- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- Enjoy my latest data-filled presentation on the 2024 election. My opening remarks take about 25 minutes and then there is another 35 minutes of discussion. The bottom line - in every imaginable, four months before voting begins, I would much rather be us than them.
For more of this kind of commentary and analysis please join me at www.hopiumchronicles.com. Thank you - Simon
Love this program. Feeling overwhelmed by all negative maga lies. You always give me hope ❤
Simon confirmed in a tweet that the narrative that Trump is leading in the polls is the Red Wave of 2024. Brett Meiselas has also been saying it, too.

Me too. I have to take breaks periodically or I’d go crazy. It’s really like we’re in an alternate universe. Even 20 years who would believe a twice impeached x-president would be a viable candidate to run again. Then you have to consider his criminal trials. Even though it was a civil case, he was found to be a rapist. He’s soon going to be found guilty of trying to affect the outcome of an election. Cannon needs to be dragged off the bench by her robe. SCOTUS needs to have the balls to to rule he doesn’t have full immunity. They shouldn’t have taken the case to begin with.
wow youre a special kind of liberal aint ya
They’re not lies. They’re real warning signs. I hope this guy is right but there are undeniably flashing red warning signs for Biden right
Mr. Rosenberg is the only person who lessens my anxiety about the 2024 election.
Meidas touch also a positive outlook and tell s the truth!
@@karenRowland-bk8tw I hope they are right. This is so scary. If Trump wins, we are in deep doo-doo!!!
George Conway is calm. Steve Schmidt is so mad.
@@karenRowland-bk8twMeidastouch is an anti-Trump propaganda machine!
That's because he's the only one who makes any sense when it comes to analyzing polls and trends.
Vote vote vote vote blue

He's not a journalist. I trust him but I'm not sure he's 100% right. Do not be complacent!!! Ideology is strong with these Trumpers.
@@spoonsmith9506stop watching polls and Simon knows the numbers when the talking heads on TV get paid to spread Propaganda with no facts.
@@spoonsmith9506
Biden won in the 2024 Presidential Primaries in Washington State, Wisconsin, Nevada, Pennsylvania but the polls always say Trump is winning when Trump has already LOST so Polls don’t vote people do and by the votes Trump has no path to the White House but by the MSM polls.
Simon is the kumbaya I've needed through all of the frustration that's been this election.
Thank you so much. I feel much better every time listening to your talk. Vote Blue 💙
Same
Incredible Simon. THANK YOU! 💙
I live in Vancouver, BC, and sustain my faith in the U.S. thanks to Simon's words, and all of the Dems who are fighting. I may live up here but what happens "down there" will most definitely affect us and of course, the rest of the world. Please, please Dems, fight as if your life depends on it because actually , it does. As a Jewish person especially, I am terrified of Trump and his ilk. It's only a matter of time if he wins. I wouldn't be surprised if he turns on Jews first, and then all the other minorities.
@@Spacetime_Odyssey7 I PC for all races who ask for help.
I believe Biden will win BIG!!! I live in a swing state, Wisconsin. trump won here in 2016 by .77% that is a tiny margin. Biden won in 2020 by .63%!!! eave smaller!! I think Biden will win Wisconsin by alot this time! You're absolutely correct, trump IS terrifying!!! And if those who support him don't think he'll come for their guns....theyre living in dream world. No autocrat would allow citizens to carry guns!!!
That is my concern. He will definitely go after Black people 1st. His hatred of us is palpable.
You guys are loved. Jews and AA have both been enslaved and now we all desire for all to thrive@@basictoblessed4506
Look forward to everything you have to say! Thank you, you're the best!
Agree!
Keep faith in the system and we shall WIN!
American here living in Canada, vote blue all so I can return back to my country without trump in power. And get rid of the cultists in congress, CLEAN THE HOUSE!
Suzanne, you can help from Canada by voting abroad and helping other Americans that live abroad vote.
Great idea!!!
I'm also stuck overseas and I dream of being able to return someday. I miss my family. I hope someday these people can see through the con.
@@ironclad8093
They are starting to see and once the Biden campaign goes in full swing I believe we will both be able to return home to a democracy.
PLEASE STAY IN CANADA ! ASK ! PAY ! FOR MORE SODOMITES AND DEMOCRATS' TO MOVE TO CANADA ! WHAT A GREAT IDEA ! !!1
I could not properly articulate the current situation in a more concise accurate manner. Thank You!
Ty Simon for always bringing some positive hope.
I'm signing up for the next one! Love to have this community in this difficult time. we are not helpless. VOTE BLUE
Thank you, Simon. Please keep speaking. We need your voice.❤
Bravo!! 👏
Hello Simon please get FOX/ABC/NBC/MSNBC/ etc., to air your breakdowns of Biden’s accomplishments since his Presidency. Also can you please help prep Biden for the debates?
Biden has done an amazing job tbh
Just WOW!
Thanks, I needed that pep talk! 😊😊😊
Wow! Awesome talk!! I am inspired! Hopeful! Ready! Thank you!!
The first 25 minutes of this video should be posted EVERYWHERE!!! Very inspirational. DEMS have a LOT to be proud of. We all need to stand up and make the case for Biden. I agree that it is BECAUSE of his age that he has been able to lead us through hard times. He's made mistakes and learned what works and WHAT DOESN'T. He hasn't been distracted by "shiny objects" or taken the bait to engage when there were other more important things to tend to.
Joe Biden has been dedicated to his family as his first priority - and yet, MAGA has been relentless in their attacks. He reportedly said that neither Hunter nor Ashley would have been harassed if he chosen not to run. He has put EVERYTHING on the line for this country because he knows what is at stake.
I am very grateful and awed by Biden's sacrifice and perseverance.
Thanks, Simon!
All women must band together to vote
for Biden and we can keep our
Democracy and make it Stronger!!!!
🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
step away from Hunters crack pipe
Disregard the bot……..yes women stand together ,don’t let them take your rights away…next Republicans are going for your voting rights, if they get in you won’t know what hit you. Project 25 is real, believe them.
Roevember 💙 🇺🇸🗽
Women will Rock🎶💙Wave 2024 ELECTION ❣️🇺🇸✌️❣️
Do you know any former GOP women voters that will vote Biden? I don't.
As it turns out, I don't know any former GOP women that will vote for Biden. However, I was a lifelong Republican, and thought I was going to die a Republican. Both my father and grandfather were lifelong Republicans. But I became a Democrat in January 2021. And would have done so two months earlier had I realized that one could switch parties online, without an extra risk of getting COVID-19. So I can tell you that there are former GOP men who will vote for Biden so I assume there are also women who will do so, particularly after Roe v Wade being overturned.
It appears to me that Trump is well past his high tide mark of 2016 where he was able to win the election by minus 2.8 million votes. Trump can only win if there are enough people who want a dictatorship, but didn't vote for Trump, but will now vote from Trump because they belated realized that he is a real dictator want-to-be.
Thanks, as always, for the pep up, Simon!
Thank God for Simon Rosenberg!!! VOTE BLUE PEOPLE 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
Biden is the best President since FDR
Obama?
@@michaels5217 unfortunately no Obama wasn’t a great president, he was elected with an FDR mandate but gave us a Rightwing healthcare, he followed Bush policies and governed fascist a neoliberal. No Obama was a good president.
@@michaels5217*While Obama accomplished some great feats as President…Biden’s full list of accomplishments is absolutely incredible in a 4 year span with a Republican controlled House for half of it.*
@@JonStark117 I mean, I'm a fan of both, but between the ACA and arguably inheriting a financial mess worse than Biden and completely turning the economy around (Biden has also done a fantastic job but I give higher marks to Obama for a miraculous turnaround) as well as equality in marriage.... I just have to give Obama the edge. If I could choose between the two to be the next president it wouldn't be a tough choice, Obama without hesitation. Not bashing Biden at all, he's fantastic, I just think Obama was the better president.
@@michaels5217 You are entitled, certainly, because I loved Obama also. The ACA saved me when I needed healthcare. HOWEVER, Joe Biden has tons more experience than Obama (Obama was a little short in government experience) and it really showed during these past 4 years, especially with the pandemic. But, Biden saved the United States TWICE in the last 3 years that no other President could have accomplished since FDR. His incredible knowledge of how to use the system to save small to medium businesses during the pandemic, as well as protect employee wages was the greatest gift this nation has ever known, and is WHY we are so far ahead of the G7 with inflation coming way down. Honestly, Obama was a great guy for civil rights, but Biden has always been the brains combined with experience, with levels of 50 years in Washington that is simply unprecedented. He knows every single capability to get things done, every back road, every strategy, every method, how to coalesce across the aisle, applies every Congressional law, and he uses it along with his administration to rebuild this nation in the best possible way. The problem is ~ he makes it look so easy, that people think he's not doing much. But I will give a $50 gift card to the individual who can accurately tell me the two SAVEs that Biden did to protect our country from catastrophic economic collapse and failure, of which we would be digging ourselves out even now. If Trump were in charge, we would have lost everything and gone over the cliff. If you cannot cite chapter and verse, you need to research these two achievements further before Nov. 5th. What he did was extraordinary and spectacular, but he is not a hornblower and will never enlighten you. You need to realize it for yourself. Not only does Biden believe in the 'power of the people', but he believes in their intellect as well.
It’s as if you reached into my 81 year old brain, unscrambled all my thoughts, and then presented them in the most profound way possible!! Thank you!! I just subscribed and will donate 😀
Thank you for the information. I look forward to life getting back to normal.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Thank you Simon for everything you so for our Democracy 😊
I so appreciate your informative programs. As a beat up Democrat in a family of Trumpublicans I will never vote as a Republican. I totally agree about the Democratic Party. Look how many times we have had to bail out the Republicans, for years. We can do this! We will stand up and fight.
Trump can win ONLY if we Dems and independents grow overconfident and fail to vote. Please, friends, vote as if you and your family depended on it, because you do.
That's what happened in 2016.
We will vote 🔵💙🇺🇲
His mind is definitely more degraded for sure. Listen to the mental health experts on this subject, they are trying to warn people.
MAGA doesn't care what trump does or says.
That's pretty obvious. But Mike Johnson, hmm🤔
not sure what he's up to.
Love hearing you Simon, thank you for what you do!!!
Thank you Simon. Great info
Simon, you have a fantastic reputation. The sense you made here explains it!! Thanks!
thank you! we all need hopium!
Thank you Thank you Simon.
Let's go President Biden. Vote blue or our country and democracy is through
Dear Simon,
You are a true gift sent to us at this time by a power greater than ourselves.
Your words have power and energy and where your focus goes, your energy flows! So we all should focus on Biden winning🇺🇲
All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle - stand in that truth and shine your light! 🌞💛
Regardless of our position, *VOTE **#BLUE* up & down the ballot!! Bring a family member or friend & encourage them to vote with you. Remember to register to vote! 💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊
Honestly the only strategy for reforming our politics is to end Citizens United -- which was the thin end of the wedge in my opinion.
Thank you. I needed to hear that.
Thank you for all of this, especially your Quantum view of polling. This is one NY person who plans on helping NC and PA as much as I can this fall
Canadian here. I’ve been following US politics for a long time. I’ve been so worried for you all since Trump came down the escalator. Thank you, Simon, for your calmness and expertise. Vote blue! ❤
I think Biden’s accomplishments need to be emphasized, from young energetic people picked to go around the country, for starters add Adam Mockler a young man who is a terrific communicator with a successful TH-cam channel. Luke Beasley another one, Pondering Politics is another one. I really think it would reach young people from young people.
I've been saying for a while and now. It's important now more than ever!
Thank you for this positive evaluation of our political situation.
I do need some hopium today
and not just women to vote...the men in the country that support the women they love , their wives, their mothers, their daughters, good friends, ...for all the women in your lives, VOTE BLUE...save women's rights, save women, save the country!
As always… outstanding. Thank you.
Go out and VOTE, you Dems. Us Canucks want you NORMAL.
Thank you Simon for the update. This is a great summary of the current state. It is so disheartening, that it still feels like a Trump win is still likely when everyone knows what he did, stands for, who he is and what his plans are.
Wait until Lichtmann makes his prediction. I think he will most likely get it right. He makes his call in late August. I wonder if Simon knows about him.
That's what the polls said about Hillary in 2016, and we all know what happened then.
Thank you for all the hope you give me. And thank you for your support of Israel in the face of what Hamas did to them on 10/7.
His moral clarity was so refreshing. Yes, it started Oct 7th, no you can't use past events to justify rape and murder, no I'm not going to argue, If You don't like this, You can leave. Simple direct, no argument but a declaration or right and wrong.
This is an excellent video with pertinent points to discuss with voters who are uninformed, confused or on the fence. Also great points for memes. Thanks for you insights and reporting.
I love your optimism. I think we need a new Constitutional Convention. It has happened before. We can't just rely on congress. They won't reform themselves. There are even too many Democrats on the take. There are too many corporations and billionaires trying to influence our government. The average citizen has no voice. I live Oregon, democracy functions here. Our legislature actually met this year and pasted bipartisan legislation. They have tried their tricks and they didn't work because the voters wouldn't let them do their crap. They know the voters won't allow it. Democracy can work.
Yes the great state of Oregon!
🌲🦫 Go Ducks👍
As a Canadian, I have been so concerned for my American friends and family in the US, worrying that first Trump won’t be held accountable for his crimes in recent years and then, that he makes it back into office. Listening to your reasoning about why he won’t win the election in November really helps me feel a great deal less anxious , so thank you! America must overwhelmingly vote BLUE up and down the ballot! So much rides on this!
Thank you very much🙏just listening to you, makes me feel more optimistic🙌we have to win🙌
Thank you Simon! Thank you! I’m fighting too!!
The Meidas Mighty love you!💙💙💙💙💙💙
We must flip the House!
Right on the money! 👍
Thank you Simon! ❤
All this is true, but if most Americans watch Fox News or just get their news from Facebook or TikTok, they see a very different picture. That's why things feel so grim. How do we get people to see reality?
Adam Mockler, who is Gen Z, says social media isn't real life. And you shouldn't assume how Gen Z is going to vote based on social media. Those aren't my words. Those are his words. You forget that 15 youth organizations endorsed Biden this year. This summer, Gen Z activists are doing a summer tour to mobilize their peers all over the country to vote for Biden and the Democrats. Biden is doing better with young voters than you think.
Again, thank you. This is hopeful.
I think you’ll be proven correct Simon. It will feel like 2022 again.
What Terrific Commentary!
Especially on this Memorial Weekend! Thank You!
Thanks for all that you do!
Thank you deeply for this.
Your discernment and integrity shine, and your ability to communicate this important information is profoundly admirable and eliquent.
I respect you so much dear Simon. ✨️ Bless you 🙏

GO VOTE!
Vote 💙 every vote counts. But I must admit it’s depressing to even think of Trump returning to the White House, but no matter what vote for Biden and Democrats down the ballot.
I just discovered that Simon Rosenberg has this program which is great! I love listening to him. He’s so intelligent, intuitive, calm and reasonable. He knows and understands the data. And above all, he gets it right.
I agree with you 100%. What's needed in the Gaza situation is diplomacy. That can happen with a Biden admin. It will never happen with the GOP.
It's like you said everything I'm thinking
25:00
Thank you for recognizing that, Simon. Truly appreciative of that. Brought a tear to my eye.
Thank you!!!
Our democratic leaders should drive home the point that WE stand for expanding the Supreme Court. It should be right up there with defending democracy. The Supreme Court should be a strong issue for the Democrats.
He needs to talk more about the boarder too. Drive home how trump killed the bill that both parties had agreed upon - just so he could run on it!
Thank you for everything you do for democracy Simon. Love your show. Thanks for giving me hope and cheering me up.
I’m with you Simon, Hamas has been good with the propaganda machine and unfortunately people are buying it.
I watched this video --- I'm an educator who researches education --- all systems --- By the end of the video I KNEW how this person was educated --- I ran to look him up --- sure enough Waldorf - I was right - Would that we in education get that the interweaving of moral development along with education is critical for creating humans who function with the highest levels of empathy. And Simon --- your voice is more critical than the sporadic releases you do ---- you are a voice that NEEDS to be repetitively heard --- I hope you release with greater frequency during this critical election year.
I just heard your unequivocal condemnation of making some sort of an equivocal line between Israel and Hamas. Toda Rabah!! You are a mensch in every way and you are shining light on the world. Thank you.
This was excellent commentary!!! I am also very optimistic!! I really believe in America, and believe Americans will do the right thing, the American thing!! Thank you for this. You perfectly, and meaningfully put things into perspective. 🇺🇲💪❤️
I try to listen to u every chance i gets a breath of fresh air.,voting blue up and down the ballot joe biden 2024 ❤
We need to shout from the roof tops,megaphone
Simon said it well with “we just need to do the work.”
Folks donate if you can. If you have time volunteer for the phone, text and letter writing banks.
There’s voter registration phone banks going on now ahead of the election.
Awesome 😎 thanks
Thank you, Simon. You really put my heart at ease. I love being a democrat always have been keep doing your Angel work.😊
Thank you, I really needed to hear that message!!
We shouldn't be happy that we're producing more oil.
I would rather die on my feet, than live on my knees. I love that quote & I live by it. I don’t intimidate & I will vote blue for all candidates.
Unfortunately this is how Palestinians feel for the past decades - and Israel hasn’t given them another path out.
Go blue! Go Democracy! 💙🇺🇸💙
I agree. His age is an asset bc he knows how to take care of himself, has a strong and supportive family, makes good choices most of the tine , has tons of experience and surrounds himself not with idiot loyalists but with smart skilled experienced people who value our democracy
Thanks for the hope
VOTE FOR JOE, NOT THE PSYCHO
I’m a 50 yr old entry level postal worker with a B.S. in Environmental Engineering, and more debt than assets, including a 15 year old student loan. I am also a lifelong Democrat and thoroughly agree with your analysis of the threat MAGA represents with Trump. I agree spiritually with your description of American democracy FDR helped to usher in. Our economy today is the best I’ve seen in my 35 years of working, and after decades of low inflation, what we’ve seen has been a long time coming. Nobody could’ve stopped it, only manage it.
That said, 50 years into a concerted effort by the decadent rich to lie and steal from those less fortunate has shrunk the middle class, and the resultant corruption had already stolen our democracy, more so for those of us working harder every day just to stay out of poverty. One paycheck away from homelessness.
I’m writing this as a warning to those of you who take away from this video a belief that all we have to do is get back to where we were and life for everyone will be wine and roses. I voted for Bernie before I voted for Biden, and that was before Trump got infamous from Birtherism. The Great Recession, jobs going to China, and the Iraq war were the source of great dissolution that gave us the three way divide killing us today. Two groups of which are unwilling to admit that the choice we are faced with is Capitalism or democracy, but you can’t have both.
Those who have been doing well want to blame the ignorant and lazy. Those who have been continually frustrated by a failure to attain the comfort of wealth (aka the American dream) blame everyone but themselves, and then there are those of us who bought in long enough to know the rat race is killing us, which we have now witnessed is truly upon us.
In short, my fear is I’m saving the broken system that gave us Trump when I desperately vote for Biden. But the change we need won’t come from stopping MAGA. We need to be honest that what we had only gave us a glimpse of what is possible when freedom, cooperation and opportunity are universally applied.
I’m sure most of anyone who reads this will disregard my words as impractical socialist utopian dribble, but when you do so, and then see another MAGA maniac running and winning in 2028, consider that MAGA, or Bernie Bros, aren’t the real problem, just a symptom of your unwillingness to see Capitalism is incompatible with democracy.
Thank you for giving us some hope. 😊
