Incumbent Biden inheriting a nomination for a 2nd term is not a democratic process. Don't act like the Dems voted for him to have a 2nd term. He and Kamala were duly elected in 2020, and now he's passed the torch. Quit your whining that now your guy is the "old guy".
How can Robbie stomach that I thought I'd watch it because schellenberg was on but then you got the airhead who doesn't even have a position of substance just a nagging unsubstantiated disagreement
America is not a democracy anymore. We live in an oligarchy its just most of you are intellectual cowards and dont want to face reality. You can literally mathematically prove that America is not any type democracy, there literally is no way to argue against America being an oligarchy at this point.
It's hilarious how Jessica ALWAYS has to have the last word just so she can make sure her word twisting propaganda is the last thing that Rising viewers hear in every clip because she knows that that's what sways people... The last thing they hear. It's also funny how she kept trying to force Michael to accede to him saying coup and to answer for Jan 6th when he never used the word and had nothing to do with Jan 6th, the Republicans, or Trump. You could see the bemusement on his face that said how tiresome her propaganda and spiraling half truths are. She's so deliberately dishonest.
Michael’s patronizing grin was like a wise father deferring to compassion for his daughter - mercy from savaging her worldview. But that father soon learns wisdom, realizing that her coddled mind grew into a feral beast of pathological narcissism, that his daughter is gone to an invasive parasite that used her as a vessel for the subversive ends of a Gnostic political religion.
Its undisputed fact, undisputed from trumps lawyers : Donald Trump tried to overturn an election through mike pence, so how did he have nothing to do with it?
Primaries and how candidates are chosen are not in the Constitution are up for the parties to decide. Only thing the Constitution lays out if the 3 conditions to run for President and that elections must be unobstructed and when they are held. Everything else is left to the states and the parties
HARRIS IS NOT CONSTITUTIONALLY ELIGIBLE TO EITHER THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT(Art.IIS1CL5) _OR_ VICE-PRESIDENT(12th Amendment) OF THE UNITED STATES. She was born to NON-U.S. Citizen Parents thus inheriting at the moment of birth, the Citizenship Status of said parents via the powerful 'right of the blood'(jus sanguinis) Had the Founders/Framers intended for eligibility to this most High Office to extend to folks who had merely been born within the territory then they would have stated as much , THEY DIDN'T ~ Where do we find in the Constitution either of the following:
_'No person except one born on U.S. Soil..'_ or _'No person except one born within the territorial limits/jurisdiction of the United States..shall be eligible..'_ etc. ? WE DON'T ! THIS IS WHAT WE DO FIND: _'No person except a natural born Citizen..shall be eligible..'_ David Ramsay "A Dissertation on the Manner of Acquiring the Character & Privileges of a Citizen of the United States" (1789): _"..citizenship as a _*_natural right_*_ belongs to none but those who have been born of citizens since the 4th of July, 1776."_ John Bingham, AKA “Father of the 14th Amendment”, Abolitionist, Congressman, prosecuted Lincoln’s assassins states: “Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States _of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty_ is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866) Supreme Court of the United States Elk v. Wilkins (1884) Quote: _''...children of aliens, ... must necessarily remain themselves subject to the same sovereignty as their parents , and cannot, in the nature of things, be, any more than their parents, completely subject to the jurisdiction of such other country.''_ Supreme Court Chief Justice, Melville Fuller administered the Oath of Office to 5 Presidents Fuller speaks : "Considering the circumstances surrounding the framing of the Constitution, it is UNREASONABLE TO CONCLUDE THAT "natural-born citizen" APPLIED TO EVERYBODY born within the geographical tract known as the United States, irrespective of circumstances- ... _THE CHILDREN OF FOREIGNERS,..ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO THE PRESIDENCY_ ."
😂😂. Hypocrisy is the tribute Vice pays to virtue. And neuroticism, hedonism & nihilism are the foundations of her subversive, Gnostic-cult ideology - which always & eventually becomes pathological narcissism (they can no longer perceive the hypocrisy & double standards nor distinguish their own propaganda from reality). I’m not sure where Jess is on this course.
Long time Democrat (35 years) here. I switched parties 2 years ago...in 2016, Bernie Sanders was way more popular than Hillary Clinton. I'm a Gemini, and during 2016, my work had me speaking to people all over the United States daily and nearly every Democrat I spoke with, roughly 75% in my estimation, was on team Sanders...just look at his rallys compared to hers. Most all of us were shocked when Hillary Clinton got the nomination. Lots of funny business went into that....with a coin toss to handle a caucus tie. They then used CNN/MSNBC to spread a lie that Bernie Sanders supporters threw chairs at the state Democratic convention in Nevada. Sanders supporters were rightly upset in Nevada because Barbara Boxer showed up in a state where she didn't belong to let the Democrats know that although Sanders was more popular and appeared to have won the vote in Nevada, they were giving the win to Clinton because_______ (I forget but it was something like the Sanders campaign signed on the wrong line of some pre-election form. Again, just like the drop boxes and mail in ballots that were automatically sent to all Democrats here in Georgia the Democrats manipulated and engaged in tricks. Many were filming the convention in Nevada, including professionals hired to do so. No chairs were thrown but the story continued for days on television. During 2016 Kamala and Biden were part of the bottom of the barrel of candidates during the primary. Just this year I had an Eureka moment....when Democrats say Donald Trump will be the end of Democracy. It turns out that Democracy means "The ideas of the Democratic party elite" and I finally said good riddance.
Ok.. this is the stupidest post all day. You talk about how you identify with every Democratic position, but then voted for Trump because you were mad at the party's procedure. ....Right. 😊 Also, Trump wants to do away with the 2028 elections, so you won't have to worry about being conflicted again.
There's no way that Jessica actually thinks about anything that comes out of her mouth. She has a line she read from a party spokesperson somewhere that she likes and she will just keep repeating the line over and over about how "democracy" is whatever the party says it is. No matter how many times she is confronted with different lines of questioning she just repeats the exact same thing that doesn't mean what she thinks it means.
Yeah, the polls excuse is very weak. Remember the polls indicated Hillary is winning the Presidency. How did that go? The amount if rug sweep instead of adressing the issue is obvious
Remember this , the people telling you Kamala will be a great President this month.... Are the same people who told you Joe is fit for the job last month.
I love seeing Shellenberger sort of half-smirking while Jessica is speaking, trying desperately to not break out laughing at her insipid fawning "fangirl" act. She should just quit The Hill and volunteer for the Kamala campaign already.
She's completely and utterly different to the "people" on the view. Don't think she's strongly for Harris or even the democrats. Was just suggesting points which weren't really a big deal. I'm truly anti-woke but I know a misogynist when I see one. Likewise am utterly opposed to genocidal Israel but equally to genuine antisemitism
@@waterkingdavid Wait you're saying Shellenberger in this clip is misogynist? What did he say that wasn't true? I didn't hear anything that even sounded remotely tinged with misogyny. Seems like sorta a cop out criticism. And if you've paid attention to this show at all, you know Jessica is pretty clear in her political views. And yes, everything Michael is saying is true. Is it a coup? No not really but was Biden forced out against his will? Absolutely he was. He made clear that he wanted to run over and over again. They spent 3 weeks in a very public, very humiliating pressure campaign to force him out, pull his donations, non-stop leaking to the press and apparently rumors of invoking the 25th amendment unless he stepped aside. They humiliated him. They stabbed him in the back. The fact of the matter is, we're in an unprecedented situation. You can't even really compare this to Hubert Humphrey in 1968 because LBJ stepped down DURING the primaries and Hubert Humphrey wasn't just immediately coronated as the party's nominee 24 hours later. Now we're left in a situation again where a nominee for President is a heartbeat away from the Presidency, and yet as of now hasn't actually been an active Presidential candidate when any primary voting took place. Even in 2020, she dropped out before the first state voted. She hasn't won a single delegate, a single state, or a single vote as a candidate for President. And yet, she could be President. She's also very far left, just going by her record in the Senate. Usually candidates like her tend to be vetted and eventually screened out during the primaries for a more moderate candidate who will have broader appeal in a national electorate. That's how you got Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, as opposed to Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. She was able to bypass that entire process. The voters who cast a primary vote for Joe Biden, weren't doing so because they wanted Kamala Harris to be President. There's no other way to put it. I think a lot of people have an issue with this, generally speaking. Not so much partisan Democrats who will vote blue no matter who, but more conservative democrats, independents, or anti-establishment types. It seems undemocratic on its face. I personally have a huge problem with it as an Independent and I'm not going to support it, it goes against the core idea of how our representative government is supposed to work. I think any President should have to earn their nomination through the primary process and be vetted and chosen by the voters to represent their party. I don't love the idea that billionaires and kingmakers within the party can place their thumb on the scale like this and force the outcome they want, even if it's legal.
Plenty of Democrats have been complaining about how they have been handling these past few elections, especially when Bernie got railroaded, and she worked for him but still downplays it. The key word she used was establishment.
I’m so done with Democrats. I voted for Bernie twice and was supporting Kennedy and they did not even consider him. Voting Independent for Kennedy and honestly will vote for republicans down ballot just in spite of what they are doing. Jessica is just another vote blue no matter who person. 🤦🏻♂️
@@JohnHerzfeld-on3og true but the Republicans do the same thing. The only reason they continue with trump is bc maga has the party in a chokehold. If they could primary trump they would. Biden is out bc he wasn't going to win. It's the Dems own fault for not holding a proper primary with bidens age being in question but Trump did the same thing. They didn't really have a primary in 2020. That's how this goes. It's just more noticeable with the Dems bc Trump's base is so popular and the Dems have won most of the elections in the past 20 years
@@gugy68 ur spiting nobody but yourself. Vote for trump or Harris bc those are the only ones that are going to win. Makes no sense to vote for a third candidate. It's literally pointless
*They were still cheated from choosing their own nominee in the primaries because Biden didn't drop out sooner. It was obviously planned to subvert the will of the American voter!*
Political parties are private organizations. They're nothing in the constitution that requires them to do anything besides offering a qualifying candidate. Primary elections are done as a courtesy... but isn't required.
Because donor $ had dried up. Without Harris on the ticket the 200 million dollars has to be refunded along with the 90 million Biden had in his campaign funds (thats currently in contention by the FEC)
It weird to even hear this argument when her name was on the primary ticket and the voters voted for her as VP to take over if something happened to Biden.
During the administration only. Becoming the candidate for the next term is supposed to be achieved through a genuine democratic process. The modern Democrats are full on fascists.
If you don't want to call it a coup, fine. But party leadership did effectively force Biden out. I agree with Jessica that party rules allow them to do this, but I disagree with her that just because the majority of Democrats wanted Biden out, that democracy was preserved because it was party leadership that covered up Biden's health. What should have happened was they pushed him out a couple of years ago, or Kamala used the 25th A. and then a primary could have taken place having given voters a chance to experience a Harris presidency for comparison.
Yeah, the problem is that just because the party elites set up rules that allow them to just swap out a candidate that they don't like, doesn't somehow make that righteous lol. That's kind of a crazy argument. Well the corrupt people made a rule that allows them to steal, so I guess it's okay lol
I have a weird feeling about the way biden dropping out went. He was so adamant about staying in even up to the morning of the day he dropped out and then he waited 6 days to address the nation about it??? And it's a little weird with how Obama waited as long as he did to endorse her almost like he wasn't to particularly fond of her. I'm leaning towards her and the rest of the demacrats got together while he was gone and threatened to use the 25th against him but she made a deal that she wouldn't if he endorsed her. Idk but the way everything went down in that Is incredibly suspicious.
@@Big-lronhe's in his eighties and has covid three times this year alone. My grandpa died catching covid in his eighties. Kamala was on the Biden ticket, if he died of an illness she'd be the incumbent president and the presumptive nominee. It also wasnt favored by big democrat donors cause they didnt get a say, but the people have been excited. Honestly a lot of primary voters feel snubbed by "competitive" picks for president that are usually pushed cause big money will back them. Its a shock but its interesting
@mallyscott5558 This is the hardest coping I've seen in a while. Go look at a NYT comment section and you'll see the same sentiment over and over again
Attacking the bad issues of your opponent is how you win. Turn out that people actually care more about actual policy than they do a strawman argument. Shellenberger won this argument.
Well she says that it's because she was on the ticket with Biden, therefore Kamala has technically received the same number of votes to be the candidate as he has. She's basically refusing to acknowledge that the top of the ticket in a presidential race what people vote for.
Actually people did run against Biden, Rep. Dean Phillips from Minnesota and an author from Texas. RFK Jr has zero support from the party and his own family. So he had no real chance of beating Biden.
At his last speech, Trump literally repeated 3 times "You don't have to vote anymore. I'll take care of it." But you guys never take anything Trump says seriously. Because he's not a serious person at the end of the day.
@@razortagk1 let's end the duopoly.. that's what matters who cares red or blue we are over it. Peep may not like RFK or agree w everything but by electing a him EVERYTHING has to change.This is bigger than the next 4 years. They are scared of RFK but that's just a bonus. Remember when they show us polls ... it's polls they are doing. They tell us don't waste a vote ., vote for us? He is a spoiler.... yes he will spoil the 2 party system . congress senate etc This is not about RFK it's about USA
He isn’t wrong. & at this point, neither are you. Trade schools are a much better option for a real chance of a livelihood than Woke Yale University. An emotional intelligence degree will get you shot. Not a shot.
Agreed. And she keeps talking about all these votes the Biden-Harris ticket got when it’s already been proven that there was voter fraud. Her entire argument is based on a false premise. Embarrassed for her. 😂
@@PC-tc5je I actually finished my Masters 5 years ago. So thanks. There is world of difference between an honest yet not so intelligent lad and a smart condescending person who refuse to acknowledge reality. 🤭
Oh please, if Kamella ever got in we would be in big trouble. Look at what has gone on during their current administration, Americans need to look at our country. Honestly....
If they allowed anyone else to be run for the position of the democrat president nominee, they would HAVE to be with “their program.” RFK wasn’t.. which is why they forced him to run as an independent, when his INTENTION was to run as a democrat.
Not the point. He did start out running as a democrat. Shortly after, he was denied secretary of state service & more recently, denied a debate spot in stage with Biden & Trump. His family was one of the most influential democrat families EVER! You don’t think he WANTED to run as a democrat ?? There’s a reason he wasn’t polling well. He’s been pushed outta democrats way from the get go. They are bullies.
The gymnastics Jessica goes through to prove her point is nauseating. The point is this isn't a democratic process, but she's trying to argue "but people agree with it." Totally a different thing.
So sad that jessica was so confrontational. However, it was artful the way that she was diffused, and ceased trying to debate the issues. If we want to hear polarization, then we all know that we can go to mainstream media. This is not the place for that type of reporting. Perhaps she would be better suited to join one of the mainstream media news stations.
It doesn’t make sense why Jessica is so supportive of Kamala’s candidacy. First there were no real primaries, and the candidate for president was Biden not Harris. Sad to see Jessica completely sell out
The ticket was Biden-Harris, so the primary votes were for both of them. Same thing happened in 1968, LBJ dropped out because he was losing and the nomination went to his vice president. Also primaries aren’t mandatory, they are something the parties decided to do to replace the corrupt party boss system where nominations could essentially be bought. But the parties aren’t beholden to the primary results, the GOP could had totally nominated someone other than Trump.
The amount of cognitive gymnastics Jessica has to do to justify the actions of a corrupt Democratic Party is truly impressive and an indication of the insanity in store for us over the next several months.
No the Parties do get to decide, nowhere in the Constitution does it say anything about primaries, primaries are actually a recent thing, started in the 20th century to replace the crooked party boss system, before the primary system the head of the parties would choose the candidate based on what they promise in exchange, even had an issue with Rockefeller, Carnegie, Vanderbilt and Morgan buying a presidential candidate. But the decision of who is running has always been up to the parties, primaries are just the way they choose to do it but they aren’t beholden to it. Let us say Trump got to the RNC, they could have completely decided to not nominate him
All political parties are private organizations that gets to make up their own rules. They could have an open primary or not. Who decided who's on the Green Party? The Peace and Freedom Party? Most people never voted a primary for them... but they always make it to the ballot.
The level of concern expressed by these republicans over the processes taking place in the Democratic Party is ….Heartwarming? Or is it just plain meddlesome. Perhaps if they had something positive to say about DJT or his plans for our democracy, then they wouldn’t need to attack the opposition. …and BTW; it’s the Republicans in Ohio who have refused to extend their state’s deadline for identifying presidential candidates until after the democratic convention…..
And a lot of Trump voters are P.O.d that they have to run their awful candidate versus someone who's actually youthful, intelligent and inspiring! Again, listen to her in her own words. Not just your right-wing sound-bytes. PLEASE continue to underestimate Kamala!
@@razortagk1Kamala’s terrible track record as prosecutor and as politician speak far more loudly than her speeches do, to include the “right-wing sound-bytes” you keep mentioning in your comments. She’s awful in multiple ways and the Dem party - much as I disagree with nearly every policy they support and enact - should rightfully be upset she’s the nominee. …and no, it’s not because she’s a woman, or black, or any other demographic you may like to assign as the reason why she’s so disliked. I don’t care if she was a 3 foot tall Klingon, if she’s qualified then she’s qualified. Unfortunately in this case, she most certainly is not.
@@PurpleImpactStrategies Democracy isn’t impacted at all. First off, being chosen or elected as a party nominee is not the same as being elected for public office. Political parties have their own rules and can choose nominees however they wish. In this case, the DNC has rules in place for situations like this, which is to let the delegates themselves decide. Second off, Democratic and Republican parties universally adopted primaries and caucuses as recently as 1968, so they’re relatively new. Prior to that, the nominees were chosen in the convention. Basically no Democrats actually care about this year’s issue because everyone with common sense wants to see Trump lose and knows that there wasn’t enough time to choose a winning candidate via the primary process.
@@hillerm you're trying to talk around it but the party that is constantly talking about protecting and defending our democracy has now, for the third times in as many elections, chosen their nominee for their voters. Now you defend this by saying that it's not an election for office and that it's not required and yet it really is. Maybe not directly but indirect. How are democrat voters going to vote in who they want if the DNC refuses to let them select their nominee? In 2016 democrat voters wanted Bernie Sanders but the DNC wanted Hillary so they gave her the victory. So once the presidential election rolls around and the democrat voters want Sanders as president but they weren't given that option. Do you see now how what they're doing does in fact affect the democratic process?
The act of colluding to prevent Robert F. Kennedy from becoming a Democratic National Committee candidate in the absence of a primary election can be perceived as a subversion of the democratic process. Such actions serve to raise awareness regarding the existence of corruption within political circles.
THANK YOU Republicans are completely ignoring the fact that a vote for Biden was already a vote for a potential Harris POTUS. And as it stands, she has the support of her party anyway
no no no you voted for that in one singular term. if anything happens to biden the vice takes over and then it follows the voting process that involves the people voting once again on next said term. if vp wins the nom over every other canidate...great...kudos to them. did you not go to school? the whole point of creating a country was to avoid oligarchic rule which is one leader transitioning to another without choice. that is what took place in modern day with kamala just taking over
I'm a Democrat and I am passed that she is heir apparent to be the nominee. The DNC convention should pick the candidate. I feel that my vote in the primary was pointless.
The delegates have chosen her though and she has been endorsed by the top people in the party. And as for primaries, they aren’t mandatory and neither party is beholden to them.
@@razortagk1You do realize that RFK's speech issue is something that is completely out of his control and related to a health issue right? Kamala's issues are not out of her control. She just has sime bad speaking habits, which could be improved,with some training, if she's willing. Actors get training for things like this all the time.
This premise is flawed. Primaries only started when Theodore Roosevelt decided to take on Howard Taft to unseat him before his second term. Prior to that the nominee was selected at the convention by delegates without a primary at all. People who don’t read up on history often mistake habits for rules and laws, the primary system is just optional and isn’t laid out in any constitutional documents. Nor is it in any amendments. When a president steps down he is entitled to suggest his successor through endorsement of the candidate. No democracy was subverted by the party moving on to the next candidate when a president decides to bow out of re-election. It is a very common historical procedure for the vice president to be considered next in line. The money they made under the Biden/Harris ticket is also earmarked for her because she is Harris. Nothing to see here, this isn’t a procedural error or breaking of established rules.
I'm very upset by them annointing Kamala and the majority of the press tell us how "popular" she is. Because of this I won't be voting for the Democratic Party candidates.
It’s crazy how fast everyone in the democratic party not only got in line, but are enthusiastic about Kamala essentially being appointed as the nominee. They’re also acting like this is how it’s always been done, as if primaries never existed. Those of us who feel like we’re left without any good options are told by the likes of Hillary Clinton and other such elites to “get over ourselves.” “Vote blue no matter who…”. That’s democracy?
SUBVERT Democracy, About the Dems, Liberals, Progressives, Socialists. "We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come." -JG.
Some did, but no one listened. Same when the GOP nomination was stolen from Ron Paul. Certainly no media paid any attention and instead went along with the rigg and covered for it. Kinda makes you wonder why they are making a big deal about it now 🤔
Not as much because they didn’t know then what we all know now which is the party will subvert their voters if they feel it’s appropriate. This is partially how they have lost control of the narrative and must now blatantly do it right in front of everyone’s face. Luckily for them, their constituents tolerate this abusive relationship and will do what they’re told.
In a completely unrelated story, the person in charge of captioning posts at The Hill has been anointed with the coveted title of, "Worst Speller Ever".
So glad I left the cult called the Democratic Party 2 years ago. So I don't have to vote or defend this BS anymore. Quite liberating not to have that soul crushing feeling of voting for BS.
We as Americans didn’t get to see anyone else in the Democratic Party. Polls would have been able to help them see who the best candidate is. It doesn’t make sense I’d really like to see an open debate as there always is. How do they know she’s the best candidate to win without at least getting some feedback from the actual voters
Michael is 100 % right about Kamala. The party doesnt want anyone who doesnt like the corrupt corporate collusion with government. And you may notice on her website if she has any policies in writing I couldnt find them, and so far her policy action history does not inspire me, and actions speak louder than words. RFK is my choice.
So you are voting for a guy who has no chance and isn’t even on the ballot in all states? He has a zero path to 270 votes. He is so far behind Harris and Trump he isn’t even a factor
Jessica has her pro-Harris logic going up to a point: the American people have been able to watch Kamala for 3 years. Does the Democrat base still think Kamala is the best person to replace Biden? Don’t know, there was never the option.
My favorite part of each ad I have seen is her eyes very obviously reading a prompt. I get people do that but not so obviously. Also they have a few jump cuts for what is a simple 7 sentence statement.
Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian political ideology characterized by dictatorial power, extreme nationalism, and the suppression of opposition through censorship, propaganda, and state-controlled violence. It seeks to create a unified, homogenous society by glorifying the state and often centering on a charismatic leader who embodies the national will. Fascism rejects democratic governance and individual liberties, favoring a centralized autocratic regime that imposes strict social and economic regimentation. It often promotes myths of racial purity, cultural superiority, and a return to a perceived golden age, rallying the populace through fervent patriotic fervor, militarism, and the demonization of perceived enemies, both internal and external. Fascism thrives on the exploitation of fear, prejudice, and the promise of restoring lost greatness, all while systematically dismantling institutions of civil society and human rights.
The political parties are not government entities. They are private organizations whose internal workings are the subject to party leadership and not the government. Party "members" have enjoyed democratic inclusion in the nomination process, but only "recently", and we feel robbed when the leaders choose not to include us. Don't believe the myth that "anyone" can grow up to be president because it really helps if you have rich friends or family.
The dnc is a private organization that can make their own rules. Thats how they were allowed to change the rules after the primary started. They were taken to court and that was the ruling. Their name implies democratic but they are not. Vote for RFK jr, a man that believes the goverment should work for the people, not big money.
Obama wanted Mark Kelly as nominee because he KNOWS that Harris cannot win. Biden endorsed Harris as an 'asterisk you' to Obama (because Biden was still angry over being told by Obama that 'it's not your year, kid' because the DNC had decided that Hillary Clinton would be the 2016 nominee. He was also angry at being pushed out this this time, too.)
Why not wait for a wave of outrage among ordinary Dems over the choice of Kamala before deciding to join or back it? Frankly, I'm hearing crickets and I think I see a classic "solution in search of a problem."
Certain subjects flare up her TDS. She is terrified that orange man could come back and this subject reminds her of that so she needs to protect her candidate Zero 0️⃣ delegate Harris.
In part, she is out of her league and the other part is you just can’t defend what the Democratic Party is just done. It’s impossible by a reasonable thinking person.
Interesting. Of the two candidates for President, which has the following: - like (loces?) dictators: in Russia, China, and North Koroa - picks fights with our allies - only President to be impeached twice - convicted felon (not by a judge or prosecutor, but by 12 jurors that were randomly selected - owns and lives in one of the most expensive country clubs in the US - is close friends with several convicted felons - when President had one of his close friends, who had no experience building retaining walls, given the contract to build the wall south of El Paso, which collapsed shortly after it was built - keeps yelling the "electio0⁰n was stollen", but has produced zero evidence to prove it, in spite of over 50 court case that said it was not (some Republican and some Democrat judges People criticize Biden and Harris but support this person. Leaves me wondering: WHY?
Both of the main parties are very different than they used to be especially up to January 2010 when the Supreme Court struck down all caps on the amount of money a person or corporation could give to a PAC, thereby, creating Super PACs. That when everything started going south. Politicians of both main parties bend the knee to the big donor corporations who strongly expect politicians to vote Their way. And like my brother always used to try to pound into people’s heads, “Corporations do NOT care about You!”
Harris has all the delegates she needs to win, and then some. The delegates will vote in August. Does this guy know how the rules work at all? The party agrees, this is what is required at this moment.
If there is a Harris challenger... no one is preventing them from coming forward. If someone else announced a run for the Dem ticket... then they would hold a primary. Why hold a Primary if you only have one applicant??
I couldn’t disagree with Michael Shellenberger more. This is exactly how our democratic republic is supposed to work. Our delegates are pledging their support, and they will make it official at the convention. If an individual feels like they were misrepresented in this regard, they can choose not to vote in the final, but this is exactly how it is supposed to work. That’s why we vote for delegates
Biden should have stepped down as president NOW (actually last year) with Harris assuming his role. He has no business being there now, knowing how his brain is functioning.
Compared to who? Donald Trump? The man who can barely string together a coherent sentence and speaks in gibberish word salads most of the time? Who rants about non-existent electric boats that are too heavy to float and will electrocute you or leave you to be eaten by a shark? Who constantly rants about his 'friend' Hannibal Lecter, who he seems to believe is a real person?
Americans: It is an impressive moment in American history. Perhaps I may be allowed to repeat a brief reflection. Many political commentators have declared this election to be the most significant since 1864, when Abraham Lincoln ran for a second term against the Democratic candidate, George McClellan. The future of our beloved nation was at stake that year. Had Lincoln lost, the Civil War would have ended precipitously and the miserable evils of slavery would have remained legal in the Confederate States, and perhaps even in the North. If Lincoln had been defeated, the Union would have been torn apart. Thank God, Mr. Lincoln won, even though it cost him his life! We now approach another presidential election that has enormous implications for the stability of our democratic system of government. In fact, Newt Gingrich said that what we face now could end civilization as we know it. He may have been referring to a possible revolution. Regardless, I believe his deep concern for our nation is valid. For centuries, America has been a shining light for freedom and liberty in our nation and around the world. If we abandon our core values, the world will suffer for it. The binary choice before us is that stark How will you and Americans decide who to vote for as our CEO? I have heard from dozens of friends and acquaintances in recent weeks who tell me that they will base their decision solely on rhetoric, others on the failure of the processes of attrition that the North American radical left has presented to them. Others due to the style or friendliness of the candidate. Does that describe your thought process? "This is not a middle school or high school popularity/personality contest.

You can't save democracy by ignoring and over stepping democracy.
Incumbent Biden inheriting a nomination for a 2nd term is not a democratic process. Don't act like the Dems voted for him to have a 2nd term. He and Kamala were duly elected in 2020, and now he's passed the torch. Quit your whining that now your guy is the "old guy".

It's hilarious how Jessica ALWAYS has to have the last word just so she can make sure her word twisting propaganda is the last thing that Rising viewers hear in every clip because she knows that that's what sways people... The last thing they hear. It's also funny how she kept trying to force Michael to accede to him saying coup and to answer for Jan 6th when he never used the word and had nothing to do with Jan 6th, the Republicans, or Trump. You could see the bemusement on his face that said how tiresome her propaganda and spiraling half truths are. She's so deliberately dishonest.
Agree, and I thought Brihanna was bad She takes the cake🙄
When the media is done using you for a puppet are you just going to sit there and collect dust?
Michael’s patronizing grin was like a wise father deferring to compassion for his daughter - mercy from savaging her worldview. But that father soon learns wisdom, realizing that her coddled mind grew into a feral beast of pathological narcissism, that his daughter is gone to an invasive parasite that used her as a vessel for the subversive ends of a Gnostic political religion.
@@jacquelinerussell8530 I seems like this journalist is protecting the values that where, not how it is these days according to Michael Shellenberger.
Its undisputed fact, undisputed from trumps lawyers : Donald Trump tried to overturn an election through mike pence, so how did he have nothing to do with it?
I could have swore that America was a Constutional Republic, but hey, what do I know ,I'm just a dumb Midwestern.
Primaries and how candidates are chosen are not in the Constitution are up for the parties to decide. Only thing the Constitution lays out if the 3 conditions to run for President and that elections must be unobstructed and when they are held. Everything else is left to the states and the parties
HARRIS IS NOT CONSTITUTIONALLY ELIGIBLE TO EITHER THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT(Art.IIS1CL5) _OR_ VICE-PRESIDENT(12th Amendment) OF THE UNITED STATES.
She was born to NON-U.S. Citizen Parents thus inheriting at the moment of birth, the Citizenship Status of said parents via the powerful 'right of the blood'(jus sanguinis)
Had the Founders/Framers intended for eligibility to this most High Office to extend to folks who had merely been born within the territory then they would have stated as much , THEY DIDN'T ~ Where do we find in the Constitution either of the following:
_'No person except one born on U.S. Soil..'_ or _'No person except one born within the territorial limits/jurisdiction of the United States..shall be eligible..'_ etc. ?
WE DON'T !
THIS IS WHAT WE DO FIND: _'No person except a natural born Citizen..shall be eligible..'_
David Ramsay "A Dissertation on the Manner of Acquiring the Character & Privileges of a Citizen of the United States" (1789):
_"..citizenship as a _*_natural right_*_ belongs to none but those who have been born of citizens since the 4th of July, 1776."_
John Bingham, AKA “Father of the 14th Amendment”, Abolitionist, Congressman, prosecuted Lincoln’s assassins states:
“Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States _of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty_ is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866)
Supreme Court of the United States Elk v. Wilkins (1884)
Quote: _''...children of aliens, ... must necessarily remain themselves subject to the same sovereignty as their parents , and cannot, in the nature of things, be, any more than their parents, completely subject to the jurisdiction of such other country.''_
Supreme Court Chief Justice, Melville Fuller administered the Oath of Office to 5 Presidents
Fuller speaks : "Considering the circumstances surrounding the framing of the Constitution, it is UNREASONABLE TO CONCLUDE THAT "natural-born citizen" APPLIED TO EVERYBODY born within the geographical tract known as the United States, irrespective of circumstances- ... _THE CHILDREN OF FOREIGNERS,..ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO THE PRESIDENCY_ ."
It’s now wildly known around the world as an oligarchy hybrid
The only ones who aren’t privy to this information is most of Americans unfortunately. 🙄
Constitutional republic and democracy are the same thing
We are… with a democratic process. Don’t confuse the two.
She's worried about the use of the word 'coup', but has no problem throwing the word 'genocide' around like candy at Halloween.
😂😂. Hypocrisy is the tribute Vice pays to virtue. And neuroticism, hedonism & nihilism are the foundations of her subversive, Gnostic-cult ideology - which always & eventually becomes pathological narcissism (they can no longer perceive the hypocrisy & double standards nor distinguish their own propaganda from reality). I’m not sure where Jess is on this course.
Long time Democrat (35 years) here. I switched parties 2 years ago...in 2016, Bernie Sanders was way more popular than Hillary Clinton. I'm a Gemini, and during 2016, my work had me speaking to people all over the United States daily and nearly every Democrat I spoke with, roughly 75% in my estimation, was on team Sanders...just look at his rallys compared to hers. Most all of us were shocked when Hillary Clinton got the nomination. Lots of funny business went into that....with a coin toss to handle a caucus tie. They then used CNN/MSNBC to spread a lie that Bernie Sanders supporters threw chairs at the state Democratic convention in Nevada. Sanders supporters were rightly upset in Nevada because Barbara Boxer showed up in a state where she didn't belong to let the Democrats know that although Sanders was more popular and appeared to have won the vote in Nevada, they were giving the win to Clinton because_______ (I forget but it was something like the Sanders campaign signed on the wrong line of some pre-election form. Again, just like the drop boxes and mail in ballots that were automatically sent to all Democrats here in Georgia the Democrats manipulated and engaged in tricks. Many were filming the convention in Nevada, including professionals hired to do so. No chairs were thrown but the story continued for days on television. During 2016 Kamala and Biden were part of the bottom of the barrel of candidates during the primary. Just this year I had an Eureka moment....when Democrats say Donald Trump will be the end of Democracy. It turns out that Democracy means "The ideas of the Democratic party elite" and I finally said good riddance.
Ok.. this is the stupidest post all day. You talk about how you identify with every Democratic position, but then voted for Trump because you were mad at the party's procedure. ....Right.
😊 Also, Trump wants to do away with the 2028 elections, so you won't have to worry about being conflicted again.
There's no way that Jessica actually thinks about anything that comes out of her mouth. She has a line she read from a party spokesperson somewhere that she likes and she will just keep repeating the line over and over about how "democracy" is whatever the party says it is. No matter how many times she is confronted with different lines of questioning she just repeats the exact same thing that doesn't mean what she thinks it means.
Yep - she said she was in Bernie's campaign - and she's defending what the DNC did in 2016? Nuts.

@@waterkingdavid Wait you're saying Shellenberger in this clip is misogynist? What did he say that wasn't true? I didn't hear anything that even sounded remotely tinged with misogyny. Seems like sorta a cop out criticism. And if you've paid attention to this show at all, you know Jessica is pretty clear in her political views.
And yes, everything Michael is saying is true. Is it a coup? No not really but was Biden forced out against his will? Absolutely he was. He made clear that he wanted to run over and over again. They spent 3 weeks in a very public, very humiliating pressure campaign to force him out, pull his donations, non-stop leaking to the press and apparently rumors of invoking the 25th amendment unless he stepped aside. They humiliated him. They stabbed him in the back. The fact of the matter is, we're in an unprecedented situation. You can't even really compare this to Hubert Humphrey in 1968 because LBJ stepped down DURING the primaries and Hubert Humphrey wasn't just immediately coronated as the party's nominee 24 hours later.
Now we're left in a situation again where a nominee for President is a heartbeat away from the Presidency, and yet as of now hasn't actually been an active Presidential candidate when any primary voting took place. Even in 2020, she dropped out before the first state voted. She hasn't won a single delegate, a single state, or a single vote as a candidate for President. And yet, she could be President. She's also very far left, just going by her record in the Senate. Usually candidates like her tend to be vetted and eventually screened out during the primaries for a more moderate candidate who will have broader appeal in a national electorate. That's how you got Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, as opposed to Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. She was able to bypass that entire process. The voters who cast a primary vote for Joe Biden, weren't doing so because they wanted Kamala Harris to be President. There's no other way to put it.
I think a lot of people have an issue with this, generally speaking. Not so much partisan Democrats who will vote blue no matter who, but more conservative democrats, independents, or anti-establishment types. It seems undemocratic on its face. I personally have a huge problem with it as an Independent and I'm not going to support it, it goes against the core idea of how our representative government is supposed to work. I think any President should have to earn their nomination through the primary process and be vetted and chosen by the voters to represent their party. I don't love the idea that billionaires and kingmakers within the party can place their thumb on the scale like this and force the outcome they want, even if it's legal.
Remember when they insisted on being called the 'democratic' party?
They were doing that well before they seceded from the union.
Plenty of Democrats have been complaining about how they have been handling these past few elections, especially when Bernie got railroaded, and she worked for him but still downplays it. The key word she used was establishment.
I’m so done with Democrats. I voted for Bernie twice and was supporting Kennedy and they did not even consider him. Voting Independent for Kennedy and honestly will vote for republicans down ballot just in spite of what they are doing. Jessica is just another vote blue no matter who person. 🤦🏻♂️

@@JohnHerzfeld-on3og true but the Republicans do the same thing. The only reason they continue with trump is bc maga has the party in a chokehold. If they could primary trump they would.

They didn't really have a primary in 2020. That's how this goes. It's just more noticeable with the Dems bc Trump's base is so popular and the Dems have won most of the elections in the past 20 years
@@gugy68 ur spiting nobody but yourself. Vote for trump or Harris bc those are the only ones that are going to win. Makes no sense to vote for a third candidate. It's literally pointless
Bernie is only a Democrat when it benefits him, so he can use their resources, why would they support a grifter?
A lot of people voted for Joe and had no choice but to get Kamala.
Doesn't mean they are willing to vote for her now!
*They were still cheated from choosing their own nominee in the primaries because Biden didn't drop out sooner. It was obviously planned to subvert the will of the American voter!*
She has ran for president before and she lost badly!
It's presumptuous of you to think people just accepted Kamala because they had no choice.
Why not having Democrat Primary election now? And let the people choose they presidential candidate?
Political parties are private organizations. They're nothing in the constitution that requires them to do anything besides offering a qualifying candidate. Primary elections are done as a courtesy... but isn't required.
Because donor $ had dried up. Without Harris on the ticket the 200 million dollars has to be refunded along with the 90 million Biden had in his campaign funds (thats currently in contention by the FEC)
This is what happens when people want a certain outcome and only see what supports that outcome.
It weird to even hear this argument when her name was on the primary ticket and the voters voted for her as VP to take over if something happened to Biden.
Because the MAGA folks are coming to realize they bet on the wrong horse and they are grasping at straws
During the administration only. Becoming the candidate for the next term is supposed to be achieved through a genuine democratic process.
The modern Democrats are full on fascists.
If you don't want to call it a coup, fine. But party leadership did effectively force Biden out. I agree with Jessica that party rules allow them to do this, but I disagree with her that just because the majority of Democrats wanted Biden out, that democracy was preserved because it was party leadership that covered up Biden's health. What should have happened was they pushed him out a couple of years ago, or Kamala used the 25th A. and then a primary could have taken place having given voters a chance to experience a Harris presidency for comparison.
Wouldn't that be something? When was the DNC again?
Yeah, the problem is that just because the party elites set up rules that allow them to just swap out a candidate that they don't like, doesn't somehow make that righteous lol. That's kind of a crazy argument. Well the corrupt people made a rule that allows them to steal, so I guess it's okay lol
Sorry but the Dem's like the puppet (Biden) and didn't want to give that relationship up.
I have a weird feeling about the way biden dropping out went. He was so adamant about staying in even up to the morning of the day he dropped out and then he waited 6 days to address the nation about it??? And it's a little weird with how Obama waited as long as he did to endorse her almost like he wasn't to particularly fond of her. I'm leaning towards her and the rest of the demacrats got together while he was gone and threatened to use the 25th against him but she made a deal that she wouldn't if he endorsed her. Idk but the way everything went down in that Is incredibly suspicious.

The polls said Democrats wanted Biden out. The polls did not say 65% if Democrats wanted Harris in. Jessica confuses thus point intentionally.
Well she says that it's because she was on the ticket with Biden, therefore Kamala has technically received the same number of votes to be the candidate as he has. She's basically refusing to acknowledge that the top of the ticket in a presidential race what people vote for.
You can vote for who you want.
She was literally elected btw on the same ticket
No the problem is that he was like this 6 months ago!!! Why block RFK or anyone else to run! Y’all act like this is all new!
Actually people did run against Biden, Rep. Dean Phillips from Minnesota and an author from Texas. RFK Jr has zero support from the party and his own family. So he had no real chance of beating Biden.
“The appointment of Kamala Harris is Bureaucratic not Democratic”.
Considering the form of democracy they practice and what they consider a threat to it gives me great pause.

If they allowed anyone else to be run for the position of the democrat president nominee, they would HAVE to be with “their program.” RFK wasn’t.. which is why they forced him to run as an independent, when his INTENTION was to run as a democrat.
RFK wasn't polling good and several states have sore loser laws 😂
Not the point. He did start out running as a democrat. Shortly after, he was denied secretary of state service & more recently, denied a debate spot in stage with Biden & Trump. His family was one of the most influential democrat families EVER! You don’t think he WANTED to run as a democrat ?? There’s a reason he wasn’t polling well.

It doesn’t make sense why Jessica is so supportive of Kamala’s candidacy. First there were no real primaries, and the candidate for president was Biden not Harris. Sad to see Jessica completely sell out
The ticket was Biden-Harris, so the primary votes were for both of them. Same thing happened in 1968, LBJ dropped out because he was losing and the nomination went to his vice president. Also primaries aren’t mandatory, they are something the parties decided to do to replace the corrupt party boss system where nominations could essentially be bought. But the parties aren’t beholden to the primary results, the GOP could had totally nominated someone other than Trump.
The amount of cognitive gymnastics Jessica has to do to justify the actions of a corrupt Democratic Party is truly impressive and an indication of the insanity in store for us over the next several months.
agreed
Nothing corrupt happened... biden stepped down and the elected successor stepped up..
Jessica is wrong "Parties" do not get to decide who the candidate is. THE VOTERS do.
Most states only allow voters in their party to decide their candidates.
No the Parties do get to decide, nowhere in the Constitution does it say anything about primaries, primaries are actually a recent thing, started in the 20th century to replace the crooked party boss system, before the primary system the head of the parties would choose the candidate based on what they promise in exchange, even had an issue with Rockefeller, Carnegie, Vanderbilt and Morgan buying a presidential candidate. But the decision of who is running has always been up to the parties, primaries are just the way they choose to do it but they aren’t beholden to it.
Let us say Trump got to the RNC, they could have completely decided to not nominate him
All political parties are private organizations that gets to make up their own rules. They could have an open primary or not. Who decided who's on the Green Party? The Peace and Freedom Party? Most people never voted a primary for them... but they always make it to the ballot.
Democrats are happy with Kamala..she is 2nd in command already..she was chosen in 2020

Perhaps if they had something positive to say about DJT or his plans for our democracy, then they wouldn’t need to attack the opposition.
…and BTW; it’s the Republicans in Ohio who have refused to extend their state’s deadline for identifying presidential candidates until after the democratic convention…..
This was the plan all along. Thats why they wanted a debate so early.
Stop crying about this let the Superman debate Harris and if he doesn’t win all republicans voters stay home on Election Day problem solved

No political party is required to choose their nominee through the primary election process.
Oh but that democracy right?
@@PurpleImpactStrategies Democracy isn’t impacted at all.
First off, being chosen or elected as a party nominee is not the same as being elected for public office. Political parties have their own rules and can choose nominees however they wish. In this case, the DNC has rules in place for situations like this, which is to let the delegates themselves decide.
Second off, Democratic and Republican parties universally adopted primaries and caucuses as recently as 1968, so they’re relatively new. Prior to that, the nominees were chosen in the convention.
Basically no Democrats actually care about this year’s issue because everyone with common sense wants to see Trump lose and knows that there wasn’t enough time to choose a winning candidate via the primary process.
@@hillerm you're trying to talk around it but the party that is constantly talking about protecting and defending our democracy has now, for the third times in as many elections, chosen their nominee for their voters.
Now you defend this by saying that it's not an election for office and that it's not required and yet it really is. Maybe not directly but indirect. How are democrat voters going to vote in who they want if the DNC refuses to let them select their nominee?
In 2016 democrat voters wanted Bernie Sanders but the DNC wanted Hillary so they gave her the victory. So once the presidential election rolls around and the democrat voters want Sanders as president but they weren't given that option. Do you see now how what they're doing does in fact affect the democratic process?
The act of colluding to prevent Robert F. Kennedy from becoming a Democratic National Committee candidate in the absence of a primary election can be perceived as a subversion of the democratic process. Such actions serve to raise awareness regarding the existence of corruption within political circles.

This premise is flawed. Primaries only started when Theodore Roosevelt decided to take on Howard Taft to unseat him before his second term. Prior to that the nominee was selected at the convention by delegates without a primary at all. People who don’t read up on history often mistake habits for rules and laws, the primary system is just optional and isn’t laid out in any constitutional documents. Nor is it in any amendments. When a president steps down he is entitled to suggest his successor through endorsement of the candidate. No democracy was subverted by the party moving on to the next candidate when a president decides to bow out of re-election. It is a very common historical procedure for the vice president to be considered next in line. The money they made under the Biden/Harris ticket is also earmarked for her because she is Harris. Nothing to see here, this isn’t a procedural error or breaking of established rules.
I'm very upset by them annointing Kamala and the majority of the press tell us how "popular" she is. Because of this I won't be voting for the Democratic Party candidates.
Her campaign earned $200 million dollars in a week… doubt you vote will affect anything with all the younger voters voting
"65% of Dems wanted JB to step aside" - an opinion poll not an election. Nor was it a endorsement or election of Harris.
Poor Jessica….you just haven’t gotten the memo yet.
It’s crazy how fast everyone in the democratic party not only got in line, but are enthusiastic about Kamala essentially being appointed as the nominee. They’re also acting like this is how it’s always been done, as if primaries never existed. Those of us who feel like we’re left without any good options are told by the likes of Hillary Clinton and other such elites to “get over ourselves.” “Vote blue no matter who…”. That’s democracy?
He couldn’t beat trump everyone new it , and after they failed In butler Pa , 5 days later he resined ! That just might have happened ?
The shooter was a registered Republican
Smh i hated when this Jessica was a guest host now that she is a regular i can't watch this podcast. She is insufferable
Jessica kickin it off with that scowl. Oh buy…this gonna be another rollercoaster argument
That's just her RBF.
SUBVERT Democracy, About the Dems, Liberals, Progressives, Socialists. "We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come." -JG.
Did anyone cry this much when Hillary was chosen over Bernie?
Some did, but no one listened. Same when the GOP nomination was stolen from Ron Paul. Certainly no media paid any attention and instead went along with the rigg and covered for it. Kinda makes you wonder why they are making a big deal about it now 🤔
I did...twice
Bernie never led in a single poll against Trump. Americans don't want socialism, full stop
Yeah, yeah they did
Not as much because they didn’t know then what we all know now which is the party will subvert their voters if they feel it’s appropriate. This is partially how they have lost control of the narrative and must now blatantly do it right in front of everyone’s face. Luckily for them, their constituents tolerate this abusive relationship and will do what they’re told.
What a bunch of nonsense. The Democratic party can choose whoever they want at the convention. Get over it.
Exactly what he is saying. Who is the party? The voters. Were the voters given the option to choose? The answer is NO.
In a completely unrelated story, the person in charge of captioning posts at The Hill has been anointed with the coveted title of, "Worst Speller Ever".
Who else wants to be the Democratic nominee? And did they go out and collect the necessary signatures to participate in the primary?
I used to watch the Hill because it was a nice break from other news sites but now I watch it purely to hear Jessica's horrible takes on politics.
I rarely trust anyone named Jeßica
This is not a coup but probably considered a soft coup
Republicans speaking of subverting democracy is so rich
She says Dem for 3 Party System… BUT Biden/Harris support packing Supreme Court If that isn’t interfering, what is??? Which is the lie??
“We’re here to save democracy whether you like it or not”
Democrats 😅
So glad I left the cult called the Democratic Party 2 years ago. So I don't have to vote or defend this BS anymore. Quite liberating not to have that soul crushing feeling of voting for BS.
There's still a smoke-filled room, but the cigars have been replaced with pumpkin-spice candles.
Jessica is blowing smoke up our AZZES
Tom Cotton didn't answer directly because, whoever that Teleprompter-reader is, knows darn well there is such thing as a "bloodless coup."
.. was J6 a coup?..
They really want it to be.
It was a Peaceful protest extremely peaceful by their own standards at that.
We as Americans didn’t get to see anyone else in the Democratic Party. Polls would have been able to help them see who the best candidate is. It doesn’t make sense I’d really like to see an open debate as there always is. How do they know she’s the best candidate to win without at least getting some feedback from the actual voters
Michael is 100 % right about Kamala. The party doesnt want anyone who doesnt like the corrupt corporate collusion with government. And you may notice on her website if she has any policies in writing I couldnt find them, and so far her policy action history does not inspire me, and actions speak louder than words. RFK is my choice.
So you are voting for a guy who has no chance and isn’t even on the ballot in all states? He has a zero path to 270 votes. He is so far behind Harris and Trump he isn’t even a factor
Jessica has her pro-Harris logic going up to a point: the American people have been able to watch Kamala for 3 years. Does the Democrat base still think Kamala is the best person to replace Biden? Don’t know, there was never the option.
There was an ad with Kamala asking for $10 at the beginning of this video! How funny is that?
My favorite part of each ad I have seen is her eyes very obviously reading a prompt. I get people do that but not so obviously. Also they have a few jump cuts for what is a simple 7 sentence statement.
The show doesn't pick the adds, you tube does.
@@adriennelaf5083 I know, the irony just jumps out at one doesn't it?
The Kamala train is rollin - Picking up folks from ALL stops along the way.
@@razortagk1 That just shows the sad lack of real choice Americans have in our leadership.
Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian political ideology characterized by dictatorial power, extreme nationalism, and the suppression of opposition through censorship, propaganda, and state-controlled violence. It seeks to create a unified, homogenous society by glorifying the state and often centering on a charismatic leader who embodies the national will. Fascism rejects democratic governance and individual liberties, favoring a centralized autocratic regime that imposes strict social and economic regimentation. It often promotes myths of racial purity, cultural superiority, and a return to a perceived golden age, rallying the populace through fervent patriotic fervor, militarism, and the demonization of perceived enemies, both internal and external. Fascism thrives on the exploitation of fear, prejudice, and the promise of restoring lost greatness, all while systematically dismantling institutions of civil society and human rights.
Jessica is so out of her debt on this and pretty much every issue
The word it depth not debt
The political parties are not government entities. They are private organizations whose internal workings are the subject to party leadership and not the government. Party "members" have enjoyed democratic inclusion in the nomination process, but only "recently", and we feel robbed when the leaders choose not to include us. Don't believe the myth that "anyone" can grow up to be president because it really helps if you have rich friends or family.
The dnc is a private organization that can make their own rules. Thats how they were allowed to change the rules after the primary started. They were taken to court and that was the ruling. Their name implies democratic but they are not. Vote for RFK jr, a man that believes the goverment should work for the people, not big money.
Obama wanted Mark Kelly as nominee because he KNOWS that Harris cannot win. Biden endorsed Harris as an 'asterisk you' to Obama (because Biden was still angry over being told by Obama that 'it's not your year, kid' because the DNC had decided that Hillary Clinton would be the 2016 nominee. He was also angry at being pushed out this this time, too.)
Why not wait for a wave of outrage among ordinary Dems over the choice of Kamala before deciding to join or back it? Frankly, I'm hearing crickets and I think I see a classic "solution in search of a problem."
Jessica: No one voted for Kamala, but they kind of did so that's good enough because we're saving democracy from bad orange man.
What the heck happened to Jessica?
Certain subjects flare up her TDS. She is terrified that orange man could come back and this subject reminds her of that so she needs to protect her candidate
Zero 0️⃣ delegate Harris.
In part, she is out of her league and the other part is you just can’t defend what the Democratic Party is just done. It’s impossible by a reasonable thinking person.
Who is she? Trump is okay with checks and balances…but the leftists don’t play using the same rules. So be better at fairness…Chica!
It is hard to believe that Jessica worked on the Bernie campaign.
The people might have chosen Bernie in 2016. We will never know.
Trump 2024!!
Man that look on Jessica's face is priceless. She just can't accept the reality that nobody voted for Kamala.
It's their party, they'll do what they have to.
To win? And is your comment pro or anti dem party?
@@ja6975 neither, just an observation
It’s not their party it belongs to the people but in this case the people are 🤡
And they have proven to be against the very democracy they preach about
Interesting. Of the two candidates for President, which has the following:
- like (loces?) dictators: in Russia, China, and North Koroa
- picks fights with our allies
- only President to be impeached twice
- convicted felon (not by a judge or prosecutor, but by 12 jurors that were randomly selected
- owns and lives in one of the most expensive country clubs in the US
- is close friends with several convicted felons
- when President had one of his close friends, who had no experience building retaining walls, given the contract to build the wall south of El Paso, which collapsed shortly after it was built
- keeps yelling the "electio0⁰n was stollen", but has produced zero evidence to prove it, in spite of over 50 court case that said it was not (some Republican and some Democrat judges
People criticize Biden and Harris but support this person. Leaves me wondering: WHY?
Why is Jessica still here?
Both of the main parties are very different than they used to be especially up to January 2010 when the Supreme Court struck down all caps on the amount of money a person or corporation could give to a PAC, thereby, creating Super PACs.
That when everything started going south. Politicians of both main parties bend the knee to the big donor corporations who strongly expect politicians to vote Their way.
And like my brother always used to try to pound into people’s heads, “Corporations do NOT care about You!”
Harris has all the delegates she needs to win, and then some. The delegates will vote in August. Does this guy know how the rules work at all? The party agrees, this is what is required at this moment.
Shellenberger looks like his trying so hard not to burst into laughter 😆
If there is a Harris challenger... no one is preventing them from coming forward. If someone else announced a run for the Dem ticket... then they would hold a primary. Why hold a Primary if you only have one applicant??
I couldn’t disagree with Michael Shellenberger more. This is exactly how our democratic republic is supposed to work. Our delegates are pledging their support, and they will make it official at the convention. If an individual feels like they were misrepresented in this regard, they can choose not to vote in the final, but this is exactly how it is supposed to work.
That’s why we vote for delegates
Biden should have stepped down as president NOW (actually last year) with Harris assuming his role. He has no business being there now, knowing how his brain is functioning.
Compared to who? Donald Trump? The man who can barely string together a coherent sentence and speaks in gibberish word salads most of the time? Who rants about non-existent electric boats that are too heavy to float and will electrocute you or leave you to be eaten by a shark? Who constantly rants about his 'friend' Hannibal Lecter, who he seems to believe is a real person?

@Usmcpb what r the alternatives
Americans:
It is an impressive moment in American history. Perhaps I may be allowed to repeat a brief reflection.
Many political commentators have declared this election to be the most significant since 1864, when Abraham Lincoln ran for a second term against the Democratic candidate, George McClellan. The future of our beloved nation was at stake that year. Had Lincoln lost, the Civil War would have ended precipitously and the miserable evils of slavery would have remained legal in the Confederate States, and perhaps even in the North. If Lincoln had been defeated, the Union would have been torn apart. Thank God, Mr. Lincoln won, even though it cost him his life!
We now approach another presidential election that has enormous implications for the stability of our democratic system of government. In fact, Newt Gingrich said that what we face now could end civilization as we know it. He may have been referring to a possible revolution. Regardless, I believe his deep concern for our nation is valid. For centuries, America has been a shining light for freedom and liberty in our nation and around the world. If we abandon our core values, the world will suffer for it. The binary choice before us is that stark
How will you and Americans decide who to vote for as our CEO? I have heard from dozens of friends and acquaintances in recent weeks who tell me that they will base their decision solely on rhetoric, others on the failure of the processes of attrition that the North American radical left has presented to them. Others due to the style or friendliness of the candidate. Does that describe your thought process?
