STOP SAYING BERNIE BROS - HOW IS THAT STILL A THING? Bernie supporters are way more diverse and more progressive.
agreed. it pisses me off every time i hear it.
I'm a Bernie "Bro" and I'm voting for Gary Johnson
#FeeltheJohnson
Drakewood I will most likely be voting for him because jill stein isn't on the ballot in the state i live in and they don't count write in votes here so i will back him in hopes of a 3rd party getting 5%
I am so sick of the undeserved underhanded slaps at Bernie Sanders who is clearly the smartest of all these clown out there. It is simply obvious to all thinking Americans that our system is broken and screwed up because of runaway classism and corruption based in the 0.01% and every year we do not acknowledge that it festers and becomes harder to change. At some point the US is going to be like China or Russia if we are not already.
+justgivemethetruth I agree
If you're a Bernie supporter voting for Trump than you were only in love with his persona and not his message. That's the very definition of a Bernie Bro. Congrats.
Feel the Johnson 3===D
+A Glass of Orange Juice Funny. Not once have I ever heard Bernie or any of his supporters use the word "rebellion." What they have used is the word "revolution" Bernie is systemically opposed to everything trump stands for. Putting Trump in office won't cause a revolution. It won't even cause your delusional rebellion. It will simply put the far right-wing, radical religious in power who will then put supreme court justices that will bring the country backwards with harmful policies that could affect the country for the next century. But you didn't think about that now did you Bernie Bruh (is that better)?
And voting for HIllary just becasue she is a woman is the definition of cunt, congrats.
Totally agree with you...
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.....
I cannot find the quote I wish to find, but, in looking I found some others....some by those who are old.....
They all basically give the same message(s):
If you vote for the 'necessary' evil, then you are to blame for perpetuating such a dysfunctional political system.....Time for change is NOW........
Choosing of the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.....
So, some of us Bernie supporters who will now support Trump will do so for this reason: We realize change only comes through radical means. Therefore choosing the most ridiculous President will bring the necessary level of dissatisfaction that we hope will produce the affect necessary to bring about real change. To vote for the lesser evil is an apathetic and ignorant choice........fuck that!!!!
BTW...here are some of those quotes:
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ~Richard Armour
Hell, I never vote for anybody, I always vote against. ~W.C. Fields
All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field. ~Albert Einstein
Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right. ~H.L. Mencken
No they would be voting against the establishment. I don't agree with voting for Trump but the more you continue the Bernie Bro myth (Even when every study showed Hillary supporters to be far more aggressive) the more I can see people voting fro Trump.
I WILL NOT VOTE FOR HILLARY....
you couldn't torture me or pay me enough to ever vote for that vile piece of shit.
We know
Drumpf / Hitler 2017
Who cares.
Start working on a bunker then.
VOTE VERMIN SUPREME OR OBAMA AGIAN!!!
BILL MAHER GET LIBERTARIAN AND GREEN PARTY CANDIDATES ON YOUR SHOW. At least 3 appearances before November please Jill stein needs more publicity.
Gary Johnson is going to be on next week.
+Toxic0788 Johnson is a much better option than Stein...
+Hillary Smokedham Klinton Dr. Stein can't even win Gubernatorial or even Mayoral elections. She has no business running for POTUS.
This year is a great opportunity to shake up the Two-party system, but only if we vote smart. Dr. Stein is not a smart choice.
Excellent, but after seeing Johnson on the CNN townhall (and other places) I was really impressed with Weld (his running mate)
+BENYJOSE1 This ain't that the year to be messing with fire. A trump presidency is too risky for the stability of the world. If he becomes president, I see a worldwide embolden of nationalist sentiment. You already see it with Brexit.
It's surreal to see the contrast between reasonable people like Michael Steele and the current republican horror cabinet.
i'd love to have the opportunity to vote for Michael Steele rather than the corrupt establishment HRCandidate, but the Repubs chose an idiot instead of a really thoughtful man.
Hollis Evon Ramsey
Well... they had to pick between 17 people of which more than half were idiots.
And isn't being head of the RNC kinda being "establishment" ?
Anyway ... I can respect Michael Steele for being a politician who listens, applies reasons and make real arguments.
That's becoming rarer and rarer in politics.
i know right. If the democrats put up a Trump= someone who retweets "81% of white homicides come at the hands of black people"- a racist fake stat spread by a hate group to purposefully misinform people about race and the threat minorities pose to white people- and the right put up Michael Steele, I would vote Republican.
+zeiters20 Yeah cause having a differing opinion makes you stupid :3
president comacho
Well... The only other candidate to such a title I can think of is Bob Inglis.
... actually. He might be the only respectable republican politician nowadays.
shout out to that Martinez kid, 16 and held his own. keep doin what you're doin my man.
This might be the last episode of Real Time I watch, Bill has obviously jumped into bed with Hillary.
***** It amazes me how Bill just seems not to give a rat's ass that Obama's own Inspector General said she was breaking the law. If you or I or anyone other than someone with 'Clinton' for a last name did what she did with her email server, we would be spending the rest of our lives in prison. Leaks from Assange are coming very soon, if Bill continues to ignore the facts just because he's friends with the Clintons he loses his liberal credentials. They will be replaced with a golden pass to the Clintoncrat party.
Jogoh Luther It is not about Bernie as has been stated many times. It is about a large voting block (fancy term is a 'movement') of a size that needs to a reckoned with. He wants to take it to the convention to show a sizeable presence. This gives the entire Democratic membership an opportunity to 'make a point' vote and then on the second ballot everybody votes for H.C. There is no need for them to campaign against each other. Waste of resources.
Don't worry, Trump will self-destruct soon.
Jogoh Luther Hillary is a weak candidate, I'll bet you a bottle of top shelf rum that she loses to Trump in November.
His agenda against Trump has ruined any credibility he has to say about Hillary, or politics in general. It is blatant and obvious Maher is still butt hurt by Trump suing him.
Yeah that's my view too - I like that Bernie ran & energized liberals, but I see too many of them talking about trying to get clever with ballot-splitting or going third party "to send a message" when the task is "shutting down a global proto-fascist right wing resurgence."
am i the only one who that that guy was a women till he started talking
I still think she is a woman after hearing her speak, a misinformed woman to boot
Why cause he has long hair? You're an idiot.
drinny26 no because he didn't have facial hair
Wait till he rips your heart out and shows it you in the last two seconds of your useless life. He is half Aztec for god's sake! ;)
He is a beautiful man.
I can't believe it ends with "suck it up it's not that bad" in referring to Hillary. The democrats are doomed. as they say, the jig is up.
+Ed West 12:23 She was referring to how Hillary should suck it up and have press conferences despite not liking the questions that will be asked.
well to be fair she seemed to be suggesting that politicians with an aversion to speaking with journalists on the hill should "suck it up" and answer a few questions, not that the electorate should begrudgingly accept Clinton as the nominee.
That wasn't what she meant. Stop looking for things to shake your fist over and listen to what people are saying.
I'd predict Clinton will still win by a large amount. However, I find it rather hard to take pride in the idea of democracy being "Sure our candidate sucks, but their candidate is so godawful and terrifying that we still won". I believe we should aim at least a little bit higher.
Talk about Jill Stein and see if Hillary can debate against her. It would be more embarrassing than the Bernie debates.
+Hillary Smokedham Klinton Are you saying Bernie, who has been on Bill's show, isn't a true progressive?
+Toxic0788 he put Bernie on the show back in June also. And con't to invite him 2 other times . But he did pull a typical regressive Democrat move by saying he was confused by Bernie Sanders speech. It was clear he would only support, if Hillary promises to move left to gain his voters. We aren't his pets we need her to earn our vote, not tell us to get in line. We are smart enough to know Jill Stein is our safety net.
Dr. Stein's campaign for POTUS is almst as insulting to the American people as Carly Fiorina's. If you can't win Gubernatorial or even Mayoral races, then it is an act of delusion to aim higher.
I believe that this year can kill the GOP and elevate a 3rd Party, but only if people vote smart. Johnson 2016!
+Rafael Reyes A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump. Follow Sanders and be rational.
If you are "smart" enough to view Dr. Stein as safety net for POTUS, then I sincerely question your judgment.
Hi Bill--what a great gift for me having Xiuhtezcatl on your show on my birthday! I've been following him since he was 6! He & his group just lift this old environmentalist's heart so much I'm getting ready to be one of the adult supporters of a group where I now live! For half a century--I was just a voice in the wilderness--these kids ROCK!
Wow, a DC 'journalist' belittling Bernie and calling his supporters "Bernie Bros" and bashing Elizabeth Warren while implying Hillary isn't popular because of how smart she is.
How unique.
Bill Clinton an asset? Have you seen how good he is at making Bernie voters not vote for Hillary? Also have you seen his ability to commit electioneering in states like Massachusetts and not get prosecuted?
BillClinton, more of an ass than asset😂
WTF is "commit electioneering?" Repugs are dumber every day. Electioneering is an old term which means "The practice of working actively to secure votes for a candidate in an election." It's not a crime, idjit--even if Bill Clinton does it! I will never understand the venomous jealousy the right has for the Clintons. What you all say just shows the huge empty vacuum devoid of facts, education, information, research, and knowledge that exists in between your ears. Whenever a former President tries to secure votes without getting prosecuted for it ought to be a good thing!
I don't know if you are aware of this and just trying to deny the truth, or if your vacuous mind has managed to avoid letting the factual world make any impression on you, but all the cases in the U.S. that dealt with election fraud, voter suppression, etc, have been cases of Republicans trying to cheat. No Dems have been prosecuted or convicted for any election crimes. Republicans in Arizona and elsewhere have pretended to register Democrats and in fact destroyed any registration other than as Republicans. They falsely registered people as Repubs. They have bought billboards telling people false information on dates, places, documents required to vote, etc. They have called people to tell them polling places were changed when they weren't. They have even offerred to drive voters to the polls but failed to appear. All this is illegal over and above the suppression created by closing polls on and near campuses, refusing to allow students to register where they go to college--and now banning them from absentee ballots as well! So to vote, students may have to fly or drive across the country to the home of parents instead of voting where they actually live, sleep, eat, and pay rent. Minority voters who are older are finding polls where they have voted for 50 or 60 years or more demanding birth certificates to vote. Which certificates are often unavailable because the people were born at home, or city clerks offices have burned down in the 70 or 80 years that have passed since the birth...and finally, birth certificates can cost up to $100 to order, a crazy expense for some elderly voters....all of these reasons exactly why Repubs enacted the requirements! If you cannot win votes on the merits of your arguments, then win by cheating--destroying ballots, blocking voting, lying,......even lying about black voters appearing in all white New England counties and voting then disappearing--spreading stories of fraud by Dems that NEVER EVER proved to be true.
The Secretary of State in Ohio gauranteed a Republican victory in 2004, and then closed voting places and sent voting machines from precincts in urban and college areas with high turn-outs historically, and sent them where turn-out is much lower. This caused 8 hour and longer waits to vote in cities and near colleges in the rain--obviously hurting Democratic candidates. We saw it on the News.... old Ken Blackwell should have spent years in prison for denying people the right to vote. He was following what Jeb Bush had pulled in Florida in 2000, hiring a firm who said they were told to cleanse the voter rolls of names of felons and others who are not supposed to vote, "erring on the side of removing names of legal voters rather than leaving voters who should not be there." Women who were legal voters aged 29 were denied the vote because their first initial and last name matched a felon who was male and 60 years old! This happ;ened many times--always to remove Al Gore's voters and preserve G.W. Bush's voters.
When they tried to count votes, a planeful of male staffers went from the Repub Speaker of the House' office in Washington invaded the Florida clerk's offices, stomping feet, pounding on walls and doors and chanting and yelling to scare elderly vote counters--who finally locked doors and left, too frightened to count ballots. Playing into the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court who stopped any count beyond a certain date in spite of the Florida Supreme Court's order to proceed with counting. A shameful mark on our nation's history, worthy of 1933 Germany! Of course the U.S. Supremes de-certified the opinion and warned lower courts never to use the opinion as stare decisis. And Black Box Voting filmed people locating ballots and Clerks' signatures on counts in dumpsters in alleys while boxes and boxes of ballots sat on shelves uncounted. This is why Putin offered to send election monitors to assist us getting a fair count.... And remember--there are no cases of Dems cheating to win...
Bill Clinton was a great president that is an asset
For the reason they just mentioned. He was popular with wealthy white males when he was president. Entertaining this group particularly when he and Hillary are huge supporters of Wall Street and the banks is most certainly an asset.
When Bill Clinton was president, the country created 16 Million Full Time jobs. Under his successor, Bush 43, the country created 2 Million Full Time jobs. Bill Clinton is definitely an asset in an election-that's why the Democrats bring him out every campaign.
They might as well have had an empty seat on the panel instead of Larry Wilmore.
It would have been funnier then Larry is.
racist
Drumpf / KKK 2017
Since when did saying that Larry Wilmore isn't funny constitute "racism", you babbling moron?
When ANY critique to the noble black man is grounds to scream out RACISM by virtue signaling regressive tools, yeah, I guess that I'm just a tad upset. Just a tad.
Superior writing skills, that's all.
Hearing even one single person applaud for Hillary Clinton from the crowd makes me want to puke. Is my problem pathological? Do they even know what they're applauding for?
+TheWaffenSS7 I'm guessing you don't watch the show much. Bill's audience has been pretty pro-Bernie. Just because that aren't the butthurt, "I'll never vote for Killary!" type doesn't mean they are Clinton shills.
What did this woman do to you guys? The alternative is a racist PIG, the color of ham!
No. No she's not.
Leo Roberts Hillary Clinton supporting Netanyahu's bombing of Palestinian civilians isn't racist though right? And it's not a problem for you either that she supported removing the Assad regime in Syria which resulted in 200 thousand civilian deaths? Donald Trump saying "We should go after their families" is RACIST; Hillary Clinton ACTUALLY going after their families is fine: pro Hillary logic. Hillary supporters sound WAY more stupid to me than Trump supporters, by far. It's not even close. Literally the only thing you have to say for yourself is "Durrhhh, I'm voting Hillary because Trump is orange."
So, it was her and her alone? No other politicians got involved? All these things were part of her nefarious plans to destroy the planet! She sounds like an evil witch only a child could conjure up in his silly imagination. She is no different than any other seasoned, successful politician in Washington. You can find legislation and policy that she was part of that helped humanitarian efforts, but it is way more fun to cherry pick information and make a career politician look like the devil. Trump is a true threat. He is like a chimpanzee with a gun. If you can't see that, you have not been paying attention. You also don't give a flying fuck about those poor brown people you claim mean ol' Hillary hurt. What do you think Trumps policies will be for immigration? His foreign policy? How do think those people will do under a Trump presidency? When world leaders are concerned that this buffoon might become leader of the free world, so should you.
This was probably one of the more civilized panels.
I don't agree with Michael Steele on a lot of political issues, but I really like him as a guest on the show. He always seems rational and friendly, making arguments instead of just reciting talking points and buzzwords. We need more rational debate and less teenage ball-punching contests.
Bill Maher often has that same condescending ways as Biil O'Reilly. HUGE difference being Maher is so often correct, buuuuuut sometimes NOT.
For instance: Hillary press conference Bullshit?? Sorry Mr. Maher, NOT.
he usually lets his guests finish their thoughts before jumping in. i think that's an unfair comparison. i mean if the devil existed it would run from O'Reilly.
I disagree. I think he has too strong a stance against Islam, but I find Bill's program an authentic intelligent dialogue. Watching his show is the only open debate available. He has a bias and his guests do as well, but he always sticks up for the far right guests so that the dialogue can remain open. No other show does that; if there are others, let me know.
Bill Maher's Real Time probably does have the most freely expressed different view points and banter
+Mark Balog
I agree most of the time. I think that it can be intelligent and authentic, but sometimes it feels like he needs to devolve any conversation that requires depth and nuance into a joke. I find that most conversations need to flow through Maher's lens or they are dismissed entirely. That may be because of his format, but it makes for a show that has a lot of potential, but really only scratches the surface of very important issues.
His stance on Islam is more than a little strong, but it is what it is.
Stephen Colbert can often be seen going "vacation Dad" on his audience when they turn on the guest. The most recent one being when he had Bill O'Reilly on last week.
Vacation Dad = "Don't make me turn this car around!"
"How do we make bling sustainable". Love it, best line of the whole show. That kid is great.
Xiuhtezcatl is such an awesome kid!
Yo Larry, you did it ma nigga!
larry wilmore is garbage
Mindless thoughts seem to come easy to you (see profile picture). Larry is funny, and I'm happy he came at Obama about GitMo, but the fact that the BLM movement claims to hate racism then turns around and constantly uses the word as a term of endearment. It doesn't affect me one way or another, but it is just so dumb and should be phased out, but with this line of thinking, clearly that's too much to ask.
A race baiting hack.
+Uncle Tom lol it was a fucking joke idiot. I wasn't trying to conjure-up a point to argue with random people on a CZcams comment section of a TV show.
The demagogue or the crook, that is the question.
"Bill you smell amazing what is that you're wearing?"
"Shillary for men" - Bill Maher
"That's funny, it smells just like shit."
Smells like dirty money.
Smells like 16 Million Full Time jobs created during Bill Clinton's two terms. Then Bush came in and only created 2 Million Full Time jobs. We need more of what Bill Clinton can do and a lot less of what the Republicans have to "offer".
lol, nice!
are you aware that Bill and Hillary slashed welfare programs, deregulated wall street, passed tough on crime bills, and taken millions from big banks and oil giants? If so that is fine. Most people don't know she is a corporatist and a militarist. She has been accurately described as a moderate republican who is a war hawk.
Hey my man Xiuhtezcatl, I´m Mexican and I think your are Mexican heriatge. Good for you for what you stand for, and I loved it the way you handled it. I´m with you 100%, and if you need someone for your project I´m here.
we are indeed active, Xiuh we got this!
I never clicked so fast in my life than when I saw Larry Wilmore on the panel!
Michael Steele, please - blink twice if you want out of your commitment to the Republican party. We're here for you.
Why? He's the epitome of a self-loathing black man. They can keep him.
Any time a black person isnt an obnoxious liberal that embodies every negative stereotype, they hate themselves...Lol. It's plain as day who the real racists are!
@don FRYE are u insinuating that this whole time blacks have been the true racists and whites the true victims? Lol wow we've been fooled.... Fuckin dumbass
na george No, I'm insinuating that white liberals are the true racists, promoting self destructive cultural norms to the black community with the soft bigotry of low expectations. White liberals use the black community for virtue signaling without actually giving a single fuck about them. Many in the community are becoming increasingly aware of this fact. The DNC plantation politics that promote an eternal doctrine of victimization won't last forever.
I'm so still feeling the Bern and I'm pretty sure I forever will.
that kid is just pouring idealism and energy Lol I love it
Xiuhtezcatl is the only one in this crowd who has a clue.
Keep it up Shoe. 👍
Yeah lol, he is a millennial leader that can convince those Sanders supporters to jump on the Hillary train.
+Antonio Cabrera I think she sucks. But realistically she's definitely better than Trump.
"FOOL!" Love your avatar :)
Shoo Cat sounds like ALEXANDER HAMILTON -- he talks like hes running out of time (and he's only 16!).
She?? I thought Shoe was a he?
I can't wait for both conventions. Best TV and live feed ever! Run to the hills!!!!
+hisigorness The Republican convention will be better than wrestling.
The X-kid knows when to talk and when to listen. A skill more adults need to develope.
bill was so hard on that kid in the first interview. let him live, damn
i thought that interview was great. i wouldn't want Bill to go easy on him because he was a kid. and that kid had smart answers.
He wasn't hard on him he was condescending first saying that only 2% of young people care/know what is going on when his generation built this & profited off of it then saying oh well you have an i phone so you are all set what are you complaining about you should spend less time on that thing that's the answer when if you don't have that type of communication you are basically in solitary confinement because of the way the World now functions=has been framed by the older people what he wants them to do is watch the mainstream to get his news/history because he's trying to keep this sick system of corruption going I don't believe he is unaware of how he words things he knows exactly what he is doing like making fun of his name constantly degrading which degrades him/his heritage, disgusting he wonders why younger people don't want to listen to the older people really? Because they build this mess & now look down to the people they are leaving in their SHIT to clean it up all hey what's your problem kid(or whatever your name is=see I'm being Bill isn't it nice, NO) just pull your bootstraps up & turn into a slime ball & you can be successful just like me paying immigrants to mow your lawn that was another sick joke so he really wants immigrants because what otherwise he would have to pay someone a livable wage to take care of his property, clean his home etc. he wants the people who will work as slaves which is not good for immigrants.
Using the Barrack vs Hillary primary as a proxy to judge how the losing candidates supporters will vote this time around is so stupid.. Bernie is way different than Hillary, and his supports care about policy; there were much fewer policy differences between Hillary and Obama.
This was a great episode of Overtime. The manner in which the panel engaged each other and asking questions was really refreshing. Thanks Real time for this web extra.
"...over the whole Bernie thing". Like having multiple candidates, you know, democracy, is a "thing" to be gotten over. Where does he get some of these people.
Cinton Foundation saving lives? Shell company for quid pro quo
Not just lives - millions of lives! What an asshole the Clinton surrogate is!
clinton foundantion profits off lives
+Tony Stockell you can download all their financial filings so feel free to prove your baseless accusation. You would win a Pulitzer price if you could find something, but I am inclined to believe you are just going to write more lies all the way until the election.
D Alexander I can sell you a hammer for 50 bucks, make a record of it, bill of sale etc. But only you and me know that 50 bucks is actually for a gram of cocaine to be swapped later, take your naive ass somewhere and learn how the world works grasshopper.
D Alexander
Because the truth is to be found in "financial filings?" I am assuming you are not that naive.
The rumors of Bernie's demise are greatly exaggerated.
+Vicki AB No, sadly they're not. Bernie has said it himself, Hillary is the presumptive nominee. He's even been on CNN mentioning an attempt at a cabinet seat. On top of that, he joined the sit-in and is now espousing for further eroding our constitution. Basically, the DNC has made him into their bitch.
+nycpeopleareidiots
Remember me and my prediction next November. I predict HRC and Drumpf will be rendered unelectable at the conventions. This is not Bernie's first rodeo--he is a master politician with a stellar moral compass. He knows there is a lot of fluidity (what with election fraud and FBI scandals etc.) before the conventions, so he is waiting to see how the convention shakes out. We all should be waiting to see what the situation is AFTER the conventions. Bernie has been working across BOTH aisles (D and R--Bernie is an Independent) pursuing social and economic fairness for decades. He's been one of the most productive and progressive representatives of We the People EVER. He is so brilliant and effective, a casual observer would mistakenly underestimate his yuge power. Bernie is crazy--like a fox! In November, see if you don't look back and marvel how "lucky" Bernie and the Progressives were. ;)
+nycpeopleareidiots
She IS the presumptive nominee. So what? He stated the obvious facts that exist now. He hasn't conceded anything, and he hasn't gratuitously damaged the Dem Party (even though they savaged him). "Presumptive" means "assumed." Right now, if nothing changes, we all assume she'll be the Dem nominee. Between now and the end of the conventions, however, much could happen to change our minds and our presumptions. HRC quoted Maya Angelou: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them." Drumpf and HRC have shown us their true characters these past months--they're lying, cheating con-persons. Bernie showed HIS true colors, too--he is a principled effective politician loyal to his constituents. These reveals may change many voters' minds. As HRC said when running against Obama, RFK was assassinated and that changed THAT presumptive process. Looming scandals and prosecutions are hanging over HRC and Drumpf. Do you think Nixon would have gotten President if a Watergate-sized scandal surfaced when HE was the presumptive nominee? You think the USA would dump a president for a scandal, but Hillary or Drumpf wouldn't be dumped (and toxic) for a scandal exposed BEFORE the general election? So much can (and will) happen. Bernie's got this . . . he's on the side of our better Angels. He has been fighting for the 99% his whole life. He is fair and just and trustworthy. That's why I'm with him.
Vicki AB
When a candidate publicly states his opposition is going to be the nominee, I'll chose to take a realist approach. You can remain optimistic all you want, but this, as you stated about Bernie, isn't my first "rodeo." I've seen this happen time and time again. If you're holding on for an indictment, or some magical force to come swooping down and switch the nomination to his direction, you're going to be disappointed. Maybe it's time to drop the idolization of Bernie, and face the music. While he's been a great source for the people's voices to be heard, he isn't a Senator Wellstone.
+nycpeopleareidiots
Do you live in NYC? Just askin. First, I don't believe you quoted Bernie accurately without me seeing a clip of him saying it--please provide. Second, in just this one brief reply to me, you misrepresented me (and talked down to me), so I hardly think you'd be a reliable source as to what anyone said on CNN. Third, 6 months ago your whole clan of "rational" supremacists were cackling derisively at those warning that Drumpf could be president. I find that the gestalt of right brain + left brain is far more effective than viewing everything with half a brain . . . but that's just lil ole gurly emotional intuitive fairy dust me. Wait until November and we'll see who's more prescient: me or the rational half of your brain..!.,
Regarding the interview with Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, (Kudos to this young man) Mexico is not South America, it is part of Central America, and geographically really, North America.
Yep I caught that South America flub also
This kid is going to go far, and will be a force to reckon with
Shoe reminds me of Zack De La Rocha
"If we don't take action now
We'll settle for nothing later
We settle for nothing now
And we'll settle for nothing later" -
Zack de la rocha
Xiuhtezcatl Martinez rocks!! What an amazing kid ...Thank you for taking up this cause!
Way to go Mr. Martinez, standing up for your fellow young adults! I remember when I was 16 and people thought I was an exception--I just happened to be the one 16 year-old they knew! Teenagers are truly young adults--adults that happen to be young. and they tend to be more mature and responsible because they haven't become jaded and cynical yet.
The people that say rap is all about bling and materialism did not pay attention to conscious rap or the stop the violence movement of the late 80's and early 90's. So blame Kanye for doing the type of music that the mainstream corporations think will sell.
+Damon Patterson Public Enemy > Kanye West.
The bling bling is what is famous and most people know about rap worldwide. That is what is perpetuated by mainstream corporations and rappers go along to have their bling bling. Want it to stop? stop supporting it .
+redlightmax grandmaster flash and the furious 5> kanye west
rap and that aspect of black culture is ultimately a twisted mirrored view of staunch consumer capitalism. Money above all.
True people need to realize that there are rappers like common, immortal technique and many others...you just need a little research and not just blindly follow the corporate music industry and you can find some deep meaningful messages about society tho nothing is wrong with just tuning out with some dumbass migos or future shit once in a while lol
I came here for the native american kid and I ended up hearing a bunch of bs about Hillary. How could you speak up for the environment and support Hillary at the same time Bill?
and Bernie Bros? WTF IM A WOMAN AND I SUPPORT BERNIE
so what.
so what.
DUH!
Especially with all the money she takes from oil rich countries!
I wish more kids were like this one. He is awesome.
I like that little shot at Elizabeth Warren from Ms. Woodruff at the end there. An establishment "reporter" disparaging an anti-establishment politician with unsubstantiated accusations is just priceless. And frankly, exactly what true liberals have come to expect from the media over the years.
Ok that guy is the walking definition of androgynous
why because he has long proud aztec hair?
Mario Areas-Molina No, b/c he could pass as a female >.
You do realize he is a 16 yr old boy right?
Mario Areas-Molina Since when do 16yr old boys look like girls? Lmao
Lmao , I think you want to jump this little boys bones. I am pretty sure he just eats healthy and is slime, has long hair . He will hit a second stage of puberty and "man" out lol.
When Michael Steele comes off the most sensible you know you've just watched a duff episode. That kid looks and acts like the Disney Channel's idea of a tween social activist, and Paul Begala is a partisan drama queen. Bill and Larry are two old hacks who still think that they're too cool for school.
When we all now the cool guy from that generation is LARRY DAVID
Spot on
Gilbert Gottfried. But I'm a sick puppy.
I didn't realize that the smart kid was a dude until he spoke
Besides the MOST IMPORTANT issue, that the Young Man is striving for, don't forget the best, and most important quote about Bernie Sanders....."He stirred up some shit."
God Bless You Senator. As time ticks away, You will be remembered for what You have done. We Love You Bernie.
I thought Xiu was a girl for the first 5 mins
I felt the same way.
its guy? I really wasn't quite sure.
hes a guy with long hair.
You get the feeling that his Mom is really, really seriously hot.
ikr!
my dick was confused.
The woman from the Daily Beast seems smug
"there's a lot of people we can focus on that aren't kanye" XD
How does a political analyst NOT understand that Bernie Sanders was running on policy... and he is still running on policy
I like the kid he seems cool and really smart but I don't think his ideas are revolutionary or anything. People have said what he's said before.
I just thought he was annoying and cliched.
This kid is awesome, and he can be a role model for most millennials who still feel uncertain about their future .
+Antonio Cabrera yes he is great and smart but I'm only 17 and have the same thoughts and ideas as him on my mind. I know many children my age who talk and think about politics, some liberal some conservative. What I'm trying to say is this kid is a role model and everything but other teens have the same thoughts
+FortuitusVideo I think you might be an idiot
+Nathaniel Berry yeah, and I'm 16, about to be 17 and think about the same exact issues, but this kid has the power of being on TV and having the attention of a large audience, so I'm saying he would be a great role model for those teens who are more uncertain about their future than you or me.
Jump on the Gary Johnson 2016 ticket. Independent party libertarian. Fiscal responsibility, social liberties..
They support wall street though
A country where married gays defend their pot farms with automatic weapons. He's got my vote.
Jonathan Rose where in my comment did I endorse Hillary?
...which is a de facto Trump vote. Take a look at the Nader run in 2000, as well as the Brexit Leave protest voters.
I'm not sure if you were previously a Bernie supporter, but if you were, Gary Johnson and Bernie do not align on any issues besides social issues and possibly trade. But Johnson's economic ideas those of the standard republican and then some. Jill Stein may be the person you want.
THANK YOU, MAHER - A TRUE CORNELL HISTORY MAJOR . . . .
Such an inspiring and articulate young man. Good luck with your Supreme Court challenge!
it's not just rap everything has a material culture. Look at Bill Mahers house. Jesus. Everyone is the problem.
It's about the culture of consumption.
...cloaked in the robes of American entitlement at the altar of capitalism.
Deb LA and of course it isn't even capitalism. We have a highly protectionist market. We subsidize the costs and privatize the profits.
+Phillip Griffin I would go further than that, the failures are socialized and the profits are privatized.
You would like Noam Chomsky's ideas. The newest documentary from him is on netflix called "requiem for the american dream".
Surprised to see Larry Wilmore is still has a show. I stopped watching shortly after it started. Every episode sounded like, "black black black black black black." Doesn't look like he's really changed.
Good old Larry and his merry band of SJW hipsters throw the race card with wild abandon. The thing that amuses me most is how NOBODY on his writing staff is an American black, just self hating whites. But they can certainly SPEAK for the black man now, can't they. And if I go see Cal, will you sell me a used car today?
Xiuhtezcatl (which sound awesomely aztecish) - I am your new fan. Keep the throttle all the way down. Kudos.
I teach high school and I gotta say, we need more youth like Xiuhtezcatl. If he in any way represents the next generation I'm optimistic about our future. The world 50 years from now with people like that leading it will be a far better place.
That Martinez kid is a FRAUD. He doesn't actually say anything.
What did you want him to say? He is just there to raise awareness for teens/young college students. My guess is he accomplished this on some level. He can only answer the questions asked in an interview.
I kind of agree. It's easy to bolster your argument on the straw man.
"I've spoke to hundreds of people that want to live on the sun. It's a huge movement for my generation."
What were they talking about again? I forgot after about the 20th platitude, and about him being just "16", and so full of stupid...
It is a much happier life not trying to bring people down who are putting in an effort even if they achieve nothing.
He sounds like a good kid to me. And unlike many adults, he knows when to talk and when to listen.
Hey how did Hillary's campaign work out?
If Hillary would be able to answer those "stupid questions", she'd hold a press conference, let alone a final debate, let alone release her transcripts.
Xiuhtezcatl Martinez is one sophisticated individual ... one to watch.
"In all likelihood, it will be Hillary Clinton," - Bernie Sanders on voting for Hillary.
True Bernie Sanders will vote for Hillary Clinton. If you don't then you are just a waste of his time. #Bernie
U are clueless.
James Reeno Bernie's own mouth. #duh
u wot m8? didn't read gud in skool so now u vote like a sheeple, read the fine print. Derrrr.
Many people voted for Ralph Nader as a protest. As a result, we would up with George W. Bush instead of Al Gore.
Anyone who thinks about voting for Bernie Sanders or about not voting should think about history.
Bush was horrible. Perhaps one of the worst Presidents ever.
Trump could be a lot worse.
I understand voting for someone you believe in and their policies. On the other hand, when the result of your vote is to allow someone like George W. Bush to wind up being president, it is not a good idea.
The Gore-Bush race was so close. if one percent of those people who voted for Nader would have voted for Gore, we could have avoided eight years of Bush, including a second war against Iraq.
Though I favor Bernie Sanders’ ideas, I have not supported him, because I know that the GOP hate machine would have ripped him apart in the general election. He would have been painted a communist because of his socialist views.
I liked the self-correction on 'millions of kids', when in reality he's lying his ass off about any numbers. He's 16, how much of the world do you really think he's seen or been to? Not trying to discredit him, but his whole enthusiasm for wanting to change the world is largely based upon pure ignorance and social-economic unrealism. Climate change to some extent is one of the biggest problems, on the other hand any reasonable way of dealing with it also gets destroyed by hopelessly annoying characters shoved in our faces like they're some kind of prodigy. How the f can anyone take these things seriously when it has become an achieve for a 16 year old kid to be like an environmental activist / eco-terrorist? (and no, not literally 'terrorist', I mean eco-terrorist as in being unreasonable about any kind of meaningful discussions on the topic, instead of spreading their own stubborn biased and single-sided opinions).
The kid just wants to be able to breathe the air when he's older. I'd like to be able to do that too, if you don't mind.
And given that my parent's generation passed the burden to my generation on climate change, and my generation passed the burden to our kids and grand-kids, I find it quite hopeful to see a 16 year old being so passionate about working towards the changes that we've been too lazy, stupid or scared to implement.
Denard Springle Hopeful? Don't you see how he's become a complete parody of activism and more importantly a problem for a reasonable debate? I know three year olds who have less preprogrammed activism BS in them and will pick up trash without even asking or demanding attention by suing the government.
The kid wants to be able to breathe air? Not really the thing I disagree on at all. I'm not pro-pollution by any means. But there's definitely a right way and a wrong way to go about the environment.
PHeMoX
'But there's definitely a right way and a wrong way to go about the environment.'
Yup. And we've been going about it the wrong way for *decades* - using 'reasonable debate' - though more often than not, 'unreasonable debate'. Hence, why I'm hopeful that this next generation 'gets it'. And this kid seems to get it.
Yes, he has his stump speech down pretty good, as do all politicians except for the circus peanut. Unfortunately, you have to repeat the truth just as often as those who would rather meet an untimely end to our civilization repeat the lies.
As for suing the government - our government has been complicit in allowing the CO2 problem to fester for multiple generations. We're going on well over 50+ years we've known this was a problem and did *nothing* about it. Government funded and independent research study after research study after research study have all pointed to the same exact outcomes - for *generations*. So, yes, sue the government is something nobody's tried yet on this issue. I'll be interested to see how it plays out.
The time for 'reasonable debate' on climate change is over. There is no debate. It's real, it's happening right now, and we're responsible for it. The time for action has already passed us by, frankly, and that kids generation is on tap for a potential extinction level event in their lifetimes if something doesn't change.
So, once again, I repeat myself... I applaud his efforts. It's sure as hell more than you or I have ever done about the problem, no?
+Denard Springle www.dancarlin.com/common-sense-home-landing-page/ check out this free podcast. Dan Carlin "Common Sense" latest episode "Revenge of the Gangrenous finger" makes a lot of sense.
Jogoh Luther Well, there's 50 minutes of my life I'll never get back...
I listened to this podcast, waiting for something relevant to the conversation on climate change I was expecting, but found nothing relevant to that discussion.
Perhaps you can explain in more detail how you feel posting that was relevant? Otherwise, I don't even know how to include that in this discussion.
I like Michael Steele, he seems like a reasonable, decent man. He is like a throwback to what the Republicans used to be before they got taken over by insanity, fundamentalism, and facsism.
The only way i would CONSIDER voting for Hillary Clinton is if she chooses Elizabeth Warren for VP and renounces Wall St.
Betsy Woodruff is super annoying .
Why cause she tells the truth? Christ, Bernie supporters are becoming just as bad as Trump supporters. They can't stand someone saying one bad word about their lord and savior.
Statistically, most online Bernie supporters actually voted for Ron Paul four years ago.
Statistically, 87% of statistics quoted online are 96% horseshit.
***** Why not they generalize everyone else?
Bernie delegate to the Texas state convention here. The problem with Woodruff is that she doesn't understand the political process. You'd have to actually speak to someone participating in that process to understand it.
For example, I said several weeks before the Texas convention (and my fellow Bernie delegates agreed) that I wanted him to stay in the race through the national convention...not because I thought he could win the nomination, but because I knew I'd have more leverage to get Sanders delegates on committees, change TDP rules, and get progressive resolutions in place, and affect the platform committee. And I maintain that it helped. I don't think we would have accomplished quite as much without that leverage.
And, I might add, Sanders said basically just that in some interviews this week: he's staying in to steer the platform at the national.
So Woodruff is annoying, but it's because she's ignorant of the process, and arrogant about her ignorance. She should probably retake her high school civics classes.
Read the comments, Bill. It doesn't look like HRC is as popular as you think she is.
Betsy Woodruff, awesome analysis! (No Sarcasm Here) LMFAO.
Great panel, stimulating conversation - I have no idea how 60 people voted this down. This is ideal Real Time overtime.
we are also growing in numbers with the new and young to the traditional awakening their potentials
Did Larry Wilmore just say Hillary is competent?????
I freaking love that dude. His hair alone is inspiring. lol
Comparing Hillary and Trump's negatives is comparing apples and oranges. People hate and disrespect Trump the person. People hate things Hillary has supposedly done or not done, things she has been involved in. She at least has the opportunity to let the light in to shine on her "scandals" but Trump cannot do that to himself.
Let's just forget the University lawsuit & other 3000 that happened.
When are people going to make some noise about Hildabeast not talking to the Media in more than six months? A politician who stays silent like that is always hiding something the people really should know about. Either insist on Bernie or vote for Trump but please take your country back. The Hildabeast will sell you out to the highest bidder.
Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, what an amazing kid.
Paul Begala is monumentally grating.
How did this lady even have the intelligence to fill out the forms to apply for a journalist degree?
You know what they say, those who talk to reporters make good politicians
8:08 When Paul Begala does that awkward forced smile he looks like Bill Kristol. Scary.
Xiuhtezcatl Martinez -- brains, heart and beauty
Jeez this 16 year old....bravo.
I would vote for him if he ever diced to Run.
Damn this young Man is awesome!
this"boy" I should say Man, is amazing!!!!
'presidential race = alien vs predator '
great show ~ new fan of 'Earth Guardians' too ...
The girl in green dress is a great step up from the woman in the purple from the last show.
maher is right
maybe if reporters actually reported instead of looking for cheap scandalous soundbites, warren may answer them
talking condescendingly towards Bernie Sanders voters is the correct way to get them to line up behind you.
Wait - Betsy just made me respect Elizabeth even more.
Nomination is not official yet. Still waiting on results from the CA primary, FBI primary, and RICO primary.
So a 16-year old speaks very maturely and this Betsy girl is talking like a 16-year old.
Ozomatli, Neil Young,Fugazi, Rage Against The Machine, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Dixie Chicks, X, KRS1, BobDylan, Beyonce, Prince........a very few artists that are/were musical activists.
Love this panel
Gaze upon in awe. This is the establishment.
Michael Steele is a likeable conservative.
