providing illegals with a right to legal representation. Co-sponsored the Protect Act. she wrongly claimed NCAA women’s tournament was excluded from brackets until 2022. She has blood on her hands, is responsible for thousands killed by Fentanyl, along with terrorists, rapists and murderers willfully let into our country!
What a great interview, thank you Marc! As a Democrat, I've been following Sarah since discovering her on The Bulwark YT channel. The praise which Marc offers Sarah is spot-on. Thank you SO MUCH Sarah, I'll continue to feel deep gratitude to you always for the astonishing contribution to Democracy and intellectual integrity which you're giving us!

I am stunned by the time given by Mr. Elias for her fabulous, knowledgeable, and truly American answers to every scenario by Sarah and the wonderful questions of Marc. It just doesn't get any better than this. Wow. I'm so grateful for Marc AND Sarah; THANK YOU!
I have always voted for the person I thought would do the best job. I have never been associated with a party. Because of Trump and the Republican party since Covid, I joined the Democratic Party. At 76 years old, I don't see myself ever voting for a Republican again because I don't think they can clean up the party enough in my lifetime. I even wonder if a new party will need to emerge.
IM Praying for all people all over the world JESUS CHRIST IS CALLING PLEASE ANSWER HIM FOR GOD IS GLORIOUS GOD LOVES YOU TRUMP @)@$ VOTE BIBLICALLY WHENEVER POSSIBLE i say this because 34 percent of dems claim to believe in God and thats budda muslim hindu stones statures and else CALL OUT TO OUR ONE TRUE JESUS CHRIST LOVE ABOUNDS IN HIM ALONE
There are too many so called christians. Supporting Trump', I don't think God loves someone, that lies steals, try overthrow the government, and don't forget rape. So religion and politics don't go together
When you vote for a Republican, you are not just voting for that individual, you are voting for the entire party and their agenda. They pretty much vote in locked (goose) step.
Go on over to the Bulwark and I bet you find PLENTY you'll dig. One of the best things about the DNC, an event that had 1000 things to celebrate? Watching Sarah and Tim (you'll dig him for sure🎉) talk about how comfortable they were at the DNC & how much they realized was geared towards them than what they imagined (I'm sure the Republicans who came werent sure what would be said by audience. Would they boo? Would they feel unwanted?) I was so proud to be a Democrat in that moment bc WE ARE the party that welcomes ALL. "C'mon in, fam! The waters FIIINNEEE!" is how we unite the country and everybody pivoted to exactly that without anyone discussing . If you are Christian, you know THATS what Jesus would do.
Fascinating analysis of the last 9 years. I’m a 61 yr old woman who aligned with the Republican Party at the age of 12. Grew up in a deeply evangelical and also politically minded family. My dad ran for State Representative in Mass in 1978. Feel like I fall into almost all of Sarah’s categories for leaving the party in 2016. I left and in the first wave for one reason (or several) and then have moved closer and closer to all the Democrat Party policies as the years have progressed; very much along the waves that Sarah described. Would love to sit and talk with her to share my Republican exit story - complicated by the religious aspect and my own life story. (Families can really have quite a stranglehold over each other when it’s so entwined with religion and it’s an identity vs a belief.) Listening to conservatives who see the real and imminent danger of MAGA has very much helped me know that it’s not me - it’s them (MAGA) and also has provided a great source of healing from the hurt of the utter betrayal of the Republican Party and what I thought it stood for in the past.

You're one of the lucky ones. Many will never be released from their shackles. Conservatism and Democracy are like water and oil. You can have one or the other, but they do not mix together.
The Heritage Foundation's and Federalist Society's (et al) mission is nothing new. Maybe you know this, maybe you don't. They've been pushing their hatred for a diverse and free America since, and through, Ronald Reagan. He wanted to implement Schedule F. He was in cahoots with Roger Ailes and Murdoch. At this point, the takeover is almost complete. They have the courts, the legislative branch and are infiltrating public schools. Ibwould argue, that Jim Crow almost ended with the Civil Rights movement, but they won't let it die. Anyway, I'm so happy you have seen light. I hope your influence on those around you will make a difference. Vote BLUE down the line. ❤💙🌊
I switched parties in 2016 to vote for Hillary with the thought that I could vote republican after trump is no longer a threat, now im not too sure I will ever vote republican again. This will be the third time that I'm voting blue. Harris/Walz 24 💙💙💙
I like that saying, "Never trump from the Jump"!!! I was one of those people!!! Thought he was a HUGE joke!!! And when he was elected I thought I could hold my breath for 4 years and he would go away. Well...I'm still holding my breath...and trump just won't go away. I think if he wins in 2024 I will just die...from lack of oxygen!!!
The problem is that is eggactly when Dems DO, vote every 4 years like it's some kind of magic wand. Ignoring the 2000 election where SCROTUS was allowed to stop the vote, which Gore would have won. Then in 2010, 2012, 2014 didn't EVEN try to give Obama a MAJORITY!!! I mean like MILLIONS OF AMERICANS RECEIVED HEALTH INSURANCE!! 2016, less than 55k in 3 states gave the electoral college to tRumpf. How different the SCOTUS would have been!! Never mind the unending war$, when our sons and daughters were coming home in FLAG DRAPED COFFINS BY the THOUSANDS!!! Especially in 2010 when citizens United was overturned and corporations, were people too!!! They do not get THEY ARE HOW WE ARRIVED HERE!!! Their 'thinking' just voting is enough. Shameful!
Yeah, from the jump with his overcompensating bloviation, his unrelentingly hyperbolic self-aggrandizing, I detected wrestling mic bs, that escalated with the RNCs official platform changes in 2016 that included abandoning Ukraine, taking credit for national accomplishments before he was even elected, I was never Trump from his entry. But once elected, I hoped the bloviation was an act, and was immediately disappointed early into 2017.
And even worse, he has been influenced to be even worse--being on the side of turning us into a dictatorship backed up with an an oligarchy--just like Russia's model.
From the Netherlands, thank you Democracy Docket! Sarah’s so knowledgeable and eloquent! This is exactly how Democrats and Republicans should discuss politics!
These Republicans in the Senate need to go. McConnell, Grassly, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Lindsay Graham, Kennedy, Ron Johnson, Rubio, Rick Scott, Josh Hawley.
When I saw that Sarah & Marc would be talking together, I felt excited & happy. That’s simplistic, and true. You are two of my favorites. Thank you for this informative discussion. ❤❤
I agree Trump should never be allowed to be president ever again for starting the insursurrection on the Capital Building. He said that meet me at the White House, and we will all go down to the Capital Building. He didn't go down there with them. He watched it on TV inside the White House. All the While his people destroyed our country's Capital Building. He let them do it because he wanted to let his people destroy our country Capital Building. They destroyed a lot of important things and hurt people, and killed some of the people. They totally destroyed our country Capital Building. He let them do it. Because he said meet me at the White House, and we will all go down to the Capital Building He chickened out and sent his people to go down there to get inside the capital building and totally destroyed important things in the capital building. They hurt a lot of people, and they killed some of them. He should be charged with them killing people you could lock him up for killing people inside the Capital Building. He could have stopped it at any time, but he didn't. He should be charged with people getting hurt and killed. He should be charged for doing that. But what gets me nothing is being done with Donald Trump. Because he started the whole thing. Please put Trump in jail where he belongs for letting his people go down to the Capital Building and hurt a lot of people, and kill some of them. But they totally destroyed our capital building. And it was all because of Trump. It was his because of Trump that his people destroyed our the Trump should be charged with doing that telling his people to go down to the Capital Building. So it's Donald Trump fault that his people did what theyd. So charged Trump for doing what he did. I'm so sorry for it being so long, but I wanted to tell everyone about what Trump did. So, I charged Trump for the crimes of destroyed the capital building..
Wonderful and enlightening interview! I really appreciate the both of you, your work and podcasts. It's fun to see you together! I am 69 yo female who has been a republican, an independent, a democrat, and independent again and now a democrat. I am not committed to any one party (learned that hard way). I am committed to whats best for the country, my friends and family and myself. The first pres I voted for Jimmy Carter and I was republican. :-)
Sarah is a national treasure! I haven't been a republican for decades and it's refreshing to see a republican that has more than common sense... it's just like brilliance. gotta luv the multiple focus groups per week too. go Sarah!
Wonderful show! Having known Trump in New York in the 1970s, I am a “Never Trumper,” so much so that I checked myself out of the hospital after knee surgery for the day and wobbled on crutches to the nearest consulate to cast my vote for Biden. The previous election, I , like so many others, thought he never had a chance, so I wasn’t terribly concerned. Never was a Hilary fan, but in my mind, anyone BUT Trump would have been better. You can imagine my horror when I woke up to learn that the election had been called for Trump! As an expat who follows American politics very closely, nothing that Trump does surprises me. That being said, the mass insanity of June 6th, the flagrant corruption in all our branches of government, and the cowardliness of our media have not only left me mystified but in true despair.
37 minutes in Sarah Longwell explains why she thinks we should all be talking about elections with each other! Thank you for that, Sarah! It takes a lot of courage for moderates to run for office. We need to support them so we can have conversations and compromise again. Thanks again Sarah for your explanations....so helpful!
I said that too at the beginning; I was visiting a friend in AUS and her friends asked me about Trump. “we’ll see, it might not be horrible “. Within months I wrote to her - “tell your friends it’s officially horrible.”.
I gave him about 4-6 weeks of his campaign in 2016 with an open mind and without immediately discarding him the moment the media reported negatively about him. But even by that summer I was horrified at the prospect of him winning.
Thank you! I so admire you both and enjoyed the respectful and insightful conversation. Sarah's ability to deliver hard truths in a non-inflammatory, palatable way is so refreshing and Marc, you are clearly an egalitarian man. I can't say enough how much I value your work. We are so lucky to have you fighting along with us. Thank you.
Absolutey fantastic episode! I think Sarah Longwell is amazing, I was Thrilled to see her on the show! I watch the Bulwark regularly, and all their shows and Hosts are great...and I'm a progressive. I hope you have Sarah back on. Thank You both very much 💙💙💙👍👍💙💙💙
What an uplifting interview between two of my favorites! 🎉 As for voters who want politicians who compromise - I'm a lifelong Dem who used to be further left. But I think that watching Joe Biden heal the carnage, and watching Kamala tacking center and building a bigger tent, has taught me the value of compromise.
Thank you Marc and Sarah, you both are Democracy super heroes. You are living proof that both sides of the aisle can meet and have meaningful, respectful and humorous discourse. Life long Dem here and I love The Bulwark podcasts.The daily Democracy Docket bulletins give me hope 💙💙💙💙
I’m an ex long time Republican …I enjoy the Bulwark podcast with JVL, Tim Miller and Sarah Longwell. Like them Trump ended my relationship with the Republican Party… While they may return after he’s gone…I’m not going back. I don’t think in my lifetime, they can clean the MAGA stench out of that party. This is because the non MAGA republicans couldn’t stand up to him. I don’t want those wimps in charge either…their (lack of) actions have proven they’re not leaders…

This is the first election in 6 decades that I haven’t felt like I was walking across hot coals to get to the polling booth. I started as a young Republican only because I was so stupid to know the difference at 18. I figured it out thankfully when Barack ran for office. Thank God.

Sarah is wonderful. Clear, concise, and spirited. Let's work to make her job easier! So glad I listened to this while writing get out the vote postcards to Ohio. Thanks!
Ppppp
I am a lifelong Democrat, but like Sarah I told myself & my other crushed friends, that he wouldn't really be able to do much damage cuz majority of Republicans wouldn't allow him to do crazy shit. How I wish we had been right! Kudos to all ya'll clear thinking Republicans.
Yes! People were telling me "give him a chance, bla bla bla." And I said NO! Never. I will badmouth him every chance I get along with the traitors who support him. And I did. And I will continue to. Its not my 'friend's' job to censor me.
@@hardboiledmahoney3273 Yes I’m with you I have never ever made an excuse for Trump and I never ever will. He’s been a failure from the beginning and he will always be a failure
@@hardboiledmahoney3273Same! I grew up in NJ, 45 min from the Bridge and knew ALL about trump's vile nature and knew he could do real, significant damage.
🌊☮️🌊
They are clear-thinking conservatives, no longer Republicans. Anyone who still supports the Trump GOP at this point is hardly clear-thinking.
@@hardboiledmahoney3273I can’t tell you how many times I heard that “Give him a chance” BS. You think they’d say that about their mechanic or their kids doctor. How people were willing to give a man who was a known con and failed business man a pass should never be forgotten.
I’m from the far left, but like to see voices from all spectrums. Sarah the way you communicate is amazing. Thank you for being a stand against Trump and supporting Harris.
Agree, although Sarah's nostalgia for "conservatism" is annoying. There was never anything good about movement conservatives.
She has a very smart approach.
😊
IF DT wins there will be no more conservative party he thinks youre weak .
Her podcast "The Focus Group" is worth listening to. Haven't listened to this episode entirely yet but I'm sure she mentions it.
Sarah and Marc, I was blown away by this wonderful conversation. I would LOVE to see more people taking advantage of your combined experience. Thank you so much for sitting down with each other and explaining to all of us what has happened, what is happening now, and what we can do to protect our Democracy. Love, love, love it.
I agree. I'd like to see more of this, Marc and Sarah. It cuts through any fuzzy math.
We Are Not Going Back.❤ Reform the G.O.P. Vote for The Constitution and Democracy. Sarah is completely right.

WOW, I really loved this! Seeing the Republicans at the DNC made my heart sing. How amazing if Republicans and Dems could talk to each other and not spew so much hate.
From the convention podium: “If Republicans are being intellectually honest with ourselves our party is not civil or conservative. It’s chaotic and crazy and the only thing left to do is...dump Trump.” Geoff Duncan, Former Lt. Governor, Georgia, Republican
EXACTLY! America, the USA, is just one country. I'm fairly certain our geographical boundaries are set at this point. Therefore, as a nation, we MUST work diligently to preserve this union. 💙💯
While canvassing for Kamala I met a few of real Republicans who never drank the Trump Koolade.
@@Gaperinaare they going to vote for Harris?
I look extremely unkindly towards tyrannical fascists. N Just saying.
Ok THANK YOU Ms Longwell for your work for DEMOCRACY WE NEED EVERYONE GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 🙏🇺🇸💙🗳
Sarah Longwell and Marc Elias are true patriots of the first order. Americans owe them a huge debt of gratitude. Hit 'Like" if you agree to show them how we feel.
Totally agree!
Sarah, Thanks so much for the brilliant clarifications between Dispatch, Lincoln Project and Bulwark adherents! Btw, LUV your sence of humor!🤭🌊☮️🌊
@@robertrich1216Marc Elias is an enemy of democracy, he has used every tactic imaginable for years to prevent third parties to be on the ballot over the country. He uses legal tactics to prevent the Green Party and others to get on the ballot and participate in debates. Elias is no defender of democracy!
A total failure to understand how political parties are really the problem here. Mark Elias fought against ranked Choice voting. The founding fathers warned against the problem we have now. Just search "founding fathers warning against political parties factions".
Sarah and Marc have been thinking from a partisan lens their whole life so much that they do not have the ability to understand this. Independents make up about a third of the electorate and are more able to see this clearly.
To make this work we would have to have public funding of elections and the media campaigns where the media are forced to give equal free access to political candidates.
Only small dollar donations should be allowed, and anything over $100 should be taxed 100%.
Endless gerrymandering and anti gerrymandering lawsuits is easy to end with all states having all representatives in at large districts, combined with rank Choice voting is far better than we have now. Districts are obsolete with modern travel and telecommunications.
@@glike2 Marc Elias is no defender of democracy, he’s been using every tactic to prevent third parties like the Green Party from being on the ballot.
Sarah is wonderful and Marc is my hero. They're both fighting effectively on the right side of the battle.
Why does Sarah Longwell think her Republican activity was not always in support of low taxes for the rich, low regulation of business, and low rights for the masses?
@@PhilipMuench-w6c i notice that they seem to ignore their bad policies before trump and what preceded in creating trump and the MAGA movement. A huge part was hating and disrespecting President Obama. trump came into his role via the birther bullshit, which was in line with the Tea Party that republicans catered to. Everything was about the Constitution until trump wanted to get rid of it.
@@PhilipMuench-w6c Yep. I have zero respect for her as a person.
@@PhilipMuench-w6c because that’s how republicans vote in the senate and house of representatives.
If you think there is a right side of this battle you’re part of the problem.
I have listened to Sarah for quite some time. She is extremely smart in the political field. I’m a Democrat and have always been a Democratic. However, Sarah has made me rethink my politics. I still believe that we need to help the unfortunate. Keep keeping me informed Sarah.
Sarah is a breath of fresh air. Love to listen to her common sense and analysis.
I'm a75year1Democrat,but I have so much respect for Liz Cheney and Adams Kissinger are two of my favorite people that are Republican, but still human. I thank both of these people for their courage and sacrifice.. I wish the the very best in future.
You are nuts. Liz Cheney is evil. She is for the de.s cause daddy mKes tons if.money with these was that Re going on. The OmpNy he heads is very involved by distributing equipment. Adam Kinzinget needs help. He cries all the time. When he was in Ongresx he z oildnt even talk he z ried so hard. He is mentally ill
Ditto. If there were a political party of them I would actually have to make voting decisions. I don't now.
The former twister in Chief is the real RINO.
Thank you very much for sharing 💙💙💙
I vote democrat because my government helped/stand behind me. Student loans, home loans,etc. I have my back for this Country and others that are in similar situations. We didn’t all grow up with a silver spoon and I’m for those in need that need help. Not those that take advantage of our system.
Really 😂 when did they stand behind us in 2008 during the housing collapse? Instead bailed out everyone responsible for the collapse. While families that were preyed upon were kicked to the streets. I loved how they stood with rail workers and sided with the big rail companies and forced Americans back to work that were exercising their union rights. I love how when coming to office in 2008 we were told day 1 they would codify Roe... And with their filibuster safe super majority walked away from that because as quoted we have more important things to handle.😂 I love how they stand behind us I mean just ask Flint, Michigan and Lahaina, Maui and East Palestine, Ohio how much our Democrats stand behind them as they attach their measle funding to bills sending billions to foreign wars. I love how they claim to behind us but are the ones calling for censorship to the tune of creating a govt agency to approve what's true and what's not.... Because that's never gone wrong I mean never in the history of this planet has the group trying to censor ever been on the correct side of history...😂😂 Ya they really are for us .... Your nickname should be HoodWinked.
Truth girl ...I love your spirit...wish more people were like you...am not American but I am in the fight with you...America is home to so many people across the world.continue the fight...you will win...
👍
Agree 💯🎯‼️💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
If you are talking about those who take advantage of the system who happen to be poor, I give them a pass cause are they are not any worse than those who have money and still take advantage of the system. They are the deplorables, and they are many.
Right on Sarah! You are very well spoken and easy to listen to. Lifelong Republican here who FINALLY saw the light in 2020! Listening and witnessing what Adam Kinzinger (and Liz Cheney) went thru, Marc Elias' spot on analysis sitting in with Brian Cohen, and people like you Sarah, ALL played a HUGE roll in waking my once complacent lame ass back up! Vote Blue America. Simply Vote Blue.
Word.
SO great to hear your story. And I am SO thankful that you chose to vote for democracy, for country over party. This is THE most important election of our lifetimes. 🙏🏼
Sarah Long well should be on the cover of Time mag as one of the most influential person this year with all her important work raising awareness of where voters & issues are at this point in history with her focus group work and publishing the Bullwark podcasts - appreciate her hard work & insights so much!
Absolutely!
This is the best conversation I’ve seen Sarah have in explaining how the Republicans view republicans. She’s socially liberal but fiscally conservative. I watch the Bulwark daily and this was very helpful to me. Thank you Marc and Sarah great conversation!
Thank goodness for Sarah and all the good work she is doing. Vote Blue for sanity!
This is fantastic!!! I learned so much. I don’t want to hate the G0P. I didn’t know how broken into specific splintered groups exist in that party. You did a great thing, Marc, by inviting this guest! Good way to start my day. 🎉 Thank you ‼️
Back when he was still being honest, Lindsey Graham actually said that if they nominated Trump, he would rip their party apart.
It's pretty obvious that he was right.
Must be psychic!!😂😂😂😂
Lindsey drops to his knees at the color orange (and pink)
He was never honest
I'm sad that Lindsey Graham has lost so much credibility (maybe all). He's made a meme of himself.
Graham is no more than a Trump lackey... he needs to go! Disgusting little worm- maybe he has Kennedys worm?
I am a staunch, life long Dem and could listen to Sarah all day. She is so smart and perceptive and reasonable!
. . . because she's reasonable, and NEVER drink the kool-aid. Her being gay has much to do with it as well.
Love Sarah! She is spot on smart!
I was going to make the same comment! Sarah is brilliant.
She's awesome and snarky as heck..❤🎉
I was just saying that…I LOVVVEEE HER!.My Brain usually shuts down in the presence of a republican and I am ok with it,I am not open minded…but she is so dope,
Thank you both for speaking to the REAL issues. Excellent eeven toned discussion. ❤
Grown ups having a healthy and constructive conversation? My heart. ❤
Most of the bulwark people are exceptionally good at this. I don't always like their ideas about policies but I like their ideas about politics.
Amen sister.
What an excellent, informative conversation. Sarah Longwell is truly a genius and a voice that needs to be heard more. Thanks, Marc for this podcast. Voting blue all the way!
Well put Sarah! And well said, Marc.😅
Liz Cheney is too smart to act stupid. I don't like her politics, but I admire her principles
Not just principles but brave and strength.
She has no principles.
As a Democrat lifelong, I 'd vote for Liz Chaney in a heartbeat. She is a hero.
@@margaretjones7954Psst. Please do not shout. She is not a sieg heil fascict. She is a conservative. Read learn and do not display your ignorance until you do. If Kennedy were writing Profiles in Courage now, Cheyney belongs in it. Her papa who sucked us into an Iraq war with no purpose and no forseeable outcome, unlike Papa Bush who had a plan, oobjective and common sense to get the heck out. We tried nation building in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea and Taiwan. The last two succeeded.
Liz has more principles than your Dump@@margaretjones7954

Fascinating show. Thank you Marc and Sarah🩵💙
Marc Elias, you are such a patriot with all the hard work you do for protecting our voting rights! Thank you so much!
I Love Sarah. I watch the Bulwark all the time since finding Sarah. And Marc.....you are a hero. Thank you for keeping me broadly informed.
Sarah & Marc, you have both done an amazing job during this crazy time! I sure am grateful to you both! I’m a lifelong Democrat. If this was other way & trump was the Democrat candidate,
I’d vote red! Thanks to all who stand for country over party!!

EXCELLENT discussion, Marc and Sarah! Please talk again to help us all understand the various issues, values and ways that will UNITE USA🇺🇸
What made American great was the people who trusted each other enough to create democracy 💙
AMEN!!!
Like PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES. Trump WON his PRIMARY. That's DEMOCRACY. Harris was never in a presidential primary. That's FASCISM.Vote BLEW destroy DEMOCRACY.
Beautifully & simply stated.
Democracy is the worst form of government, aside from all of the other forms that have been tried. Democracy is people of average intelligence making the most important decisions, since they outnumber everyone else. It's only through democracy that someone like Trump could ever be elected. Wouldn't it be best to have the most intelligent people making the decisions, instead? The problem with that system is that it is apparently very difficult to put it in place and make it work.
Why normal job applications have some selective criteria and the most important job in the running of USA Democracy obviously have so many flaws that crooks like DTrump easily get through?? Common USA Patriots, do BETTER! All Vote Blue 💙💙💙🇺🇸🗽💙💙💙🇺🇸🗽💙💙💙
What a wonderful insightful conversation! Thank you Marc and Sarah!
Thanks, Marc Elias for having Sara Longwell on! She is awesome and so are you. What a great interview.
Sarah, what I think is wonderful it that folks like you have informed and moved folks like me. More than ever I am a Democrat BUT the big tent keeps getting bigger and I need to learn a wider breath of tolerance.
Old dogs can change. We have a Republic if we can keep it.
We need to do it together.
AAAMEN! Yes WE can!!!
"Compromise"? Yes! Sarah Longwell for US Senate!
This is the first time I’ve seen Sarah. I’m a Democrat but I really enjoyed listening to such a logical, intelligent conservative who can see the republican presidential candidate does not have good policies and only cares about himself, not his party or constituents. He wants power and i can’t even imagine the ways he may misuse that power. I’m sure the first thing he would do is have all charges against him dropped, then go after anyone that he fells is against him.
That is most politicians, though. 😅
@@CelestialWoodwayNo one like Trump, though. I agree with carrolbronson9437’s comment is that Trump’s main reason to keep pursuing to get to The White House is to drop all charges against him but most importantly, he is gonna go after everyone, whether Republican or Democrat, who went against him, in any shape or form. He is a narcissist who likes power more than anything and does not like to lose.
@@CelestialWoodwayNOT
Yes!
my heros marc and sarah...ooh yeah!

Two of my favorite defenders of Democracy, Sarah and Marc!
Great viewing to start my weekend. Thank you both for your tireless work!
Yes thank you from this Democrat’s bottom of her heart.
Such a good conversation. I don’t need to sit in front of my TV to get informed. These podcasts are so helpful. Thank you!
Two national treasures! As a progressive thinker, I learned so much from this.
BUT THEY NEVER WILL MENTION THIS:
Some of Kamala Harris’s incriminating history: She falsely claimed President Trump wanted to deny women IVF treatment, but he said he wanted the insurance co.’s to pay for it. She continually lied about Joe Biden being sharp and fit for office. When rioters were burning our cities, she said “They are not going to let up, nor should they. She set up a Bail Fund for rioters who were destroying our cities. Supports Sanctuary Cities. Compared ICE agents to the KKK. Wants to eliminate the Electoral College. Called the Jussie Smollet Hoax “A modern day Lynching” Said that to combat Climate Change, we need to reduce the population. Backs publicly funded healthcare for illegals. Called the border wall a waste of money. Supported $807 billion legislation that would provide tuition free college to students nationwide. Co-sponsored legislation banning offshore drilling. She praised LA mayor’s $150 million cut in police funding. Said it is wrong to think that more police officers make communities safer. Sponsored bill giving grants to replace current buses with electric ones. She said Biden’s record high gas prices are a “price to pay for democracy”. Supported cancelling the Keystone pipeline. Supported banning plastic straws. Sponsored bill expanding vote-by-mail and early in-person voting during 2020 election. Sponsored bill allowing DHS to place minor illegal aliens into the care of adult ones. Sponsored bill to replace cash bail systems, and a bill to advance the Green New Deal. Requires Id’s to get into rallies but is against requiring ones to vote. Co-sponsored Bernie Sanders Medicare for All Act. Sponsored bill providing illegals with a right to legal representation. Co-sponsored the Protect Act. she wrongly claimed NCAA women’s tournament was excluded from brackets until 2022. She has blood on her hands, is responsible for thousands killed by Fentanyl, along with terrorists, rapists and murderers willfully let into our country!

me too on both counts!
I'm willing to listen to all opinions. Haha except MAGA crazies.
Sarah represents the Republicans of old. I can disagree with her, yet respect her. There is NO respect for today’s MAGA Republicans.

I am stunned by the time given by Mr. Elias for her fabulous, knowledgeable, and truly
American answers to every scenario by Sarah and the wonderful questions of Marc. It
just doesn't get any better than this. Wow. I'm so grateful for Marc AND Sarah; THANK
YOU!
Sarah and Tim are wonderful on the Bulwark.
I have always voted for the person I thought would do the best job. I have never been associated with a party. Because of Trump and the Republican party since Covid, I joined the Democratic Party. At 76 years old, I don't see myself ever voting for a
Republican again because I don't think they can clean up the party enough in my lifetime. I even wonder if a new party will need to emerge.
Stay tuned
I'm 76 always a Dem, have voted for Republicans, but you're right after Trump, I'll never vote for a Republican Republican
IM Praying for all people all over the world JESUS CHRIST IS CALLING PLEASE ANSWER HIM FOR GOD IS GLORIOUS GOD LOVES YOU TRUMP @)@$ VOTE BIBLICALLY WHENEVER POSSIBLE i say this because 34 percent of dems claim to believe in God and thats budda muslim hindu stones statures and else CALL OUT TO OUR ONE TRUE JESUS CHRIST LOVE ABOUNDS IN HIM ALONE
There are too many so called christians. Supporting Trump', I don't think God loves someone, that lies steals, try overthrow the government, and don't forget rape. So religion and politics don't go together
When you vote for a Republican, you are not just voting for that individual, you are voting for the entire party and their agenda. They pretty much vote in locked (goose) step.
Great conversation! I’m such a fan of you both.
Wow! Sarah Longwell is awesome. Absolutely loved her here. Thank you so much for having her here. I learned tons here always a good thing.
Go on over to the Bulwark and I bet you find PLENTY you'll dig. One of the best things about the DNC, an event that had 1000 things to celebrate? Watching Sarah and Tim (you'll dig him for sure🎉) talk about how comfortable they were at the DNC & how much they realized was geared towards them than what they imagined (I'm sure the Republicans who came werent sure what would be said by audience. Would they boo? Would they feel unwanted?) I was so proud to be a Democrat in that moment bc WE ARE the party that welcomes ALL. "C'mon in, fam! The waters FIIINNEEE!" is how we unite the country and everybody pivoted to exactly that without anyone discussing . If you are Christian, you know THATS what Jesus would do.
Fascinating analysis of the last 9 years. I’m a 61 yr old woman who aligned with the Republican Party at the age of 12. Grew up in a deeply evangelical and also politically minded family. My dad ran for State Representative in Mass in 1978. Feel like I fall into almost all of Sarah’s categories for leaving the party in 2016. I left and in the first wave for one reason (or several) and then have moved closer and closer to all the Democrat Party policies as the years have progressed; very much along the waves that Sarah described. Would love to sit and talk with her to share my Republican exit story - complicated by the religious aspect and my own life story. (Families can really have quite a stranglehold over each other when it’s so entwined with religion and it’s an identity vs a belief.)
Listening to conservatives who see the real and imminent danger of MAGA has very much helped me know that it’s not me - it’s them (MAGA) and also has provided a great source of healing from the hurt of the utter betrayal of the Republican Party and what I thought it stood for in the past.
😮Why are we worrying about any of this stuff?! If Daffy Don was required to have a psychological evaluation as a prerequisite to being a member of the nuclear launch sequence team his candidacy would be over!😬All of those individuals are currently required to be evaluated EXCEPT the Commander-in-Chief!!! Hello? That is illegal and an existential threat. The Armed Services Committee must immediately meet next week to review the nuclear chain of command requirements and change revise them to include the POTUS😮
You're one of the lucky ones. Many will never be released from their shackles. Conservatism and Democracy are like water and oil. You can have one or the other, but they do not mix together.
Don’t forget Who the Rep Party leader The Bafoon DJT !!!! I call him Dumpy!
@@maplebones Depends on how you define Conservatism. I’ve got to concede, though, today’s version of each do seem at odds.
The Heritage Foundation's and Federalist Society's (et al) mission is nothing new. Maybe you know this, maybe you don't. They've been pushing their hatred for a diverse and free America since, and through, Ronald Reagan. He wanted to implement Schedule F. He was in cahoots with Roger Ailes and Murdoch. At this point, the takeover is almost complete. They have the courts, the legislative branch and are infiltrating public schools. Ibwould argue, that Jim Crow almost ended with the Civil Rights movement, but they won't let it die. Anyway, I'm so happy you have seen light. I hope your influence on those around you will make a difference. Vote BLUE down the line. ❤💙🌊

Once a fool always a fool.
Do you vote dem for down ballot too? Just curious.
@@TyroneKozlowskiAs djt would say, he loves the foolish.
@@ThatTexasGirl815 Now you’re quoting DJT? Get ready 4 him to be the 47th prez.
I like that saying, "Never trump from the Jump"!!! I was one of those people!!! Thought he was a HUGE joke!!! And when he was elected I thought I could hold my breath for 4 years and he would go away. Well...I'm still holding my breath...and trump just won't go away. I think if he wins in 2024 I will just die...from lack of oxygen!!!
The problem is that is eggactly when Dems DO, vote every 4 years like it's some kind of magic wand.
Ignoring the 2000 election where SCROTUS was allowed to stop the vote, which Gore would have won.
Then in 2010, 2012, 2014 didn't EVEN try to give Obama a MAJORITY!!! I mean like MILLIONS OF AMERICANS RECEIVED HEALTH INSURANCE!!
2016, less than 55k in 3 states gave the electoral college to tRumpf.
How different the SCOTUS would have been!!
Never mind the unending war$, when our sons and daughters were coming home in FLAG DRAPED COFFINS BY the THOUSANDS!!!
Especially in 2010 when citizens United was overturned and corporations, were people too!!!
They do not get THEY ARE HOW WE ARRIVED HERE!!!
Their 'thinking' just voting is enough.
Shameful!
Yeah, from the jump with his overcompensating bloviation, his unrelentingly hyperbolic self-aggrandizing, I detected wrestling mic bs, that escalated with the RNCs official platform changes in 2016 that included abandoning Ukraine, taking credit for national accomplishments before he was even elected, I was never Trump from his entry. But once elected, I hoped the bloviation was an act, and was immediately disappointed early into 2017.
Never happen!!!!!
Have faith that he won't win and will be held accountable for laws he's broken!!
And even worse, he has been influenced to be even worse--being on the side of turning us into a dictatorship backed up with an an oligarchy--just like Russia's model.
Guest Sarah and host Marc are treasures!
Sarah, it,s great to hear you lay out your views with such clarity and passion. You,re GREAT!
From the Netherlands, thank you Democracy Docket! Sarah’s so knowledgeable and eloquent! This is exactly how Democrats and Republicans should discuss politics!
Marc, excellently done. Thank you for providing this video. What a great conversation!
These Republicans in the Senate need to go. McConnell, Grassly, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Lindsay Graham, Kennedy, Ron Johnson, Rubio, Rick Scott, Josh Hawley.
YESssssss, ALL OF THEM.
They are DIRECTLY responsible for this almost 10 YEARS OF TRUMP’S SH*T
Oh, you forgot predator Goetz!! But there are many others, if we want to have any other helping agendas passed!
Tuberville and britt too
I'm an Independent in Florida and I will do my part to vote against Rick Scott. I agree with this 100%
A lot of these republicans have been complicit and need to go too. They should never be able to get back into politics. Unforgivable
When I saw that Sarah & Marc would be talking together, I felt excited & happy. That’s simplistic, and true. You are two of my favorites. Thank you for this informative discussion. ❤❤

He said that meet me at the White House, and we will all go down to the Capital Building. He didn't go down there with them. He watched it on TV inside the White House. All the While his people destroyed our country's Capital Building. He let them do it because he wanted to let his people destroy our country Capital Building. They destroyed a lot of important things and hurt people, and killed some of the people. They totally destroyed our country Capital Building. He let them do it. Because he said meet me at the White House, and we will all go down to the Capital Building
He chickened out and sent his people to go down there to get inside the capital building and totally destroyed important things in the capital building. They hurt a lot of people, and they killed some of them. He should be charged with them killing people you could lock him up for killing people inside the Capital Building. He could have stopped it at any time, but he didn't. He should be charged with people getting hurt and killed. He should be charged for doing that. But what gets me nothing is being done with Donald Trump. Because he started the whole thing. Please put Trump in jail where he belongs for letting his people go down to the Capital Building and hurt a lot of people, and kill some of them. But they totally destroyed our capital building. And it was all because of Trump. It was his because of Trump that his people destroyed our the Trump should be charged with doing that telling his people to go down to the Capital Building. So it's Donald Trump fault that his people did what theyd. So charged Trump for doing what he did. I'm so sorry for it being so long, but I wanted to tell everyone about what Trump did. So, I charged Trump for the crimes of destroyed the capital building..
Wonderful and enlightening interview! I really appreciate the both of you, your work and podcasts. It's fun to see you together! I am 69 yo female who has been a republican, an independent, a democrat, and independent again and now a democrat. I am not committed to any one party (learned that hard way). I am committed to whats best for the country, my friends and family and myself. The first pres I voted for Jimmy Carter and I was republican. :-)
Sarah is a national treasure! I haven't been a republican for decades and it's refreshing to see a republican that has more than common sense... it's just like brilliance. gotta luv the multiple focus groups per week too. go Sarah!
Thank You both ❤
I love Sarah ❤ and to have her on with Marc is even BETTER ❤ and I am a 61 year old Democrat.
Me too(I'm 70) and I like how they network with Dem guys from "Pod save America"
Wonderful show! Having known Trump in New York in the 1970s, I am a “Never Trumper,” so much so that I checked myself out of the hospital after knee surgery for the day and wobbled on crutches to the nearest consulate to cast my vote for Biden. The previous election, I , like so many others, thought he never had a chance, so I wasn’t terribly concerned. Never was a Hilary fan, but in my mind, anyone BUT Trump would have been better. You can imagine my horror when I woke up to learn that the election had been called for Trump! As an expat who follows American politics very closely, nothing that Trump does surprises me. That being said, the mass insanity of June 6th, the flagrant corruption in all our branches of government, and the cowardliness of our media have not only left me mystified but in true despair.
Thank you Marc and Sarah. Sarah you hit why I turned off news tv and listen to pods like this. Interesting talk. Again thank you both!
Two of the most insightful and brilliant pro democracy advocates out there today! Thank you for all you are doing!!!❤
37 minutes in Sarah Longwell explains why she thinks we should all be talking about elections with each other!
Thank you for that, Sarah!
It takes a lot of courage for moderates to run for office. We need to support them so we can have conversations and compromise again.
Thanks again Sarah for your explanations....so helpful!
I said that too at the beginning; I was visiting a friend in AUS and her friends asked me about Trump. “we’ll see, it might not be horrible “. Within months I wrote to her - “tell your friends it’s officially horrible.”.
I gave him about 4-6 weeks of his campaign in 2016 with an open mind and without immediately discarding him the moment the media reported negatively about him. But even by that summer I was horrified at the prospect of him winning.
Thank you! I so admire you both and enjoyed the respectful and insightful conversation. Sarah's ability to deliver hard truths in a non-inflammatory, palatable way is so refreshing and Marc, you are clearly an egalitarian man. I can't say enough how much I value your work. We are so lucky to have you fighting along with us. Thank you.
Sarah Longwell, is absolutely brilliant on this subject.
Absolutey fantastic episode! I think Sarah Longwell is amazing, I was Thrilled to see her on the show! I watch the Bulwark regularly, and all their shows and Hosts are great...and I'm a progressive. I hope you have Sarah back on.
Thank You both very much
💙💙💙👍👍💙💙💙
Thank you so much Sarah
What an uplifting interview between two of my favorites! 🎉 As for voters who want politicians who compromise - I'm a lifelong Dem who used to be further left. But I think that watching Joe Biden heal the carnage, and watching Kamala tacking center and building a bigger tent, has taught me the value of compromise.
Fascinating and thoughful discussion regarding the Republican party.
Thank you Marc and Sarah, you both are Democracy super heroes. You are living proof that both sides of the aisle can meet and have meaningful, respectful and humorous discourse. Life long Dem here and I love The Bulwark podcasts.The daily Democracy Docket bulletins give me hope 💙💙💙💙
Such a fascinating conversation for actually serious people. Def need to keep up with this channel I realize how much I respect the opionions here
This is what sane political discussion looks like, and I'm here for more of it. Thank you, Sarah, Marc and both your teams.
I’m an ex long time Republican …I enjoy the Bulwark podcast with JVL, Tim Miller and Sarah Longwell. Like them Trump ended my relationship with the Republican Party…
While they may return after he’s gone…I’m not going back. I don’t think in my lifetime, they can clean the MAGA stench out of that party. This is because the non MAGA republicans couldn’t stand up to him. I don’t want those wimps in charge either…their (lack of) actions have proven they’re not leaders…
😮Why are we worrying about any of this stuff?! If Daffy Don was required to have a psychological evaluation as a prerequisite to being a member of the nuclear launch sequence team his candidacy would be over!😬All of those individuals are currently required to be evaluated EXCEPT the Commander-in-Chief!!! Hello? That is illegal and an existential threat. The Armed Services Committee must immediately meet next week to review the nuclear chain of command requirements and change revise them to include the POTUS😮
Bingo!
Agreed. They have no principles. "If you stand for nothing, you fall for anything."
This is the first election in 6 decades that I haven’t felt like I was walking across hot coals to get to the polling booth. I started as a young Republican only because I was so stupid to know the difference at 18. I figured it out thankfully when Barack ran for office. Thank God.
Bring back traditional Republicans even though I would never agree with their policies. Trump has ruined American politics.
B😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂cxxb myi
Yes! They need to bring back the Jeff Flakes and Denver Rigglemans...just some sanity please.
I wasn't alive during the Eisenhower administration - was he traditional? I've heard he was one of the good ones.
A menace to our society & the world!
@@JeanGillespie-fp7rs And a laughing stock to boot. But, he thinks leaders all over the world admire him.
What a moron.
