New York Reacts To Trump Win, Featuring Emma Vigeland of The Majority Report | USA Election 2024

[@BarbarraBay]

A stable nation relies on people caring for each other. The USA is in decline due to oligarchical plutocracy.

[@DonDeering]

Which Democrats and Republicans both support; Democrats are the other party of poverty, war and oppression. Working people need our own political party that fights for the things we all need, and against the things that harm us.

Greed and idiocy rules.

[@mick947]

We had a post war consensus and the world I lived in was poor but you felt as if you lived in a caring society where everyone was considered. Then neoliberalism took hold with Thatcher and Reagan and here we are today with society torn apart by inequality and narcissism. Blair and Clinton took up the baton and the Labour Party of Atlee and the Dem party of FDR were scattered to the winds. And we are unfortunately now living like the proverbial pig that can’t smell its own shite.

[@voxnuz]

11:16 I don't know how you managed to talk to this guy, such arrogance and disrespect - Not being able to admit where the problem was is the Dems biggest flaw. So glad you were able to chat with Emmajority though!

[@Adamnlaw]

There are also people in the comments section saying the same thing!

[@stuc3195]

The guy makes a good point about the voting in New York. Which was repeated elsewhere across the States and in my opinion is the main reason Trump won Trumps vote count in New York was literally the same as 2020. The Democrats were down more that 1,000,000 votes. Altho in NY they still won. Nationwide Trumps vote count again was literally the same as 2020. While the Democrats were down 12 MILLION!! Democrats are quick to blame the 'stupid' people that all voted for Trump. But in reality they have brought this on themselves. Trumps support base was the same as always. Whilst the liberal left Democrat supporters all spat the dummy out over Palestine and 'made their stand' by not voting for Kamala. Now those same people are crying over Trump becoming Presidemt 🤷‍♂️

[@FergusGrant]

He took everything as a personal affront. I think Richard caused him a narcissistic injury there 😏

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

Weiner is arrogant as f. Always have been.

[@jasonk125]

I think he was joking around. It was a holiday, and he just wanted to enjoy the day. He's just a radio host now.

[@dogmatictales]

Thanks BBC7 for the great content as always

[@segue2ant395]

That congressman, Weiner - not someone I've heard speak before. Not someone I'd ever want to hear speak again. I genuinely couldn't tell if he was wilfully misunderstanding the question or genuinely too thick to understand the questions. America is so f*cked.

[@masoodrehman118]

He didn't want to torpedo is entrance back into politics. Just a politician being a politician

[@-op9fm]

Look up the documentary on him from a few years ago. Pure comedy gold...

[@CIndy_The_Skull]

It's america, anyone can reach high office, even this man with a developmental disorder.

[@DrewDesign]

Anthony Weiner was oddly defensive. I don't know if he thought it was a 'gotcha' street interview. Regardless it was SO telling that he simply refused to acknowledge any issues with the Dems. Stubbornly refusing to learn any lessons.

[@joetotale6354]

Great to see Emma on Novara. You guys should link with the US online left like Breaking Points / Majority Report / Due Dissidence regularly. Grow the left media matrix!

[@fullovstars9447]

Democracy Now?

[@berniethekiwidragon4382]

Been introduced to Emma from her days at TYT. To this day, major respect for her bravery covering Trump rallies.

[@saskk2290]

​@berniethekiwidragon4382 Her instincts aren't the greatest. It took her years to see that Elizabeth Warren was indeed no Bernie Sanders, and in fact even Bernie doesn't live up to his rhetoric. It's very easy to get caught up in the reality show of electoral politics, and I fear these independent media outlets are spinning their wheels rehashing the same approach year after year. She (or anyone seeking a deeper understanding of power & politics) could use a long binge of Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, Ralph Nader, Chris Hedges. These people don't prevaricate. If the people are caught up in team sports, they will struggle to see the much larger forces at work.

[@berniethekiwidragon4382]

@saskk2290 I never said she was perfect.

[@discowolf25]

@@saskk2290 weird how she interviews at least one of the names you mentioned every week. Lmaooooooo lemme guess, you think the MR is “the fun half”? 💀

[@hahu9088]

[@Azmodaeus49]

Anthony Weiner hasn't changed at all 😂

[@PaulEleftheriou-we7vr]

The Democratic party, fucked it. Because Harris pivoted away from economic populism, big mistake.

[@nickbringolf1181]

I think it was summed up with it was more about choosing the lesser of two evils. The state of politics all over the world. We no longer vote for policy promises, rather against them. Is this really democracy and do we really have hope in our vote?

[@DaWrecka]

If *Trump* of all people is the *lesser* of two evils, the other side would have to be Satan himself.

[@jaexiusnem1267]

How is Anthony Weiner a real person, he even acts like a tv show character.

[@donkeyshot8472]

the big difference between the trump and the harris campaign was that trump acted as if he actually cared about his voters. harris literally stated (on "the view") that she wouldn`t do anything at all differently from biden..."so there!"

[@ttynorttyl]

Good luck on BBC7 💀

[@berniethekiwidragon4382]

Does the BBC have a channel we don't know about?

[@voxpopulitotheleft]

We need more women like Emma Vigeland. She is the breath of fresh air among many voices that dominate the liberal narrative in the US. She is right. Privatization in America has brought to the point where all politicians are mostly bought by private entities. Even Military industrial complex is in the hand of private industry and there is no nationalization (in the form of state-owned enterprises) whatsoever that could empower government to maintain in objective authority handling important fields, including natural resources, infrastructure, and energy. Emma has such a clear mind, a dynamic duo along with uncle Sam Sedar.

[@livthedream5885]

I agree. I think she needs her own show as well. I love her! Love the whole Seder gang too.

[@spencera1129]

Agree but we need to stop using “liberal”, liberals are centrists in this world in 2024, and liberalism is a right-wing ideology that inevitably slides into fascism

[@tenderhooligan7580]

Matt Binder and Bradley Alsop are smart dudes too

[@PurushaDesa]

Love Emma on Majority Report.

[@SerenaSyed]

Was interesting to watch a report without the hysteria. It's prompted more questions for me - will do a dive. Thanks Novara as always. It's so important to have reliable journalism across the political spectrum (I'm not on the left/right but I tune into all of it). Thanks.

[@guapodesperado2822]

Emma was quite delusional towards the end of the campaign. She bought into the media hype.

[@TomMayer-uf7zv]

It's not wrong to hope for an optimistic outcome to a situation that promises bleak and depressing outcomes.

[@sean668]

Yeah bro I say milquetoast all the time.

[@Asheanae]

Milquetoast seems to be the same as a 'sop'. Or a least, sops and milk toast is the same dish.

[@sean668]

@@Asheanae It means like wishy-washy, unconvincing, mediocre. If you want to sound like a New Yorker you could say “nebishy” but that’s very very local phrasing

[@Asheanae]

@@sean668 We definitely call that a 'sop' in the UK. He's a bit of a sop... Nebishy is a great word! Why milquetoast and not milk toast, though? It seems to be an exclusively American word... did they just want to give it that French cool spelling? 😎

[@stuc3195]

Did that girl really say "it's about getting comfortable with the facts"? 😅😅 The irony.

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

I took it as accepting what's going on and adjust to it to not get anxieties and other mental health issues. There are many cultural translations to the word comfortable.

The narrative that you were trying to push that New York City is moving right is really off base and sensationalist. You then pivoted to New York State is moving right and Tony Weiner called you up on it. As a British guy living in New York, and a fan of Novara Media, your US coverage is generally poor and simplified.
