We must fight the bullies off and speak up, speak out and be heard. Remember during the 80's and 90's it was don't tattle or be a victim, that total approach is not good and causes more abuses to continue. Most people are afraid of telling the truth because they won't be believed or worse they will get abused by the person they thought was safe zone. I've had enough of that "Catch and Kill" hide it at all cost directive. People need to stand up and stand by for others, like Beau says!
This whole "both sides" shtick is something you use when *one* party is a problem, but you know singling them out will freak them out and cause an even *bigger* scene, so you try diffusing it first and see if that works. Anyone with children or subordinates knows what I'm talking about.

Together with real (REAL*) progressive Democrats you can press important issues. Not fake sell outs like Yang, Tulsi, Warren, Castro and Beto.

Beau, I appreciate that you're talking about how you'll need to make a video in March taking President Biden to task on some things. Thanks for the optimism. But let's not jinx anything, we have a looong way to go before we get Trump gone. VOTE, Y'ALL. VOTE!!!
The elites already decided on Biden. "Suck it up and vote for Joe" Jill let it slip way back in the primary. Don't be surprised, but also don't be complacent
Polls are projections, predictions, speculation. The numbers bolster confidence for the Democrats and spread panic among the Republicans. Polls create a false sense of security that lulled blue states into thinking they've already "won". Polls breed complacency among voters. Don't believe poll numbers. Actual change occurs when actual people actually vote. A blue tsunami won't happen if people shout poll numbers and think they've already won.

Therein lies to path to destruction.

@Janet Baker I'm not a fan of Biden. He helped push the war on drugs. He helped start the wars in the middle east. He takes money from people like Donald in the form of campaign donations. He didn't betray an ally of the US loosing America the soft power that we've spent over a century building up and making people look to other nations to be the leaders of the free world. He hasn't made interment camps for children(even if they did get x-boxes to play on it doesn't change the fact that interment camps are what they are) He hasn't unleashed secret police on peaceful protesters. He hasn't incited violence by saying things like I'll pay the legal bills of anyone who beats up those people. He hasn't hid his taxes only for us to find out that we (people who are at or around minimum wage have been paying more and contributing more to society then him) Biden hasn't had a large amount of career government officials resign in protest because they find him to be such a danger to the country that they believe that it's the only way to bring attention to the problem. He hasn't attacked the members of a church, just to have a picture taken at their church of him holding a bible upside down. He hasn't hid in a bunker, and then when called out say that he was just inspecting it. He never let an adversary of the US take over one of our bases and give Russia access to the middle east. He didn't weaken the UN, which is one of the 3 main defenses of the US. (though in fairness he does want to put some restrictions on one of the others in the the form of gun control) He hasn't taken the money appropriated by congress for disaster relief in the middle of hurricane season to build a wall that has so far been on the verge of collapse, easy to get through, and had even been tested by a 12 year old who was able to get over it unaided in 30 seconds. He also hasn't have many of his closes allies arrested for crimes like fraud and even being unregistered agents of foreign nations. His son probably did get high paying jobs because of his last name, but he hadn't been given high ranking jobs in the white house that he clearly wasn't qualified for by Biden himself. Biden hasn't spent about $141,000,000 of the taxpayers money on golf, Nor has he forced the tax payers to pay for our people to stay at his hotels. There's a lot more that Biden hasn't done. but frankly this post is to long and probably no one has read this far down anyway.

@Janet Baker He's bad for sure, but it's not Donald's speaking skills that I have a problem with. Biden at least can be held accountable. He might make excuses but he doesn't say something on camera then just portend it didn't happen, and call it unfair when people bring it up. For me it's I would rather have a stupid man in the white house, then a malicious child.
The US lost, in my opinion, the best opportunity to get a president that would actually fight for the people, Bernie Sanders, the only one capable, honest and willing to do best for the people and the cowntry.

I was in a conversation with two gentlemen the other day whom I had met for the first time. The meeting place had a connection to the American Civil War. Invariably, the current state of affairs crept its way into the conversation. Both of these men had voted for Trump in 2016. I had not. What we agreed on was that each of us had become wary of voting for the "lesser evil" and that the benchmark of true leadership is the ability to build a coalition, a dialogue of cohesion over division, in order to move the country forward. None of us would be voting Trump 2020.

If accusers had an inkling of common sense, they would understand the stark contrast in the integrity driven argument that joe Biden has some sense of honor, and morality. Trump is devoid of those traits.

There are more than two sides, the landscape is a plane, 2-dimensional. Most folks, are to the left and down of the center. Our state is up and to the right, as is Biden.
Do you really think a majority are in the lower left quadrant? That would make me really happy, as I'm pretty much in the farthest corner. I hope you're right. I'm sick of being a moral outlier because I demand higher standards.

Biden said it best in the the debate when he said "Don't compare me to the Almighty but to the competition"
The perfect comment and how I feel, “Biden is not my man, but we won’t survive 4 more years of Trump”. Actually I didn’t even want another man.
My man was a woman too. Lol
Looking around the world, women seem to lead with more compassion and common sense and less ego.
David Guelette yes,
Elizabeth Warren would’ve been amazing. For that matter, I’m looking forward to voting AOC for president some time in the future.
Beau of the Fifth Column how wonderful!
I’m a Bernie guy, I swore I wasn’t going to vote in this election until I found your videos. Thank you for your work. Common sense is hard to come by
Thank YOU for being open to examing your ideas in light of new information. I'm a huge leftist also, and voting for Biden is painful, but you bet I'll do it. I'm glad you'll be joining in!
I’ve been refusing to vote for Biden I’m a far lefty but I think I’ll end up voting for Biden and that is extremely painful for me to say/do.
@@chelseazaydaraensehon1198 thank you, voting for Biden is the first of a long line of difficult things we must do. After he is elected we have to start kicking his & congresses asses to get America turned toward a decent path.
I'd rather see Bernie in office too, but I'll take what I can get just like all the presidential elections I've voted in. I didn't think Jimmy Carter would be a good president, but I sure wasn't voting for Ford, and so it goes....
@@chelseazaydaraensehon1198 Please, please don´t just "think about it". Vote! There is too much at stake. There will be opportunities to press for your political goals by supporting others more aligned to your ideals and expectations. But first the country needs to get rid of the Orange Scumbag. A close Biden victory may not do the trick, Trump will stop at nothing to stay in the WH.
“I’m not taking the side of the oppressor.” Yeah, me neither.
"When are you going after Biden the same way"? Clearly they haven't been a long time watcher, because you've had plenty to say about him.
All hands on deck...vote
We get Biden in, then Jan 22 we start working on a new party.
Support locally and nationaly The Green Party and the People's Party. Let them grow, and create a multiple party system. Together with real (REAL*) progressive Democrats you can press important issues.
Not fake sell outs like Yang, Tulsi, Warren, Castro and Beto. Because that group sold us out on Medicare for All during the Democratic primary. All were for it at the start and all dropped after gaining enough progressive support.
I'm Black, I'm so Proud we have Americans like U on the side of simple Honor! Country before Party! The John McCain Standard! Love U Man, look forward to Ur clips every single day! Keep up The Good Fight! Blessings!
Beau, I appreciate that you're talking about how you'll need to make a video in March taking President Biden to task on some things. Thanks for the optimism. But let's not jinx anything, we have a looong way to go before we get Trump gone. VOTE, Y'ALL. VOTE!!!
Indeed!
Mailed my ballot this morning!
The elites already decided on Biden. "Suck it up and vote for Joe" Jill let it slip way back in the primary. Don't be surprised, but also don't be complacent
@@bethwaller1789 Thank you! Just got mine in the mail and will have it in as soon as early voting dropboxes are up and running. Way to go!
Polls are projections, predictions, speculation. The numbers bolster confidence for the Democrats and spread panic among the Republicans. Polls create a false sense of security that lulled blue states into thinking they've already "won". Polls breed complacency among voters. Don't believe poll numbers. Actual change occurs when actual people actually vote. A blue tsunami won't happen if people shout poll numbers and think they've already won.
It is unfortunate that Beau needed to explain what bias is. Having said that it was very well explained in context
The bar is set so low we don’t even need to jump to crossover it.
L J it’s a trip hazard
I think the bar you see is nothing more than a line in the sand.
“Better than Trump, everybody is”, so true!
Trump is a lying slymeball "the likes of which no one has ever seen before"
The likes of which no one has ever seem was a good pun intended 😁💯
Except Hitler
“the likes of which no one has ever seen before “ 😂😂😂
He is such a bombastic fool.
@@CrankyWizard26 Ha Ha!! Let's not give tRump the chance to beat hitler at that game.
Should we ever get "our" standard. We should raise the bar.
Common sense is not as common as we'd like to think. You can't be neutral on a moving train.
"I'd like a 3 course meal please"
"Sorry, we have a turd painted gold, or some stale bread"
"Bread please, at least it's not a turd"
Simply knowing and respecting constitutional law is a low bar to have to pass.
I'm only a temporary fan because he is standing up to Trump.
that's totally fair.
Good afternoon. I like the way Beau presents his thoughts as well. Be safe
Fair enough.
I like his style. He tells it like it is.
That's entirely your prerogative, if perhaps a short-sighted one. I'm a permanent fan because, even though I sometimes disagree vehemently with him, he is consistently knowledgeable, able to produce support for his assertions, and has a fact-based (rather than emotional) delivery. He knows his stuff, and I always learn something. One of the biggest problems I see in America today is that FAR too many people surround themselves with information that caters to their biases and want to ignore, muzzle, or eliminate equally worthy people on the other end of the spectrum. Therein lies to path to destruction.
Some of us are not voting “for” Biden as much as we’re voting against Trump...
We vote for harm reduction.
I'll take the votes for whatever reason they come.
Christopher Miller I totally agree. Democracy first. Country first.
Trent Gulliam-
I agree with your statement %100!!!
Anyone who believes both sides are basically the same hasn't been paying attention for the last fifty years
They are the same. Not basically, they are.
@@keeponliving2481 not even remotely true.
2 words: HARM REDUCTION.
An overt fascist and a center right tool are different things when discussing how many vulnerable groups will be exposed to risk. You choose the “not letting people die avoidably” option.
Breathing space.
Buying time to fix things by getting the bull out of the china shop.
@@bdf2718 , Yes , Exactly!.
a "center right tool" will still inevitably lead to fascism. it's nothing more than buying time
Yes. Well said.
@@rhael42 that's all we can do right now.
Biden..less harmful. That’s what we’ve come to.
And even that's arguable.
There’s at least a hope that he can be good.
Kenbob48 : pretty much, 98% of elections in my lifetime. Lesser of 2 evils got us here & why so many didn't vote in the past.
That is not what he said.
@@PsylomeAlpha No, it is not. Not by a long shot.
I read an article that called Rump "democidal". I had to look it up.
It is chillingly spot on.
Both sides may be imperfect but one side embraces every loathsome characteristics human beings can have.
Agreed!
"When am I gonna go after Biden the way I go after Trump?" Maybe when Biden holds the most powerful office in the country?
Nice!
Big brother speaks!!
... And makes the same mess of it.
Why wait when it's too late whenu can get them tf out of here
@@hanskuijsten2380 This is almost impossible, in the worst case Biden will try to make it the way it was before Trump and just this will take years, I just hope Biden will at least try to help solve the BLM in his first year.
When there's no good choice, you take the least bad choice.
When there's no good choice you dont choose either . Kinda like if to eat a green turd or a brown one, most would not eat any
@@biscuit2075 Then you let the worst choice win. You're not eating a turd, you're just voting.
That was my mentality in 16. Whew! Did we dodge a bullet, or what!
@@biscuit2075 When you don’t vote you just let someone else make a choice for you. Maybe it’s the choice you would have made, maybe not, but you gave up your voice at that point.
@Logical Thinker Yes you have to make a decision, that's the point of voting.
You are simply astonishing to we of the internet who choose to hear your profundity and reflections.
Great wisdom in this man.
Thanks, Beau.... Once again, telling it like it is !!
... Semper Fi ...
Hi Beau. Thanks for this. You're putting into words a good response to a frustrating talking point of Trump fans
If you take the side of the oppressor, you are your own doom.
Very clearly and succinctly put, Justin. Anyone with a healthy mind knows how warped and out of control Trump is. Those are facts, not bias.
"Not taking the side of the oppressor" How could anyone expect anyone to do such a thing? Trump supporters are looking for validation - sorry - there is no validation for this one.
@Janet Baker I'm not a fan of Biden. He helped push the war on drugs. He helped start the wars in the middle east. He takes money from people like Donald in the form of campaign donations.
He didn't betray an ally of the US loosing America the soft power that we've spent over a century building up and making people look to other nations to be the leaders of the free world. He hasn't made interment camps for children(even if they did get x-boxes to play on it doesn't change the fact that interment camps are what they are) He hasn't unleashed secret police on peaceful protesters. He hasn't incited violence by saying things like I'll pay the legal bills of anyone who beats up those people. He hasn't hid his taxes only for us to find out that we (people who are at or around minimum wage have been paying more and contributing more to society then him) Biden hasn't had a large amount of career government officials resign in protest because they find him to be such a danger to the country that they believe that it's the only way to bring attention to the problem. He hasn't attacked the members of a church, just to have a picture taken at their church of him holding a bible upside down. He hasn't hid in a bunker, and then when called out say that he was just inspecting it. He never let an adversary of the US take over one of our bases and give Russia access to the middle east. He didn't weaken the UN, which is one of the 3 main defenses of the US. (though in fairness he does want to put some restrictions on one of the others in the the form of gun control) He hasn't taken the money appropriated by congress for disaster relief in the middle of hurricane season to build a wall that has so far been on the verge of collapse, easy to get through, and had even been tested by a 12 year old who was able to get over it unaided in 30 seconds. He also hasn't have many of his closes allies arrested for crimes like fraud and even being unregistered agents of foreign nations. His son probably did get high paying jobs because of his last name, but he hadn't been given high ranking jobs in the white house that he clearly wasn't qualified for by Biden himself. Biden hasn't spent about $141,000,000 of the taxpayers money on golf, Nor has he forced the tax payers to pay for our people to stay at his hotels.
There's a lot more that Biden hasn't done. but frankly this post is to long and probably no one has read this far down anyway.
I’m wondering if people are getting desensitized to the tyranny they see around them?
There are fine people on both sides if you just turn around 180 degrees :)
"There is a lot of injustice in the world. I am not taking the side of the oppressor."
Goddamn right, Beau!
When you give equal weight to lies, truth loses.
Thank you for your consistent and thorough application of knowledge and insight.
I gave up om social media a long time ago, the algorithms are meant to keep you on the app for as long as possible.
That being said , it only shows you what you want to see distorting your world view and creating a huge cultural devide.
Everyone is biased. It's knowing your bias, informing others, and using it for good that remains important in times like these.
While Biden wasn’t my first choice, the good news is that he cares about people other than himself and right now that will be a 1000% improvement.
is he smart enough for it
Yo Momma Sure. He wears a mask to protect other people. So he cares more than his opponent. If that’s not enough for you with everything that’s going on right now then I can’t help you.
Nothing wrong with telling the truth, matter of fact it's refreshing.
You're like me Beau, Biden isn't my guy either but the bus is going the same direction.
To me, Biden is like a rebound relationship. He'll take us back to something more sane so we can regroup and find better candidates for 2024.
@@nancychen2924 THIS is the best analogy I've ever heard, and so true! Thanks.
*Daily Well-Wishing: You are a wonderful and positive element of my daily (or weekly) routines. Your influence is overwhelmingly positive and I wish you ALL the good things in this life. Be well Mr. Sir!
Absolutely agree.
God bless you, Beau. You do a tremendous job, particularly when you have to educate masses of people about the basics of history, civics, grammar, and critical thinking that EVERY American should have learned by the end of 8th grade, and definitely by the end of high school, and be able to apply to everyday life.
Sending you love from Canada. The world needs more of you.
"by that incredibly low standard, Biden is the better man" Amen Beau
Thank you for your efforts, good sir.
I wish people would realize that criticism of one side or position does not equal endorsement of another side or position.
God has blessed me with several honorable leaders in my life. Not a single one of them resembled trump. A couple of them were just like Biden.
@Janet Baker He's bad for sure, but it's not Donald's speaking skills that I have a problem with. Biden at least can be held accountable. He might make excuses but he doesn't say something on camera then just portend it didn't happen, and call it unfair when people bring it up. For me it's I would rather have a stupid man in the white house, then a malicious child.
No one is going to get Beau on semantics!
The US lost, in my opinion, the best opportunity to get a president that would actually fight for the people, Bernie Sanders, the only one capable, honest and willing to do best for the people and the cowntry.
Also, having to explain what bias is and means, explains a bit on how the US keeps electing people that do not have people's interests in mind.
This article explains how the rich pretty much manage our elected leaders...in case you were interested.

Camelot's never gonna BE brought back, and if historically speaking probably never existed in the first place, whether we're talking about John Kennedy or Arthur Pendragon!
Very well said .... my sentiments exactly👍💪
Hey Beau Heeeeeey! Thank you for your video! I appreciate your views!
Excellent. I always hear about bias.
Fourth! 💐👍🏽
"I'm not taking the side of the oppressor."
I'm european and I can't believe I'm so in tune with the opinions of a viking guy from texas lmao. You rock dude!
Great work as usual!
we’ve grown to expect nothing less than great work from Beau
and it’s quite refreshing!
any complaints right now ? well its trumps America, VOTE !! Proud boys, spit, spit...
Sickening little weasels, they are. I'm adamantly opposed to body shaming of any kind, but I cannot help wondering what they are compensating for...
Thanks for your content Beau
I was in a conversation with two gentlemen the other day whom I had met for the first time. The meeting place had a connection to the American Civil War. Invariably, the current state of affairs crept its way into the conversation. Both of these men had voted for Trump in 2016. I had not. What we agreed on was that each of us had become wary of voting for the "lesser evil" and that the benchmark of true leadership is the ability to build a coalition, a dialogue of cohesion over division, in order to move the country forward. None of us would be voting Trump 2020.
Stephen Miller, Trump’s immigration adviser is one such truly bad person.
Stephen Miller was filmed walking with Hope Hicks, unmasked, talking and laughing and turning his face toward her yesterday. Uh oh. Did she somehoe reject the daily koolaid?
He's a sociopath
I want Biden to win,only so that they have to drag Stampy out of the WH on television.
And, I vote.
Sup, Embarassed Boys?
That would be immensely satisfying.
I'll take the votes however they come. :D
Then once prosecuted and imprisoned, they can take all of the properties that he acquired, you know, by lying and cheating, and convert them into affordable housing for the impoverished. Heck, if things don't start to pick up around here economically, I might even move into a unit myself. Anybody ever been to Mar-a-Lago?
@@drewmiller3462 I want them to seize Trump Tower and rename it after President Obama. LOL
I just want to wake up in the morning knowing we are safe.
My fear is that these past four years have been Trump in his first term, knowing he needs to be re-elected. I can’t imagine what he will do in his second term without that fear... we need to VOTE!
Think of voting like taking a bus, you get on the bus that will take you closest to your house.
"I am not on the side of the oppressor." Well alright then, yeah.
Awesome. Bravo sir. Thank you for keeping it simple. It’s refreshing to hear a no bs simple perspective that’s coming from a place of common sense and rational thinking. Amazingly refreshing. Keep up the good work and share your views :)
I am fed up with hearing - EVEN yesterday and today in our UK radio media - 'well that is the Trump way' as though that were an excuse for his ignorance and bullying!
If accusers had an inkling of common sense, they would understand the stark contrast in the integrity driven argument that joe Biden has some sense of honor, and morality. Trump is devoid of those traits.
William James espoused Radical Empiricism: The Truth, the whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth. trump not.
"Looking at what he's done, what he''s failed to do, what he's attempted to do..."
May I add "what he's doing, and what he's threatened to , and what he will do."?
This November you will be voting for the very soul of America .
I just quit responding to your tweets because Trumpers are just constantly trolling on there.
Yeah any political personality over a certain size, regardless of position, is just going to be a minefield in replies that way.
I go on right wing sites and bombard them with the truth. After a while they give up. I specify rules to debate which makes them chicken out.
@@jazzman. I tell them to google Fox News and the FCC. LoL..!
The Earth isn't an egg just because there are flat-earthers.
Thank you! Subbed
The vast majority of people in America have lost the ability to critically think-when you have 35% to 40% of Americans who can’t see the “Dead End” of this administrations trajectory and direction we are truly lost and heading down a very slippery slope indeed
Thank you!.... this is why I watch you. I needed a voice of reason. Especially since I'm surrounded by the far right in my community, Trump parades almost every weekend lately. Have a good day!
Me too! I live in Trumpworld. I always ask them “could you imagine being a Republican living in California?!”
It puts them in my shoes for a split second
There are more than two sides, the landscape is a plane, 2-dimensional.
Most folks, are to the left and down of the center. Our state is up and to the right, as is Biden.
Do you really think a majority are in the lower left quadrant? That would make me really happy, as I'm pretty much in the farthest corner. I hope you're right. I'm sick of being a moral outlier because I demand higher standards.
We love how un biast you are. It's what attracts us to you. Keep up the honest, common sense reporting
The USA so needs more of that.
Right on Beau...
Let's talk about how they didn't talk about stealing Syria's oil, Or crop failures, or the fact, We're giving $10.5 million a day to a foreign country, Or that we sold our food reserves,While California burns the produces 25% of our food crop, F that, let's just talk politics
I also love how someone thumbs down the video after it has been posted 1 minute. Haters gonna hate 👶
People kept saying that Wallace was biased in the debate. How can you treat 2 people the same when one of them is acting like a maniac?
