Biden and Kamala Harris are the Technocrats dream candidates. TECHNOCRACY is the destruction of the political system and Constitution. Nations will be lead by unelected leaders who decide Everything you do. The California governor has said that people who do not comply with what he orders will have their water and power cut off (smart meters). Unelected leaders are people like the Trilateral Commission, Jeffrey Bezos, George Sorros and Bill Gates.

@@BusterABrown Yuhp! That's the truth. I can't understand why the American people are tolerating this. Maybe they're not. We'll know after the November election.
@Justin How are we blaming the poor countries? And what is exactly is economic colonization? No one is forcing those countries to do anything and if the poor countries oppose economic activity they are sovereign nations and could expel the businesses.
Wayne Hasch one word, sanctions. America says the it loves the free market but when a sovereign country doesn’t except the American economic structure (monopolies) and focus on affordable housing, free healthcare and improved infrastructure. The United States slaps sanctions (this is against all free market ideology) on them while simultaneously working to coup the sovereign government. Take Venezuela as an example: Chevron and Exxon wants Venezuela’s oil (two of Americans biggest monopolies) the Venezuelans are fine with their oil company being a state enterprise but America is not and has even committed piracy to make the economy scream in an attempt to over throw the sovereign government of Venezuela. Now this has/is happening in Honduras, Brazil, Ecuador, Iran and I can go on. America supports dictator not democracy and if the people of these and other countries don’t like it well they can die or starve to death by the US sanctions, or the American supported terrorist like ISIL (Syria).
@Justin"outsourced slavery","economic imperialism" "economic colonialism". Nonsense Marxist terms. Have you noticed that in the last 30 years China has gone from being an economic failure to the second largest economy in the world. They aren't complaining about low wages. As for Venezuela, they are the exact opposite of China. It went from being one of the richest to becoming one of the poorest countries. Their oil was nationalized in the 1970's yet their people are starving because of socialism not because of Exxon Mobil.
@B. Greene You don't know the power of the Clinton family. Thom was talking about how corrupt the Dems became when the Third Way took over the Democratic Party w/Bill Clinton before 2016 election. He quickly stopped. Randi Rhodes lost her job because of a joke she told at a comedy club that was true about the Clinton's.
@joe blanco yeah, she has said a lot of great things, especially in the past. But no one feels the impact of her fights for the consumer, so it's not surprising the reality was reflected in the primary where she came in a "strong 4th"...according to MSNBC and out of touch yuppies.
Look what he stood for the last 50 years. Than you know what he stands for..... People who think biden is the solution need ro think about history first. Obama and biden had eight years to make a solid sustainable future when it was possible. Unfortunately they choose what would be best for their own fortune.....
@Donald Hariot labor was way stronger at that time. The new deal policies were a way to prevent the rev by ceding to the demands of labor. It was a good bargain for everyone. But they've had decades to whittle away at the advances that were made at that time. Now, once again, we must fight to make those in power cede to our demands, or face the inevitable consequences.
He made a good point tho: "I think it's really important to remember in 1932 franklin roosevelt ran for president on a platform of balancing the federal budget and I mean you know and he transformed america"
@@dictorfeelgood I enjoyed Hartman during the Bush presidency, and his critique against the Iraq war. Then he seemed to just become part of the echo chamber, repeating all the Dem talking points.
bro the orange man is actually bad. Nobody is saying that anyone wants biden but the orange man is bad. He needs to go, his fascist tendencies have a corrosive effect on our democracy and embolden fascists elsewhere
I think Hartmann is far too optimistic about a Biden administration. Wishing and hoping. We have seen no signs that business as usual will change. Obama/Biden didn't address the corruption. Why should we think Biden/Harris will?
Regulation, the fight for 15, inconsistent shutdowns, immigration of low skilled workers, all of these hurt small business exponentially more than big business.
Other than canceling my Prime membership a year ago - and suggesting others follow suit - I’m not sure what can be done about Amazon et al. without the government stepping in.
It's funny how in the game Monopoly, everyone starts out with the same opportunity. I say at the beginning of the game, everyone rolls the dice to determine who starts out rich, who starts with a few hundred, and who starts with nothing. The lowest roll starts in jail with no money. The game would be more realistic and go much faster.
Why are workers not making more?! I have to work 50-70 hrs a wk and still cannot afford my expenses. Mentioned in comments before, but in 1976 I made $3.80 an hour union wage as a busboy (SF bay area local restaurant/hotel union)...today in 2020, making 7-10 bucks an hour...?!
If money is free speech, then wouldn’t free speech be money? I could just protest in front of a property that I want to buy or say something eloquent at the car dealership and that should be considered legal tender or fair exchange.
The most cogent and perspicasious political observer EVER. Bring back Air America and let Mr. Hartman expound to our woefully uneducated and misinformed population. He shouldve taught in schools
He might do some things like give a threatening speech once in a while to "convince" Corporations to spend more on employees and public charities...but it's hard to imagine anything he will do to check them. With so many people out of jobs, he's gonna need corporations and investors on board for some help in this critical matter.
The trouble with false optimism is it wastes time and extends the pain. It seems like a kind of irrational stubbornness is stopping the progressives from forming the serious third party that they just have to do. As a separate party they'll be big enough to have real leverage.
The lie of the free market is that the market is free. Unrestrained capitalism does NOT result in the competition that it supposedly champions. We are living in an Oligarchy with elections, masquerading as a democracy. Monopolies need to be broken up NOW!! Republicans will never be reformed. Can corporate establishment Democrats be reformed? Highly questionable.
This is what occupy 2.0 needs to be. Libertarians and progressives allying to end the monopolization and reset our economy. All this racial and cultural turmoil will settle down if people have some financial security.
You pay a lot more than twice as much for hospitalization and drugs bro. The only money I pay for hospitalization here in Australia is if I want to watch TV. We can get medication anywhere up 2000 times cheaper as well, while any medication I receive in hospital is also free. But yes, you do get screwed. Fight corporate power.
The laws may still be around, but thanks to FDR the "constitution" isn't...so this person is not worth listening to, and never has been...of course, since no one in media, msm or alternative understands this, or if they do will not dare talk about it... all discussion is essentially a waste of time.
I'm a huge fan of Thom Hartmann and I've read a couple of his books, but his fatal flaw in this discussion is that he still believes that the two political parties that created our current situation can be the ones to fix it. The *only* way real change will ever happen is if more third party candidates are elected to public office. If you want to end corporate monopolies you must first end the political monopoly that serves the corporate monopolies. There is no other way. None. Either vote third party or stop complaining - you're part of the problem.
When he told a room full of millionaire donors "nothing will fundamentally change" what part of that were you *NOT* understanding?
