After the ballots were counted, days after the election, the democrats went to the white house. As it turned out to defeat donald trump, joe biden needed more votes than in the us president ial candidate in history. To 2020, alexion season in the United States was anything but normal. Practically every 4, years in the u. S. People say this is the most important election in our lifetime. So it was a, its the Tipping Point for this democracy. Those words are coming out of my mouth. Its a Tipping Point. This is a time when a fear of losing hold of democracy is, feels very, very real. I dont know if we had that sensation in 2016. Do you think theres more at stake in this election then the recent elections and if so what i do on 2 fronts. I think that the risk that trump presents, odd as the thing, theres a real risk and pretending like there wasnt a crisis before trump because trump is only able to get in in the 1st place by exploiting the extent to which millions of americans feel disaffected. And ignored by both political parties, this Election Year was full of subplots from the pew to me that has killed hundreds of thousands of americans to massive protest against racism or police violence. To right. I mean militia plot to kidnap a sitting governor, to cope in the team, infiltrating the white house. You know, he hopped in a motorcade and put the lives of his secret service there risk because he wants to be on t. V. The reality is that if you put this together in a description for a novel, the publisher would send it back and say its too unbelievable that you can have some of these, but not all of them in your book. My dollars 0000000000000000000 to 20 twentieths lecture me up in this much about what people didnt like their what they did, what is known as negative partisanship. Ah ha ha. I did have a lot of the polarization has now gotten to the point where i hear voters talk not in terms of what theyre for, but in terms of what theyre against. And if the idea that you define who you are politically, by what you dislike or what your lot of mine, so if i learn something about you that i find distasteful, then i assume you are not of my party. Early voting numbers this year, shattered previous records, it was partially due to a once in a century pandemic, but also a crumbling economy. High unemployment in many voters who are fed up with 4 years president concerned hes one of the worst president s that america is up there. Because he, in his heart of hearts he is racist and bigoted. And i believe that America Needs healing. And i think joe biden is the best candidate. Im concerned that will do that. Its been a long time since americans were this divided politically. Between a 20 gallup poll were built that 95 percent of republicans approved of President Trumps handling of this job, compared to just 3 percent of democrats. The difference between the 2 figures has never been greater. Theyre not only differences in policies, there are differences in outlook. There are differences in the race between the parties. Increasingly it looks like there are differences in sex, meaning that women are much more likely to vote democratic and men are more likely to vote republican. Theres a massive divide in this country. People who live in more areas of the country think very differently from those people who live in the population in urban centers in america, has this strange on one hand, youve got all these tributes areas of justice and mercy. But on the other hand, youve got all these tributaries of racism, hatred and violence, and then just so we are not just democrats and republicans, warring with each other in the electorate increasingly frustrated with the government that feels less and less for the people by the people the largest Political Group in this country isnt republicans, or democrats, but independents. And that is largely because of the distaste. So many people have for the 2 Party Political system that we have. Which more often than not seems to be a club, a bipartisan club, but we are not members, and that isnt working for us at all. Article one is adopted 2020 because what President Trump formally impeached by congress for just the 3rd time in the history of the country. I did one soon to sit down with the republican led senate buildout, the president , finding him not guilty of the charges which allege he withheld military aid from ukraine unless it announced an investigation into joe biden. The vast majority of them said, yes, he did it. Its wrong, but it doesnt rise to the level of removing a president. And that was the judgment that they made. They have not imposed accountability on this president , and it is a real failure in the gardens that i expected. As a republican soon after the coronavirus pandemic started to spread overshadowing it pietschmann and becoming the biggest political story of the year. Before the pandemic, i thought trump would be easily reelected. You always have to come back to fundamentals. The economy is roaring, unemployment was at it. You know, the lowest level it had been since, like the late sixtys or Something Like that saying, thats really impressive. President trumps handling of the pin dimmick however, was anything, but im also hopeful to have americans working again by that easter, that beautiful easter day. I dont wear mess like him every time you see him. Hes got a miscue, could be speakin 200 feet away from it. He shows up with the biggest mask ive ever seen. Right. And then i see the disinfectant. We have not seen in a minute. He turned out to be completely incompetent. As an administrator. Had no idea what to do about the pandemic. You know, couldnt figure out how to show empathy was to clean as you see, it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number of beatrice. This is poor politics. This its lousy. He did a terrible job as a political leader. This is the moment for solidarity for social solidarity. Thats what you, thats what every president of my childhood instinctively knew. And trump played it exactly the opposite way, which was catastrophic for the nation, and disastrous for his presidency. Before the Global Pandemic changed the way election campaigns were carried out, there was an intense battle to see who could challenge president , truman. Senator Bernie Sanders energized, a large swath of the progressive supporters. Ah, at that point when it became either pretty standard for joe biden, there became these generational and racial divides that fell in one camp or the other where you had more diverse young people with Bernie Sanders and older, especially older black voters with joe biden. Just before super tuesday, the democratic establishment in mind behind joe biden, the call to victory back that the want to give the Democratic Party decided the best chance to win was selecting a moderate standard. Where does joe biden reflect where the Democratic Party is right now . By and large, i think so, you still have a huge proportion of the party that thinks of themselves as ideologically moderate, but isnt willing to go to some of the extreme policy ends that some of the more extreme progressives are in the party. And biden has made overtures to republicans suggesting you spoken to a point of them to cabinet positions. The things that i really think joe biden offers us in this moment is a uniting message. I think we are a moment. And i think that joe biden, talking about being president for all americans talking about wanting to unite us all, want to talk about racial reconciliation and not use it as a dividing point among americans. He can make a real difference in trying to rebuild some of the trust thats been lost over the last for years. Was effort to win over moderate Republican Voters for sure. Its a progressive wing of the party who feel left out, in spite of being actual to reproach. There is a level of distrust of progressive. Left is among moderate democrats, that it clips is just trusts that moderate democrats have for never trump. Republicans, at the very least, you have this entanglement that really leaves people who think that theyre really advancing the core fundamental interest of the Democratic Party hanging in the balance. And theres a problem with, with joe biden or coming to harris saying, no, we dont want to be too radical because what has happened to immigrants in this country is radical. Being separated from your families, being denied food water, i mean the most basic that is radical. Putting a child in a cage is radical. It is not normal. So dont talk to me about, oh, well we cant have it too radical response. Its going to be true, too progressive to left. Stop it. One of the major questions going into the election with the electoral system, be able to handle the mounting pressures from the pandemic, foreign interference, and even the president himself, he spent months claiming the vote would be richt, and wasted little time after the election, questioning its legitimacy in certain states, as far as the ballots are concerned, its a disaster. Theres fraud, they found him in creeks. They found some with the name trump just happen to have the name trump just the other day in a waste paper basket. Well, weve never had a president before suggest that somehow our election system is a failure that the results wont be legitimate, that the election is being stolen. We havent had that until donald trump. Thanks. It is certainly undemocratic. Its unconstitutional. Thats not how our system works. Its the words of someone who wants to remain in office no matter what the voters think. President trumps attack on the church has been relentless. The Washington Post has documented more than 20000, false or misleading statements hes made since taking office. All right, xander knows i dont you have one of my in balance. And swapping my system got you, you know, it cant be done. You know, it cant and already, all right, been so no avail. Sometimes your letter had about a ton of money and what donald trump does, and i think everybody kind of witnessed at that 1st debate. If you understand the kind of psychological background of donald trump, you know, very dry in china. The only strategy that you have is to destroy things are at work. A gentleman, right, which you know is heavily edited out. You would have been regulator, just approximate, or mr. Prout talking about 2000000. People do not write about it as a modern writer. But were going to talk about covert in the next segment, but you destroy it all because that way theres no record of anything and you just keep on destroying. Well, i got it out and im going to go in and im going to give us, im going to, i got to go to the individual mandate, which was and did what he intended to do, which was people began to take that most sacred thing less seriously and we all suffer as a result of his destruction of these institutions. A modern writer in this debate and i would like you to let me ask my question and then you can answer for trumps devoted fans. It seems like hes bigger than any as to, to show bigger even than the Republican Party itself. There is a base of support for donald trump that as his is as fervent and as excited about donald trump than theyve seen for a republican candidate in a long time. That excitement was evident out of popery for trump. Supporters along the Rappahannock River in virginia, just a month before the election. We tagged along as hundreds of boats flew their flags, often out of the country or state. But a trip them self. From them is again, me so much talk and shoot from out of the last 3 years. Again, its a dangerous game, but its a game with the slick lives. Just not so says about picking up the greek this year for the 1st time since the Republican Party was founded in the 1850s. It chose not to adopt a policy platform at the convention. Instead, backing what it called trumps of america. 1st agenda. How do you feel about the Republican Party now . Its very different than the Republican Party, even john mccain 12 years ago. So theres a battle over what Republican Party principles are. But i guess you could go to the platform to clarify that battle, that well, you could, if there were a platform, what an extraordinary thing i know this is of my way, but how can you actually say were not going to have a platform, were not going to tell people what we stand for other than the old reelection of this person. Remarkably, the most consistent aspect of trumps tumultuous presidency may have been the steadfastness of his base. Most president s Approval Ratings fluctuate throughout their administration. But trumps remained right around 40 percent between energise block that could impact the elections for years to come. I think of this election as a, a respite or a temporary, an intermission. And then itll be back. Donald trump represents, lets say a phenomenon that is not going away. Ok, this is going to continue on. And its going to be back in 4 years. Look, the thing thats on the money trump is, im the block. Since the late sixtys Republican Party in america shifted dramatically to the right, the Democratic Party became a centrist party. And the 2 sides began to change their, their sort of demographic position. And degree of college education, someone had, did not use to tell you which party they supported. And increasingly, it does. College educated americans are voting democratic. People who only have a High School Education are voting more republican. This is the overhanging issue, trump ism is and will be gone with donald trump. Trump ism is not going to disappear. The pseudo populism that he used to get elected. He didnt make that up. Republicans have been doing that for a long time. He swiped his themes from Richard Nixon and ronald reagan, openly make america great. Again, thats from regen, the whole strategy of reaching out to the angry White Working Class thats from nixon. The problem republicans have been doing this forever. This is not him. Typically, what happens in american politics is when a party loses, they go through a sort of self reflective period and what do we need to change in order to win the next time . Unfortunately, those incentives are broken right now for the Republican Party because they are able to maintain power using the Electoral College and the now apportionment in the u. S. Senate to hold on to power with a minority of of the population. Oh yes. I know what to say, oh well the lies of the devils. 7 world the answer roxanne, against truth. Donald trump no truth, no justice, no justice, no peace. The consequences of minority rule in american politics were crystallize from ruth bader. Ginsburg died 6 weeks before the election. Republican swiftly reversed course from the arguments they made in 2016. When they blocked president Obamas Supreme Court nomination, because it was an Election Year compared again to obama 1st nominating, you know, merrick garland, a good guy. Right. But a centrist and thinking hes gay, extending an olive branch to the republicans, and they absolutely, you know, just spitting in his face. In contrast, trump who lost the popular vote in 2016 by nearly 3000000 votes pushed through a very conservative judge for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court. Literally, after tens of millions of americans already cast their ballot and early voting, republicans will stop at nothing. They, i mean, they have a long history, absolutely machiavellian. Using their power absolutely to the hilt and it doesnt matter what kind of mandate they have. And it doesnt matter what kind of hypocrisy they show. And it doesnt matter what kind of president theyre violating in our up followed as clergy must say, clearly to a body of a politician. This is c. N. N. And you on the judgment, you may not ca
