It's hard to make a politician advocate for election reform if the political candidate wins in a FPTP process. People would say the reason a candidate advocates for election reform is because he lost the election. Question: Which class of American society would be an effective advocate for election reform???

Hello Andrew! I hope I'm not too late to ask my question. It's not really a question but your thoughts. The other day, Bloomberg donated 1billion to John Hopkins University to make tuition free for most students!

[@brianmurphy5313]

I'm a supporter of RFK Jr. In random order, here's some of my reasons for supporting RFK Jr... -genuinely wants to heal the 'culture war' divide in our country, and he has the ability to, being liked by many different 'types' of people from across the spectrum of issues and ideas, who are tired of the 2-party duopoly -has integrity, has courage, truth seeker in general, thinks for himself (not a DNC/RNC puppet) -incorruptible, cannot be bought or bullied -thoughtful and introspective, deeply considers problems and possible solutions -vocal about the corruption of 'Citizens United' and the power of the big private money controlling government -vocal about putting an end to corporate capture over government (Pharma, banks, oil, big AG, military industrial complex) -wants to get us out of 'forever wars' and to pull back on and expose the corruption within the military industrial complex -wants to pull back NATO and resolve the Ukraine war via negotiations with Putin, rather than perpetuating the escalation (which could truly lead to the most dire outcome imaginable) -wants to bring the military budget back to 'Eisenhower minimum' and to instead invest that money in making us strong at home and in correcting our outrageous debt and growing inflation -dedicated to rebuilding the Middle Class in our country -dedicated to creating our country as a moral exemplar and economic force in the world, rather than as a militaristic bully -vocal about the dishonesty and agendas of commercial media -wants to abolish all pharmaceutical advertisements on television (this has major influence on the 'news' narratives) -wants to keep the pharmaceutical industry honest with safety testing, transparency, etc -wants to get rid of government assist crony capitalism and subsidies for big ag, oil, etc -advocate for civil liberties -vocally against censorship (will pardon Snowden and Assange on 'day 1') -against mandates and police state-like policies -classical liberal sensibilities with respect of others (without the 'woke' or fake identity politics) -vocal commitment to transparency regarding FBI, CIA, NSA over-stepping and out-stepping -would put the federal budget on blockchain to be fully transparent for all citizens -passionate about environmental and ecological concerns -passionate about investing in regenerative farming practice -passionate about cleaning our food supply and exposing the unhealthy ingredients in processed 'foods' -wants to bring preventative health more into public discourse; nutrition, exercise, etc -will immediately close the border (this is not some republican scare issue, it is a very major issue - for many reasons) -will send the necessary Asylum Judges to the border to expedite the process for legal migrants -has an excellent plan to make homes affordable for all, including a program that backs mortgages at 3% and a tax structure to keep Black Rock from continuing to buy everyone out (this also will bring rent costs down dramatically) -due to his family/background, he's well-learned from the inside of the various power structures -due to his decades as an attorney successfully taking on major corporations, as well as government regulatory corruption, he is exceptionally well-suited for taking on the myriad of corporate capture over our government *I wrote the list above many months before Oct 7, 2023. I should add, especially directed towards my brothers and sisters of the populist 'left' and populist 'right', 'progressives', 'libertarians', and people who are just antiwar, in general... -RFK Jr. is in support of Israel (as am I). However, this in no way means he isn't also in support of helping the innocent people within Gaza. RFK Jr. has always been very aware of the conditions for the people within Gaza, and is especially aware of, and feels deep heartache for, the Hell they are living in now. He is a person who, as President, would do all he could to help seek lasting peace and prosperity for all in the region -although RFK Jr. is a supporter of Israel, he is not a fan of Netanyahu, and has said repeatedly that he would not be writing him a blank check with American dollars to do with as he wishes -there is no one who would fight harder or more tirelessly to reach out to everyone involved, as well as to leaders outside of the region, to try to negotiate and implement a sustainable peaceful solution for both the Israelis and the Palestinians. RFK Jr. would bring many ideas and a commitment to approaching the problem there from several different angles, and involving several other players. In fact, he would have been doing this before Oct. 7. (Simply yelling 'apartheid', 'genocide', etc is not in service of an actual solution - ask Hamas) -and unlike anyone from the 2 major parties who supports Israel, RFK Jr. would never be lead by the corrupt (and disgusting) sheer financial interests of the Military Industrial Complex when it comes to any of America's foreign policy; including with Israel

[@chillonfunsmart4929]

RFK won the debate,. You would think Andrew Yang would give an analysis of the real debate, but I guess corporatists support corporatists... The CNN coverage was utterly pointless to watch because the real debate was far more substantive and Worthy of the American people's attention, and you still got to see everything that CNN debate had in it with the added benefit fit of seeing the one candidate that actually gives a fuck about our country speak to the issues that Trump and Biden both glazed over. I was truly one of Andrew Yang's biggest supporters when he ran, and the Democratic party utterly screwed him over. It was sad to see him endorse Joe Biden afterwards, but I understood the fear that led to that decision back then. But endorsing Joe Biden in 2024 is inexcusable and shameful. Set the cognitive decline down for a second and Biden still has a history of corruption, he still used his presidency to violate our constitutional rights and enforce censorship and authoritarianism. The media made Trump seymours when he was in office, but he never made life so hard for Americans in terms of policy, just in terms of rhetoric. I'm not claiming Trump is worth voting for, cuz he's not. But to say that Biden is worth voting for because Trump is worse is a shameful fear-based mentality that will only ever elect tyrants. Vote out of Hope instead out of fear. Vote Robert Kennedy Jr, because it would be nice too for once have some integrity in the white house.

I'm still voting for Andrew

[@TikkyTakMoo]

4:50 Andrew and Bernie are the only two people who would have a chance if Biden stepped down. Only candidates with pull in those swing states, and support across the aisle.

[@TikkyTakMoo]

Never going to happen. I think Biden's going to run. If he stepped down, it would come off as weakness in the party. It would be an admission of error. If that happened, as I said, only Andrew or Bernie could clean up.

Horrible debate. HORRIBLE MODERATORS. They allowed Frump to berate and insult the President. And NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION. NOT ONLY THAT, they allowed him to readdress past questions. An 8 year old could have read the questions.

All right. Yin gang we on board we all on the same page

You guys left out one important fact the money donated goes directly to Kamala and no one else.

Self-preservation has always been the biggest obstacle for progress - in evolutionary terms as well as political and social.

[@tomcraver9659]

The Dems and their media lapdogs had two stories lined up - the "Panic" story (for what actually happened) and the "Donors are flooding the campaign with cash" story in case Biden did well. The party division showed up in the fact that we got a little of the latter story, though greatly down-played.

The Forward party NEEDS to actively advertise to ask Americans to join their party. Whether Republican or Democrat... join Forward. You can still vote Republican or Democrat in this election as the Forward party isn't running a candidate for president. But if a third party like Forward was to gain a critical mass of electorate, it can really help change the dynamic. WHY doesn't the Forward party actively advertise for people to join???

[@txflood2519]

Because a party doesn't exist if it cant get on the television. Completely irrelevant.

[@threeofeight197]

An argument for him dropping out is that the corporate dems would love to push through a corporate candidate and the opportunity for that will be higher here than in a primary. They would love nothing more than to get Bernie out of his position in the admin along with Kahn and others.

How was the animated intro created for this video?

[@lindenthoburn4793]

Yes, Dean was right

[@DeathScyther006]

Whenever Dean was on your show, he said that people only think the economy is bad because of their personal experiences and if they only read the New York Times then they would know it's in great shape. What a joker. I will never respect Dean Phillips as a leader after that goofy shit.
