  1. Taking viewpoints somewhat out of it, do these people just not understand gridlock?

  2. OMG read those comments in the screen shot in the article. They obviously know absolutely zero about Donald Trump and his policies.

  3. As always, AOC strikes to the heart of the matter with her questioning.

  5. It shows that the Trump voters have zero idea who he is or what his policies do to them.

  8. What kind of person votes for Trump and AOC on the same ticket? Aren’t they on opposite sides of the ideological spectrum? This seems like such a nonsensical decision. I don’t want to hurt anyone’s tender feelings, but it seems completely irrational.

  9. Now I have even more questions. Like, where the fuck do these people get their information?

  10. “Both you and him are real” is what stuck out to me.

    Whatever the magic formula is for being “real” to people like that is, mainstream Dems need to find out what it is and shunt it directly into their carotid artery.

  11. I’ve been following her stories and the amount of people who says her and trump are the same is fucking insane.

    Also gotta laugh at her asking where trump supporters get their news and them all thinking shes saying they are being misinformed. idiots

  12. This is similar to Bernie Sanders’s appearance on Theo Van about 2 months ago. Theo states that he wishes that Trump and Bernie would have run together because he feels they are both so different from the average politicians and so real.

    Just goes to show you the delusional thinking that some non-informed citizens are.

  13. It’s hard to argue against the fact that we’re a very dumb nation with an education crisis.

    By education, I don’t mean a degree. I mean actual basic knowledge. People can cheat and coast their way to a degree and dropouts can continue learning through out their life.

  14. I’m so tired of my fellow Americans being dumb as fuck, lol.

  15. North Carolina: We resoundingly elected a Democrat as governor and flipped some state council seats to Democrats such as lieutenant governor and superintendent of public instruction, but Donald Trump is our guy! 🤦🤡

  16. It’s pretty obvious the DNC has to approach everything at a 5th grade reading level from here on out — if they keep trying to message with nuanced policy, they will lose every fucking time.

  17. Yeah a lot about this election doesn’t make sense. I especially refer to the abortions rights measures on 10 state ballots this election.

    7 Of the 10 passed in Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada and New York. And in at least one of the states where if failed (Florida) 57% voted for it.

    Yet in 5 of those states (6 if you count Florida) Trump won the state. How do you vote for abortion rights as a concept but yet put in power the very people who will take that right away. Even having the right to abortion in a state constitution will not stop the federal government from limiting or removing that right.

    If everyone who voted to affirm abortion had actually voted for the party that wants to keep abortion available Harris would have won.

  18. I hate this. I hate that so many people think Trump is a populist, and cares about the working people. To me it’s so obvious that he doesn’t but I’ve been saying the same things since 2016. Democrats need to go strongly progressive and populist. Nearly since the time I could vote I have been dealing with this Trump bullshit and I tried to explain to older white people why it was important we look for someone like Bernie. I heard over and over, I like him but Hillary is more likely to win against Trump. I begged them to see that what people were responding to with Trump (as stupid as it is) was populism but people laughed at young voters for this and wouldn’t take them seriously. We need someone who is angry, passionate, real and populist. Again and again it’s Hilary, then Biden, then Kamala. Centrists. I voted for all of them because Trump is a disgusting fraud but we can’t just keep doing the same thing. Then people seem confused as to why it isn’t working again.

    It makes me want to cry at how many people keep saying we need to shift right or keep courting white men. We will never out right the actual right wing. If they call us socialists, own that and explain in what ways we are socialist, it’s the same as being populist but we don’t have to include the racism, sexism and hate. Maybe it’s too late now but it seems so obvious to me and our Democratic party won’t ever let us try having a truly populist and progressive candidate.

    The big donors and polished centrists are the problem. It doesn’t matter what Kamala is actually saying she will do, it’s about how it feels. Its about how forcefully you talk about the working class suffering and it’s about actual policy change in action. People are not as educated as they need to be but we can’t fix that by letting Republicans win.

  19. My impression is that people want Politicians who they feel to be authentic people advocating for them. No clue how Trump fits that but is what it is.

  20. The answers they gave seem to come down to vibes and change for the sake of change.

  21. I can understand simply not voting for president and then voting AOC. But to vote for Trump and AOC because of Gaza?!? What the actual fuck.

  23. This split ticket deal is not peculiar to AOC and her district. Elissa Slotkin (Michigan’s brand new D senator) warned last month about this showing up in exit polling, where Michigan voters picked Slotkin and Trump. They like left policies but also Trump’s overt anti-establishment schtick. That’s valuable info for future elections.

  24. I love that she just asks without any judgement. It’s what a Rep should do, to see what the heart of the issue really is. No arguing, no debating, no contradicting. Just asking why, and nothing more.

    People see Trump as real. Perhaps because he is direct, and he is straightforward. At least, he seems like it to these people.

  25. Seems most people have gone anti establishment and don’t care beyond that what the policies are. All the responses are directed at the anti establishment nature (read: populist) of aoc, Bernie, and trump.

    If this is the general vibe then Dems need to ditch non populists going forward.

  26. “Voted for Trump and you, **not genocide Harris.** Dems need Bernie!!”

    In other words, Harris isn’t left enough on Palestine, so I’m voting for Trump.

    WHAT?

  27. I love the people talking about Gaza like Trump doesn’t want Palestinians roasted
