What is the “real autopsy” the host says Democrats can’t face?
Hi, this is Free Thinking through the Fourth Turning, I'm Sasha Stone. The real autopsy the Democrats can't face. No point in cutting open a body if no one can talk about what's inside.
If there is anyone out there. Who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible? Who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time? Who still questions the power of our democracy? Tonight is your answer.
It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen. By people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives. Because they believed that this time must be different. That their voices could be that difference. It's the answer spoken by young and old. Rich and poor. Демократ а републикан Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, Gay, Straight, Disabled, and not Disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are and always will be the United States of America. We've come to Philadelphia, the birthplace of our nation, because what happened in this city 240 years ago still has something to teach us today.
Our country's motto is e pluribus unum. Out of many, we are one. Will we stay true to that motto? We heard Donald Trump's answer last week at his convention. He wants to divide us from the rest of the world and from each other. We will not build a wall. Instead, we will build an economy where everyone who wants a good job can get one. And we'll build a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants who are already contributing to our economy. We will not ban a religion. We will work with all Americans to fight and defeat terrorism. If you believe the minimum wage should be a living wage and no one working full-time should have to raise their children in poverty, join us.
How did the host’s personal journey shape his view of the Obama‑Democrat coalition?
If you believe that every man, woman and child in America has the right to affordable health care, join us. And yes, if you believe that your working mother, wife, sister, or daughter deserves equal pay, join us. That's the country we're fighting for.
Ella Baker, a giant of the civil rights movement. Лефтас від здом. Give people light. And they will find the way. Give people light. Those are words for our time. The current president has cloaked American darkness for much too long. Too much anger, too much fear, too much division. Here and now I give you my word. If you entrust me with the presidency, I will draw on the best of us, not the worst. I will be an ally of the light, not the darkness. Стайн фраз, форви де піпо. To come together. And make no mistake. Юнайтедвиканвил Оверкам. This season of darkness in America. We'll choose hope over fear, facts over fiction, fairness over privilege.
Our nation with this election has a precious fleeting opportunity. To move past the bitterness, cynicism, and divisive battles of the past, a chance to chart a new way forward.
То чвені тварифор елекціон was a disaster for the демократ. They've never been held accountable for any of it. That would ordinarily be the job of the legacy media, but They've long since abandoned any pretense of objectivity. They're part of the resistance and friendly fire is not in the job description. Do I sound bitter? I suppose I am. I once believed in not just the Democratic Party but the Obama coalition. I was a loyal, devoted soldier who believed we were all fighting the good fight even before Trump won. We were the side that cared about climate change, women's rights, the poor, the marginalized. It took me decades to go from being a cynical eighteen year old in the nineteen eighties who didn't think there was any point to voting.
To a person who believed my vote could change the world. That cynicism would be polished off over time, as we headed into the 1990s with political correctness and therapy culture on the rise. We wanted to fix ourselves.
