Do not ever refer to me as LatinX. I am a proud Latino, and the Democrats have no right to conveniently call us whatever they think fits their interests to gain votes. Latinos do not like the term LatinX; so, stop calling us names
Kamala's stand that ' Biden put me here, so I cannot go against any of his issues on the table…was her unfortunate demise
Demanding that trans men play girls sports or use girls bathrooms is opposed by 80% of everyone.
Over Educated Democrats? hmmm
Well here’s what we do know; woke obsession with identity politics had NOTHING to do with the dems loss. Oh no, nothing at all. Ordinary families who are working hard and trying to raise kids; they love woke culture. They love having their kids learn CRT and be told every day how racist and evil white people. The only good thing the democrats did this election was force trans ideology and CRT onto every day households and working class families. That was an objectively brilliant move. Just ask Dave Pakman and Adam Seder; they’ll tell you
I don't pay attention to this guy. Total fraud.
Ezra looks like a big kid now… Beard and no glasses
If I had to choose 3 big reasons why she lost I would say this,
1. Inflation
2. Immigration
3. Gaza
There wasn't no d e I think come on this is Republican talking points here you going somewhere to the right yourself huh
Oh please they didn't get Trump he's not going to spend any time in jail he tried to overthrow the government he's a felon 34 felony counts
The last thing we want to see right now another indian !!
They lost because they were obsessed with the 9 keys guy prediction. They got overconfident
Lmao😂 strongest economy? Liars
Republicans now have no excuses and have no one else to blame. They have FULL CONTROL. They have the White House, the House and the Senate. They "can" do the "ALL the good" we all know they are incapable of doing due to being a vortex of evil. But come 2028/29, they will blame the Democrats for EVERYTHING.
Let’s be clear- the Democratic Party is not liberal.
1:59 CNN POLL? 🤡🤡🤡Of course Trump is bad in your biased survey😂😂
This is a pretty good analysis. Zakaria is very reasonable and thoughtful.
Interesting that all three of these points don't seem to have been the driving force behind the non-MAGA voter share.
Moreover, I'm not entirely sure what races Zakaria has been following, but the Democratic Party hasn't run on 'identity politics' at all this cycle–in fact, they've turned a blind eye to some of the more troubling trends.
So, is there any basis for what is presented here? Or is Zakaria still just attacking the Democrats based upon the strawmen of Fox News and MAGA?
[Not like I really expected better; the 'radical centrist' BS is far more contrarian indulgent self-congratulatory BS than a coherent ideology]
Dude you read toooo much data. Have you ever walk down the street and talk to regular people
This guy has no clue yhat people don't believe a word he's saying because it says "CNN".
Look at Biden and Pelosi and Schumer, they're all 800 years old. They predate TV!
I already know what he's going to say is BS. The truth is – The entire Democrat leadership needs to be completely replaced, Democrats lost the poor, and lost the middle class, but won the rich, because the rich are Pelosi's neighbours. She told bernie he couldn't fund a campaign with single dollar donations, yet he did. Pelosi's then said "he didn't win" totally ignoring the fact trump beat hillary in the final using single dollar donations, because trump didn't fund himself obviously. he's never payed for anything. Trump has now funded 3 campaigns with single dollar donations, winning 2. And Democrats only won 2020, because of covid
The “DEI take” is dog whistle. Say what you really mean with your whole chest.
3 bullet points from Fareed, that he claims were Dems mistakes, causing the 2024 election loss:
1. Border. 2. Legal charges against Trump. 3. Identity Politics
#1 and #3 are spot on accurate. #2 was NOT a mistake by Dems.
Trump should have been charged (and was definitely guilty) in every separate case he was indicted for….
HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED EARLIER in all cases, so more convictions would have resulted before the 2024 election got near.
BUT 2 ADDITIONAL POINTS THAT WERE ALSO BIG MISTAKES BY DEMS, contributing to the loss, that ALMOST NO ONE IN MEDIA MENTIONS:
1. Dems tolerating all the violence & vandalism by progressives, students, and Muslims around America FOR MONTHS, in response to Israel's brutal destruction of Gaza and genocide of Palestinians. I agree Israel's response was intentionally destroying Palestine, while they also were wiping out portions of the evil Hamas. But Dems and progressives cannot allow crybaby students and Muslins to VANDALIZE & DESTROY UNIVERSITIES & PARTS OF AMERICA, as they throw their childish tantrum about overseas chaos.
2. Gary Gensler running the SEC, under the Biden Admin, and waging a RANDOM WAR OF IDIOCY against Bitcoin & Crypto, randomly suing some digital asset companies for SEC violations (while hundreds of other companies were doing the exact same thing, but were never mentioned), INSTEAD OF PRODUCING CLEAR LAWS & GUIDLELINES that all crypto businesses knew they had to abide by.
THIS WAS A HUGE BLUNDER SENDING MANY PROGRESSIVE VOTERS TO TRUMP. AND NO MEDIA PEOPLE SEEM TO REALIZE OR MENTION THIS. 40% of adult Americans own crypto. Almost ALL of them voted for Trump, and many only did because of crypto. Gary Gensler is a showboat egomaniac with his random lawsuits against various digital asset companies, AND EVEYONE WHO OWNS CRYPTO DESPISED GENSELR AND THE BIDEN/HARRIS ADMIN, FOR THEIR ERRATIC AND RANDOM APPROACH TO REGULATING CRYPTO, DURING THE PRIOR 4 YEARS. The blunder of Gary Gensler running the SEC the past 4 years, cost Harris MILLIONS of votes nationwide. I think the crypto issue, was SECOND BIGGEST FACTOR AFTER THE BORDER, for why Harris lost this election !!!
We are in economic decline, and we will be an economic the time line for the next 20 years. Attending that we are not an economic decline as Kamala did will cost you elections. If you’re going to lie to the American people, make that lie be believable. The wealthy want to hear that economy is good, but they are only 10% of the population. Fareed Zakaria believe the stupid wealthy propaganda but the Connie is OK and it’s not OK.
So true. So sad.
Is it me or his head too big?
The main reason Joe Biden does not want to drop from race cus he sure know Kamala from close quarters 🙂 Biden be like when forced to drop, "Ok so you want me to drop… alright …Ladies and gentlemen, here is Kamala for you. You get what you deserve"
I bet fareed hate Black. End of listening.
Gaza!!!
I came to this country 10 years ago and lived in Los Angeles. I thought things were pretty cheap and did well even with my starter school leaver salary. Now I make double my then salary and cannot survive
Missed you,Fareed
Three big mistakes:
1. Being a Democrat
2. Voting against Trump
3.Believing their nonsense
Pitch perfect analysis. Listen.
I wonder if CNN reads the comments? 👍🇿🇦
How about these three? spending money on Ukraine war having a bad COVID recovery? Roe and Wade and Illegal immigration..
