"The moment you need to explain what you mean is the moment you lose the argument."

Spot on.

Tariq nasheed broadcast brought me here 😂😂😂

*Clyburn is a corporate Democrat to his core. The Squad & other progressives need to expand, to limit the corporate influence on the party & a Biden administration.*

[grapentine]

You know he gets more money from pharmaceutical companies than anyone in Congress. Politicians should not be celebrities. We are in a serious crisis. If u don't fight you get what you all deserve.

[dc]

James clyburn is the uncle ruckus of the Democrat party.

[vicpardo]

Another throwback dinosaur who exemplifies term limits. Worthless.

[selalewis]

Done with water-carrying black politicians.

[anwardunbar]

I'm a fan of this guy just off this one interview alone😂😂😂😂😂

[aiynaiy]

This old man has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. PLEASE step aside and let new leadership emerge.

[laughter]

Exactly. These radical leftist slogans are horrible PSA’s. And sympathy for the lawlessness we saw over the summer was incredibly damaging politically.

[timeclockfraud]

I dislike this guy. He sabotaged Bernie in the primaries before South Carolina. Get the money out of politics and corporate shills like this clown

[remdreamlight]

This guy is off message. We need to be more progressive

[frankthiel]

"Stops sloganeering, " translation hide what we really want to do....aka trick the moderate Democrats....SMFH

[EduardoGrassoTV]

Progressive squad hold everyone else accountable except for them. That's the thing. That is why is wrong to think they are different from the rest

[xyxy]

terrible interview, she doesn't challenge him at all.

[evan]

Nice looking interviewer, sure. But I have no idea how any interviewer expects to be taken seriously by a) unintentionally funny pans in camera perspective, like something out of a skit about a narcissistic YouTuber; b) asking questions in a wheedling, childish voice; c) having way too much focus on the interviewer in general - she is not interesting or important (except maybe to 13-16 year old girls who live on their screens?) Whatever his substance as a legislator, Clyburn is making an important political point to progressives about needlessly alienating voters they need to achieve durable majorities. The only point of an interviewer is to ask good questions and hone in to elicit revealing answers. Have viewers become so shallow they need mugging spokesmodels dominating the screen?
