"no kings rally" yet you were allowed to vote. the left are truly uneducated.
Such an enormously important issue and information for all of us!
We have all the power. We just need to agree on how to use it.
Can you ask her about mass non-cooperation as a high school teacher
this was very interesting, I wish they had done an extended interview👍
Could you please analyse the current Myanmar situation ?
A protest without a demand is called a parade.
For a second I thought Colbert was back on tv
There‘s a lot to love about this interview and this interviewee, both substantively and just how topics are handled. And - this is not the most important thing! - but I do find it somehow restful to hear someone, anyone, stating their POV while citing the names and works of others who have laid the groundwork for their own thinking, and that work and their own is data-based while also being human-based. It‘s like an academic version of the democracy-building methods that they describe, and it feels intuitively beneficial for my brain, amid so much ranting and raving of „Influencers“ and spinmasters.
Well done Daily Show. What a great and profound interview on the first day where people in the USA put a serious check on fascism.
Lovely Isaac Asimov short story about refining the numbers of voters looking for Mr. Normal. <br>They find one person and just he is necessary to vote 🗳️ 😂
She should be in They Might Be Giants
Peer pressure is no simple it is pressure. Continue regardless. Money. F.e.d. can't survive everyday. That is the rich fear. Not the equal but the fall to do so.
Amazing what we can accomplish when we work together.
What a fascinating person, I really enjoyed what they had to say and how they said it. Keep it up, America - your gems are shining :-D
Professor, you make me want to go back to school and study political science.
A brilliant person - thank you for interviewing them!
I think China would disagree with 3.5% rule. The majority of Chinese people were very much against their oppressive regime and nothing happened
Well done, Kostas!
I think the real argument against violent resistance is the fact that the state has no problem using violence against you and they have significantly more tools with which to enact that violence. So it might not be as much about being the bigger men with the better morals as it is simply not giving militaries an excuse to target you.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4_kjdNnDlg&t=177">2:57</a> But was it a repudiation of Trump entirely or just from effects of the Iran war?
I've been saying that we need to withhold our taxes until we end the war in Iran and get universal healthcare!
He's preparing and teaching people how to do pogroms on the Jews. Mark my words, the tactics they are preparing people for were used on the Jews in the 1930s, we didn't forget
Bravo!!!
Tyranny of the minority. Democrats interpreting a vote against as a mandate for overreach. Very predictable.
I love her, ok America you heard her, let‘s restrict the dictatorˋs options…💪💙💙💙
Close your wallet when you can.
When Michael Kosta gives a personal reason for having a guest, I know I'm in for an interesting time.
I am proud to be one of the three point five 🗽
It seems to me that MAGA was the 3.5% that overthrew the status quo, and now this 3.5% is working on fixing it.

Love Erica. Their book on civil disobedience and how non-violence works is fantastic. <br><br>There are also lectures of theirs online that are truly enlightening. So glad to see them get a larger platform.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4_kjdNnDlg&t=66">1:06</a> no. That's jon Stewart...
I would have bet money that was Chris Hayes 😂
Doesn't the Big Bonkers Bill - have all sorts of things that were set to kick in , next year , as to not poorly influence the mid terms ? Well, they're over - now let's find out what that poison pill ...is.
This participation base is huge! And growing! Last night was awesome. But 2028 is right around the corner. Purple in 28 to save us from this whiplash!
Forget the 3.5% rule, 4% rule all the way!
This is a smart person.
absolutely OUTSTANDING interview!!! so thoughtful, so inspirational, so delightful!
That was an excellent interview!
Dr. Chenoweth is. BRILLIANT
but not the only pathway!! Even the ANC launched the mk arm which was an armed struggle against the apartheid government !! You’re avoiding that
A comedian is slowly learning the skill of interview... & doing much better at it than his colleagues.
Using Gandhi as a path forward and mentioning S Africa within the interview shows her ignorance of history but heyyy, she's still cool lol
Morrisey knew this in the 90's. See "A rush and a push and the land is ours."
Stronger together
You only need .00001%... trump. He lost that all himself.
Dear America — protest is a very simple formula, like nearly everywhere in life: What are the costs for each party?<br><br>In other words, you need to push the costs for the billionaires so high that it becomes impossible to ignore you. How do you do that? Nationwide strikes. For days, weeks, or perhaps months. <br><br>If you only demonstrate after work, they simply laugh at you. Why should they change anything as long as the working class goes right back to work the next day just like before? The oligarchs do not lose a single cent that way.<br><br>The only way to make them listen is to make them lose money—a lot of it—by blocking their business model. Stop them from making money by taking away their most vital asset: your labor.<br><br>It is a very, very simple cost-benefit calculation, just like in the Russian war. Russia will only stop when the costs become too high for them. Right now, they are simply not high enough yet.<br><br>This message is approved by a battle-proven European.
To see the result of the massive activism against encroaching authoritarianism is euphoric. It's really inspiring to hear Erica Chenoweth's clear advice for moving forward from this marvelous midterm to continue the DEMOCRACY MOVEMENT. Thanks for this terrific interview!!
Where, in this conversation, is a reference to the three percenters (III%)? This idea has been kicked around, by rightwing militias, for some time.. I was hoping there wasn't much reality to the theory.
I read the book about the 3.5% study this summer and have been sharing about it since -- it's also got a ton of footnotes for discovering other important sources of doctrine on peaceful resistance
I love how Eloquent they are. Very interesting! I would love to check one of their lectures.
I like that Erica just straight up referred to 47 as a de facto dictator without even blinking. So honest and accurate. I like this interview demonstrating that just because the vote went blue doesn't mean that the work of the citizenry is done. Let's keep making our voices heard.
Non-violence = Thoureau, Gandhi, MLK, Mandela. It works.
The lead up to war is 100x more interesting than the actual war
Loved this; it gave me hope that we can continue to push for real change even if the Democratic establishment roadblocks progress. Thank you for this guest and conversation.
Until the 3.5% get pushed aside by people with billions of dollars, etc. We elect people (as we just did) that we hope and expect to do what we need them to do, and then they don't. That is what I fear, and expect to happen. There is already talk by the democratic leaders in Congress to not try to hold the Admin. responsible for their crimes.
She’s right: STAY ENGAGED!!!! 👍🏻👍🏾👍👍🏿👍🏼💙💙
3.5% of the time, it works every time.
I love that we could mathematically calculate our way toward peace! I'll pick up that book for sure. There's also a book entitled "How to Overthrow Your Government" in case anyone is interested.
The last time I was this early, the movement didn't have 3.5% support
I’m still riding the blue tsunami 🌊 hanging ten 🏄♂️ and eating avocado toast 🍞

Cool of the daily show to let their guests wear their Halloween costumes!
