  1. I'm not an American nor am I trained in American politics, which runs by drastically different rules then most European countries (btw. I'm European) so I may be talking out of my ass, but wouldn't an organized mass initiative of voting for something like The Green Party break the two party stranglehold that, as far as I have witnessed over the years, only serve the elites, the rich and the corporations?

  2. This is why I love The Real News.

    It delves into the true issues that mainstream (corporate) media houses, simply refuse to explore.

  3. Well real news network it seems as though your viewers disagree wholeheartedly with the Interviewer.

    By the way what did the interviewer mean when he said that means His 5 kids aren't black

  4. These interviewers always talk to Women they never talk to a real man When it comes to politics Meaning these women always soft shoe politics and making about emotions

  5. k Harris is a horrible person , only a idiots would say she is a good person , if your black and poor she had a lot of power for , 30 years or more …and boy did she use that Power …against poor black people even poor black mothers doing the best to bring there kids up …she put them in jail ,causing Misery heartbreak and many many CHILDREN to CRY themselves to sleep crying for there MUMS …keeping innocent men on death row ..knowing they were completely innocent …She is a EVIL EVIL Corporatist horror ,

  6. Mike Pence unfortunately has so much moral high ground over Kamala Harris in the legal realm of workplace fairness, workplace discrimination and favoritism and boss subordinate relationship corruption for career advancement issues – kamala Harris’s resumé & past is reprehensible and scandalous and Willie Brown has admitted to advancing Kamala career with several appointments already, while he was having an extra-marital affair with Kamala Harris
    for those that have had to endure and deal with a discriminatory workplace where bosses grant favors, promotion, advancement, raises to those that have sexual or other relationships with them, Kamala Harris is untenable… and should be to those who haven’t had the displeasure of such work experiences where corrupt people advance their careers through sexual or other favors.

  7. I want to say as a progressive who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, "The foremost problem I have with Kamala Harris, is her unbridled support of the State of Israel, and Israeli Occupation, Oppression, aggression, inequality, and racism towards the Palestinian People. I will never support her because of this. She claims to be a champion of equal, and civil rights, but it does not seem to apply when it comes to the indigenous Arab Palestinians in Palestine/Israel. She is in support of a racist, segregationist, and Exclusive Jews Only society in the State of Israel. I don't see any standing up for equal rights in Israel here. Need I say more?

  8. Harris is a mix of more than one ethnicity. She is BIRACIAL. People want to pick out ONE portion of her makeup & classify her as that. Stop with this identity politics, crap. Just refer to her & other “mixed-race” people as biracial.

    My kids are biracial. They are a mix, not one or the other, & there is nothing wrong with that.

  9. Listen stop saying she's not black its not that they are talking about lineage ADOS do she comes from Descendence of Slavery.Thats what people are talking about she comes from a elite group do you understand we come from poor people and do she has the same experience and will she fight for us.

  10. Black women authors are being asked about Harris and none have said anything negative. That's politics. If Harris is a soro, they're obligated to not say anything negative. Sororities are caste systems too.
