Has the Political Establishment Failed America?

[@chrisrhodes2]

Has the political establishment failed America or have the American people failed America? That would be some debate there.

[@scott5358]

the press and media has failed America

[@drewd2]

This entire debate was so incoherent that it's no surprise people didn't switch sides.

[@artexjay]

When Eric Dyson is involved you can be assured that the debate will be incoherent. The guy wants to try to rap in everything he does including while he preaches.

[@TheLivirus]

18:00 He suggests that believing the establishment has failed America is to endorse Donald Trump's thinking, which he previously called an infantile factious bigot. Smooth.

[@paxdriver]

Thanks guys, looking forward to this one

[@Lurch685]

Where is John Donvan??

[@ericpalmer3588]

Dyson always goes after low hanging fruit. He goes for the easy virtue signaling... But he rarely identifies clear specific problems or offers solutions for them. I think mainly he’s just offering a world view that allows an emotional release and a way to blame all of life’s tough circumstances on something external. There is external oppression, this is true. But this ideology doesn’t help people succeed or move towards something better.

I can't believe the lady introduced him as one of the US's most cherished intellectuals. That's so embarrassing as an American. MLK Jr would have called him out as the fraud he is. I'm not a Trump fan but this debate could have been much more interesting and beneficial had Trump not been a topic. It's lazy and disappointing.

[@chichichichilling4822]

Classic Dyson. I don't think he's ever been part of a good debate or discussion. No idea how he kepps getting called to speak publicly in these types of settings.

[@TheLivirus]

22:40 "...to fight the cheap rhetoric of _demigods_ and prop ... *_demagogs_* and propagandists." LOL

[@paxdriver]

From minute 7 to 14... 1 loooong ass muthafuckin run around sentence lol!

[@artexjay]

and nothing was said the entire time.

[@Arcticstar69]

You must act and fullfil the declaration of independence. Fight tyranny NOW!

[@dejayrezme8617]

Fervent rant of a preacher vs. the emotional manipulation of the followup... "oh poor me so hard to follow this act, my wife even made fun of me"... This is unwatchable! "Adjustment bureau"? Hahahaha oh my... Why invite these kind of speakers to something called intelligence squared?

[@ASkepticalHumanOnYouTube]

Why is the substitute third-grade teacher moderating in place of Jon Donvan?

[@mosipd]

Why do you think?

[@txwaterbird6115]

bunch of closed minded, misguided fools

Is the fucking sky blue?

[@zuutlmna]

Failed big time!!! More than anything, it's become parasitic. Does a parasite fail its host? The situation even shares some of that immunity benefit that occurs with some advanced stage parasitic infestation.

[@mervinwchin]

Jesus, what a waste of time, poorly moderated, poorly defined structure and context of debate, and no intelligent counterpoints to each other arguments. It's as if they got together and said, "Hey, we have this one reasoning and we'll say it over and over again, rebuttals be damned!"

[@ErnieLG]

Too broad of a question.

[@logicshouldprevail5646]

Howell was the only one making much sense at all. Ughhh

[@MatthewMcVeagh]

And unfortunately his delivery is dry and boring.

[@twstdelf]

I think Michael Eric Dyson has watched too many CEDA "debates" -_-
