Noam Chomsky on Bernie Sanders and why Trump's reelection would be an "indescribable disaster"
Bernie Sanders has dropped out of the 2020 presidential race - but that doesn't mean the movement Sanders sparked has failed, and it doesn't mean the stakes aren't still high in the race between remaining contenders President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. "This is the most crucial election in human history, literally. Another four years of Trump and we're in deep trouble," says renowned linguist and political dissident Noam Chomsky. "It's common to say now that the Sanders campaign failed. I think that's a mistake. I think it was an extraordinary success - completely shifted the arena of debate and discussion," he says, adding that the Sanders campaign also inspired a wave of grassroots activism among the Democratic party's rank-and-file that a Biden presidency could potentially be sympathetic to. "Suppose Biden is elected. I would anticipate it would be essentially a continuation of Obama - nothing very great, but at least not totally destructive."

In my experience, Chomsky is very right. As an activist, there is a huge difference between a Republican who just tells you to get lost, and a Democrat who gives you a meeting. At that meeting, the Democrat tells you why they can't do what you want. At that crucial point, you offer solutions to their reservations. Once you get the meeting, the activist switches from a protestor to a consultant (just like corporations hire outside management consultants). You come up with the solution to the problem (be it political, fiscal, or logistical), the Democrat might say "that could work." Then they adopt your policy and take credit for it. Any real activist knows this two-step. Anyone who thinks politicians ever do anything because you 'demand' it in protest marches, that's not a real activist. The only thing the protest gets you is a meeting. But with the Republican, you never even get the meeting, you just get a FU.

Republicans never need a meeting with Democrats because we can read their minds in their sleep And we let their fellow cohorts lick up their drool at dawn to begin another great day.. Democrats are never anything BUT activists. They protest, raise hell, whine & moan. But they NEVER accomplish anything truly significant. It's all just window dressing. The only point I can give Democrats is that they're articulate. Very articulate in bullshit, and they leave no questions unanswered regarding their true intents, even though they're selling us something different - fools gold. A pile of shit dressed up like a bar of leprechaun gold. Their motto is always "finders keepers, losers weepers." As for Chomsky, he is by far the most intelligent idiot in history. Watch Trump debate Biden. He knows what Biden is going to say before Biden knows what he's going to say. Do any Democrats REALLY think he has a chance in hell of being Pres?

Thanks to Noam Chamsky, still the most viable progressive, socially and politically aware voices are coming from within the US, . Trump's racist, anti human, anti environment, seduo-fascist era back lashed with Bernie's social democrat movement suddenly turning into a viable political, social and environmental movement which is not going away as long as there is an american society. The sudden surge of this movement is not exactly a Trumpian achievement, rather it is symptomatic of a deep flaw within US democracy which has gone unnoticed especially after the fall of USSR. with GOP presidents starting with Ronald Reagan continually shedding the most basic human values untill the emergence of Trump. There could be no worse US president, but if he is reelected, it's the end of democracy not just in the US, but for the entire world.

Young people are so tired of staring the small screen. At the end of the day any human is more into mental lift and Sanders is capable to deliver that. There is just a pinch of larger group of people who are more capable to receive positive things than negatives. That is why right-left setting is so equal all around world. Also a consequence is that a good guy occasionally get elected here and there. Telling people that this and that way different kind of folks is bad and should be punished as solution to individual probems has more limited possiblities than telling people that they can live in safe, peace and harmony if environment and situation are healthy. Both types of messages must be delivered in inspiring way to have any effect.

@@upstateraider9425 You "replied" to your own comment, just to explain it?
OMG! Grandpa Chomsky... Hope he is doing fine. Great person, greatest thinker of our time.
Not supporting the anti-Trump candidate is a luxury only the well-off can afford. For most people it's a matter of life or death, and anything else is just playing games, and trying to be better than everyone else. Or, as I assume, a Russian bot.
Trump's election is similar to Sanders: they were candidates and movements of the dissatisfied.
Not voting Biden. So Trump it is then. Dem party serves corporations. I will not be bullied into voting for who they force as their choice
Shouldn't he be saying these things about Andrew Yang? What has bernie said that he didn't say in 2016 and lost? Andrew Yang is the one who entered be ideas and it's a great success..
MAYBE WE SHOULD PREPARE FOR SANCTUARY CITIES ............THE BELL RIOTS..............ANYONE ?
I differ with Chomsky here. He is assuming that Biden in his frail old age will be approachable by movements like the sunrise movement. Biden is given to being combative with people who question his actions or demand actions he does not understand. Chomsky assumes Biden can be reasoned with and possibly influenced. Biden would just challlenge the Sunrisers to a pushup contest. He is harsh and unreasonable. Sorry Noam.
I'm curious why right-wingers and Trump supporters decide to comment in the Democracy Now comment section. I suppose it's the thrill of inciting reactions. I cannot even imagine the psychology of that. But then, I never have been able to understand the psychology of cult followers.
It's only a matter of time before the older generation dies out and the dreaded millennials (of which I am one), are left to deal with and try to make policies that reflect how my generation and I think. That's the only way I think and meaningful change would happen. By then it'll be like polishing a piece of shit.

@Lost Hero I didn't mean it in a disrespectful way. I just meant that there's a reason why we can't have the things that our parents and grandparents had, and why we live with our parents (and it's not because we like living with them). We believe in universal health care, so since the boomers are dragging their feet to implement change, it's obvious with Biden as the "pick" we'll just have to wait it out until they die.
How are Biden's policies even better than Trump's?
Some good points, but if we can survive biden we can survive trump.
Would like to know how chomsky feels about the original people in the United states. We had treaties . We have our own culture. Oil .Did Jewish people scam their own people in Hitler days?many tribes in America let Vegas in .they wanted every state to gamble. They were hoping if the tribes (Sovereign )would give them free access .They really wanted access the oil.Polution was not even on the table My ancestors can't believe that our youth can't fish off dick bridge. The water is polluted. This same Oklahoma state wants to change the name because dick bridge is problematic?his name is Richard. He was a captain. During that war. I do understand why the south Is fighting hard to not let thier history go. Compromise? Do not knock down other peoples .you have no history of thousands and thousands of years. I do. Every brown person should answer the call. Brown .do not be specific. White people r not specific. This is what white people r afraid of.this census will show brown. Number one.
What if Covid19, which experts said could last until next spring, is still a major problem in November? Young and independent voters didn't even show up for Sanders in expected numbers before this. Will they show up for Biden and risk their lives? Love for Prof. Chomsky but Trump may be inevitable.
