People saying Hillary lost as a backlash to Obama are out of their minds. People hated Hillary for her own demerits thank you.

[@Motionedout]

It was both though, it really was. Hillary lost because of misogyny in my opinion, she is a standard Democrat politically. And as far as racism and racist backlash goes, it was definitely a factor in 2016.

[@utubepunk]

​@@MotionedoutI think it was the misogyny + 4 decades of Fox News & AM radio vilifying her. She came with a ton of baggage & a sense of entitlement most people don't like, regardless if they're misogynist or not. People already voted for Kamala knowing Biden is on his last leg. In the first presidential election since RvW was overturned, I don't think the misogyny will play any significant role in preventing her from being elected.

[@rachael_grey]

Thank you!

[@utubepunk]

@@cuteiswhatIaimfor Thanks KZbin for deleting nearly all the replies to this comment.

[@rachael_grey]

​@Motionedout If Clinton had told Robby Mook to kiss off and went to those swing states THAT NEEDED TO SEE HER, she might have gathered more enthusiasm. Those states were begging to no avail. Instead the DNC sent Sanders on a no-break 45+ day stump where he told everyone to vote for HRC, while said DNC openly bitched about him online and picked fights with his staff on MSNBC.

[@cuteiswhatIaimfor]

As a black woman-in my opinion-people are way more comfortable being misogynistic than racist.

[@Motionedout]

I think people aren't aware of either when they vote, but they still are racist and misogynistic. The fact that Hillary and Kamala are scrutinized so much so is just plain misogyny to me. And the rise of 45 is just a racist backlash that voters even now won't admit. But when it comes down to it, Clinton, Harris, Obama, they're just standard Democrats. Their opposition can get away with literally anything, given their opposition is a dude and white.

[@DavidWest2]

As a white guy, I think I'd agree with that. Even in this so-called leftist comment section, it's chock full of shocking misogyny and people dressing down Emma.

[@DavidWest2]

But I also think there's a lot of racism in the opposition to Kamala. It's just a lot quieter. And it's infuriating.

[@Carlos-xz3vi]

Absolutely

[@utubepunk]

I don't disagree, but people voted for Kamala already, knowing Biden was on his last leg. And in the wake of Roe v Wade being overturned, I don't think the misogyny would prevent Kamala's win against Trump.

American politics is so bizarre

[@wzct]

[@scottlarue5304]

America is a big money making machine for a small amount of people at the top and the rest of us are the sacrificial lamb. Half of republicans are Christian nationalist fascist nut jobs. The other half are fine with the Christian nationalist stuff as long as they don’t have to pay more in taxes and keep regulation at a minimum. Liberals and moderates signal that they stand up for the right things but not if it means giving up their privilege. If the choice is between the populist left and the fascist right they will always choose the fascist right exactly like what happened in 1930s Germany. There is no functional left. Over 100 years of propaganda, CIA/FBI sabotage, and the weaponization of law enforcement has completely destroyed the American left. All that remains is insular groups that spend entirely too much time online and argue about hyper specific details about their beliefs.

[@OhAwe]

[@SuperlunarNim]

The rest of the world's political climate is starting to look similarly ridiculous if I'm being honest. Global campaign by autocrats is in full gear, and wherever you live is not above it. What they'll exploit is that very sense that you are above it.

In this case though the reason it’s noteworthy is because Biden’s optics are SO bad that even top democrats, who are famous for making bad decisions based on protecting the status quo (which Biden fully embodies) are calling for him to be replaced.

[@sherylF5610]

One would think they'd have better ideas by now.

[@Balthazar228]

I totally believe a woman can win a US presidential race, but I'm very dubious about Kamala. In an era where it feels like authenticity and genuine empathy could be the golden ticket to the white house, she suffers from the same focus group curated inauthenticity that plagued HRC in 2016 combined with the lack of influence and connections that HRC had over the party. There are few glimmers of an authentic, empathetic Kamala under the layers of focus group, but it seems like those get quashed by the handlers...

[@edgarcayce2.02]

The comparison to HRC is apt. I would add that they both have the same charisma, that is to say pretty much none at all.

I agree with Sam's pragmatic view the Harris gets the money quicker and thus an advantage. But he is relying on a theory that Harris will get droves of younger and more leftist voters to show up? They did not care for her the first time around. I think she would have a better chance now compared to if she had been the Dem candidate in 2020, but it is still a gamble.

[@atticusandwinifred3274]

Murphy Brown got the last laugh. The show was able to clap back when it aired its next season premiere, which they titled, "You Say Potatoe, I say Potato" (an obvious shot at Quayle's embarrassing on-camera gaffe "correcting" a young student who'd actually spelled potato correctly). Her character's fictional news magazine show pointedly featured a diverse array of different ways to be a family. Candace Bergen won an Emmy that season for her portrayal of Murphy Brown.

[@boembo6627]

At the very least, the Dems should be raising Kamala's profile as a solid back up should anything happen to Biden.

The idea that there is a not-insignificant number of voters who would either switch from Biden to Trump or from not voting to voting solely based on the democrats' switching over to Kamala is laughable. If that factor bothered you that much, then you're already voting abd you're voting for Trump. It's like the notion that Hillary's "deplorables" comment cost her the election. If that statement offended you, you were one of the deplorables, and you were just looking for an excuse to vote for Trump.

But it’s not about switching, it’s about motivating people to go vote. Believe it or not, there is a lot of depressed voters, that are not going to vote for Trump just because he’s old, but might not go vote altogether.

All of this is out of my control, but at this point I just want the Dems to get their act together. If Biden is going to drop out then he needs to just get it over with so the Party can pick a new candidate, or literally resign and make Harris President, or if he is going to stay, then he needs to do a much better job of regaining confidence from independence before Project 2025 becomes the law of the land.

The reason that the polling is better for Kamala Harris is because she has not been out front and people haven’t had to consider her as a candidate for President in a serious way up until now… I could see her poll numbers dropping significantly if she were to become the nominee… I have never heard a word of anecdotal praise or support for Harris, but I have hear a ton of anecdotal criticism and lack of enthusiasm for her… i don’t think one snap poll after the debate should be what we base the decision off of

She is polling well as a generic alternative to Biden who people haven’t heard that much from…

Kamala might not be the best alternate candidate they could put out there, to be sure. That said, they HAVE to replace Biden with someone. Even before the debate, he alienated millions of people and was trailing by a significant margin in swing states. Even people that weren't previously concerned about his fitness to govern were completely appalled by what they saw in the debate. (That includes me.) Any marginally decent opponent should be shredding Trump in the polls; the fact that Biden is trailing so much speaks to how uniquely unappealing he has become as a political figure. People say that "only Biden can defeat Trump." Sorry, but that sounds as delusional as Biden himself did during the recent interview when he acted like only he alone could keep the world together. People who think that a sundowning Biden is literally the best that the Democratic Party has to offer, are essentially conceding that there is no hope for the future of the party.

[@uglytuco3829]

This has less to do with Biden being unappealing and more to do with how fucking stupid the average voter is. If the alternative is voting for fascism, I don't care how unappealing he is, I'm holding my nose and voting against fascism. It's that black and white.

Being a woman was never the issue with Kamala. Her issue is she did not do well in the 2020 primaries, even after being propped up and getting the green light from major DNC donors at a fundraising event in the Hamptons in 2018. She went from being the star choice initially in the primaries to going practically dead last after Tulsi Gabbard (who we all know is a horrible person and grifter) beat her on the debate stage. Kamala is a weak candidate and was a horrible choice for VP pick, especially when there were better women VP choices, but was ultimately chosen to appease DNC donors. Now we are stuck with someone who was propped up by donors and the media and failed miserably in a primary as our choice against Trump. THAT is the problem.

In his wonderful Southern-leaning accent said, "America will see a Black man in the Whitehouse long before they will see a white woman." We were all stunned by this. If he was correct, it opened our eyes as to how much we misunderstood American politics, society and its history. Canadians have been voyeurs on American politics for decades. Misunderstanding the intersection between race and misogyny. So, it was interesting to hear Sam touch on this point from the caller from Florida, I had visions of 1986. Very interesting stuff.

[@franjkav]

I have an acquaintance that says women don’t experience sexism/misogyny anymore and I think it’s so weird to argue that, at least in the American context, because we still haven’t had a female president. Several countries that are much more overtly awful for women have had female leaders or have higher amounts of female politicians. I think the sexism/misogyny in the US is less overt and as a result people really underestimate it. As a woman, it seems delusional for dems/the left to suggest a female candidate could win, particularly a not so likable candidate, in this election and against trump. It sucks gender must be considered as part of a winning strategy right now but progress certainly isn’t going to be made under fascism.

They wanted someone from the South to balance out the ticket. It's about winning. It's about getting votes. Harris is not the most exciting politician we've seen in our lifetime.

I saw the same line of argument in the primaries earlier this year regarding Angela Alsobrooks (largely from the Dave Trone campaign IIRC). She's now the senatorial candidate running against Larry Hogan. Obviously, time will tell if she wins. (And I very much hope she does.) I'm split on whether Biden should drop out or not (yet), because regardless of what you think of him, the longer he stays in, the more he gets to take the heat from the media for another candidate. As Emma pointed out, polling of independents seems to indicate more of a willingness to vote for Harris over Trump than for Biden.

There's also the argument that she would be the most likely and predictable candidate because she's next in line for the presidency as VP and people did vote for her as part of the Biden-Harris 2020 ticket.

I mean the caller was pretty neutral. No need for Emma to be so caustic. The 9 or 10 is Lichtman and MP should have damn well known about his data.

[@xavierbreath2227]

Bingo!

[@autobface]

The caller was not at all neutral

[@autobface]

I mean he literally said he was going to stop watching the show because he disagreed with their opinions😂

[@sharonminsuk]

To the second caller: what part of U.S. Presidential elections do you think is *_not_* about optics? It's been nothing but optics since the Nixon-Kennedy election.

[@Nikkithedog-t6b]

In what way was the caller condescending by debating his point. Emma was way way out of line on this caller.

[@xavierbreath2227]

Exactly.

[@autobface]

Watch the beginning of the video. He was condescending throughout. If you can't see that I don't know what to say

[@MrLifter20]

​@@autobfacehe was not condescending

[@DUDEBroHey]

This is all the best arguments for anarchy that I've ever seen.

[@luciazaviacicova3594]

Emma sorry but how you handled the first caller was really bad. You can do better and this is coming from a woman. I hope you read the comments because I am not the only one pointing this out and non of us should be immune to valid criticism.

[@QuilishWammy]

The 'progressive left' thinks that women should get no criticism. To them, any man who legitimately criticises a woman is a misogynist.

[@janieponcelet4357]

100% agree that misogyny is much more detrimental to voting than racism is

[@sabrinacochran9808]

I love you guys but you were so rude and condescending to that first caller! And then you said HE was being condescending.

[@QuilishWammy]

The Majority Report has ALWAYS been a fervent cheerleader for the corporate centrist warmongering zionist Democrats. Kamala Harris is the epitome of such a Democrat. So, they get butthurt when the caller says something bad about Kamala.

[@Kloutkulture]

@@sabrinacochran9808 exactly

[@NP1066]

They usually act like that. Especially Emma.

[@Jay-xw9ll]

That debate disaster isn't just optics. Biden isn't capable of arguing his position. If Trump is the threat he is made out to be then you don't put your rapidly deteriorating 81 year old grandad on the front lines. The gaslighting from various Dems is eye opening.

[@eancurtis9333]

I knew alot of women who didn't like or vote for Hillary because they thought she enabled bill

[@haraldisdead]

You gotta love Sam and Emma having to argue "racism and sexism aren't really problems in our country."

[@tc2241]

My mom is a conservative lefty and STRONGLY believes that a woman can’t run the country. The caller is right, unfortunately you’re going to, not only loose many voters, but empower the republican block. Her being a minority is only going to make matters worse. While you’re correct in that the independent and young vote can power her to a win, I’ve not seen anything from Kamala that she can motivate the base to vote, and in that regard will perform worse than Biden.

[@talloncusack]

What the hell is a conservative lefty? Isn’t that an oxymoron?

[@karens2111]

Yes, she can do it!

[@maysville3815]

🌊 Dems, now is the time to rise up and unite against tyranny & fascism, which is exactly what this is. There can be no complacency or wavering. The only issue on the ballot is Democracy. We must win Pres, House, & Senate. Impeach Alito & Thomas, appoint 2, & repeal the immunity, Chevron & other rulings against the people. Vote blue! 🌊🌊🌊

[@freepalestine-dm2zq]

Lmao wow this call in really aged like milk

[@greggibson33]

Emma, chill with the caller shade. He was talking about co-workers, NOT himself. He wasn't condescending or misogynistic at all. Big fail.

[@FakeKraid]

The caller was being obnoxious and combative the entire time. You're an idiot if you didn't see that. He thought he was a know it all and it should have rubbed any normal person the wrong way, not just Emma.

[@Morning404]

Chill out on Emma. The caller wasnt a saint. Also, she apologised. Everyone gets stressed from time to time.

[@gaeron1305]

​@FakeKraid As soon as he started saying a woman would have trouble being president emma got combative. She's done I multiple times in defense of kamala. The callers right though. Come November they will be blaming her loss on racists and misogynists so why not acknowledge that now. 9:10

[@sagnikdas6049]

Okay Joe from Florida

[@honor2996]

Emma was wildly angry and hostile the entire time which is quite strange.. the caller was voicing their concerns and she seemed to get personally offended. It was pretty annoying tbh

[@fredericomolina1692]

The caller is basing his opinion on anecdotal evidence which Sam already acknowledged and refuted.

[@DysprosiumMr]

If Biden stays on the ticket, we need to vote for him. But NOW is the time to hash this out. We need to move quick and decide if Biden is fit to run against trump. So don't be upset that it's a discussion right now... be upset that the DNC may drag its feet and cost us 4 years of fascism.

[@NN-sp9tu]

Could be a lot more than 4 years

[@lonobird4711]

"Statics and Lies" Polls sucks!!
