doubts shows the geopolitical reality beyond the borders. what makes things the way they are mapped out? navigating a changing world. now on youtube, the democracy is on the ballot this november, we elect donald trump again. i am scared for the future of our democracy and the, the a lot of people saying president trump the threatening democracy. i feel like because of that we've had the assassination attempts on in the country is deeply divided. it's highly polarized to long partisan lines. and our country will be dead if she gets elected or a lot of people on the left that genuinely like,

don't see us as equals just because we think a certain way. the hardest part is how do you find that balance of working with people on certain issues that they don't even want to meet in the middle for this complete extreme side. we're also going to stand fast on what we believe in which is preserving the american heritage way of life. it's about the future of this country, but it's also about the future of our generation. the . are you registered democrat by chance? all good. or you read the democrats. ok have a great day. have a good show of you all. the sabrina boost bar is nearing the end of the campaign

trail and hoping to represent the democratic party in the house of representatives . we are at a time in our politics. unfortunately, we're very divisive where it's very hateful, where we have extremes on both sides. and we're really not talking about okay, you know, the beauty of america is that our differences is what makes us the united states page $27.00 1st bar would be the 1st generation z congresswoman. but 1st, she faced as a primary election within her own party, up against 4 fellow democrats to become the candidate for her district in florida. boost bar has been hitting the streets canvassing daily for several months now. although in her eyes there was more at stake in the upcoming state and national elections than just her own political ambitions. the is about the future of our democracy. this is about defending democracy. this is about the american dream and making sure every american has the ability to achieve the goals that they want to achieve. the laker parties,

presidential candidate coming, let harris. she was born to immigrant parents in her case to american father and of columbia. mother, my parents interested be 34 years ago, and from a young age they really taught me the beauty of america. you know, the ability to stand up for what you believe in to show up for your communities and how it's so important to get that. so i definitely developed that passionate giving back and public service and really found my love for it. and that's what i think that's why i chose this over money or overpower or whatever it might be. good. the my name is why it gave the for the state house republican domini,

trying to come introduce myself to everybody to see if you have any questions for me. will young. i'm 41. yeah. i'll be 20 through on monday as i get a lot of excitement, i think is due to the fact that our current president is in his eighty's and the republican albany is almost 80. a lot of people are looking for maybe a younger candidate and a for us set of ideas. a 5 when i will be the youngest current member of the general assembly. while gable is hoping to represent the republicans and the north carolina state legislature, the election will take place on the same day as the vote for president november 5th gables, idea to run for office originated during the cold and pandemic in response to the restrictions imposed that his university if you are not vaccinated for code, which i am not yet tested every week, and then if you did not get tested, they turn your student id off so you couldn't eat. so basically we're just trying to starve you into submission and not caring what you believe in your medical freedoms. and i just kind of felt like no one cared. so i figured, well,

i'll be the one that tears and listen to everybody's regulations to luck. thank you . i saw the uh, the flag on the transporter as well. so. yes, yep. thank you all for your time. why it's district is majority republican and pro donald trump. but not everyone is which can result in awkward confrontations. i see this are probably dollars the same sort of thing, but uh, you know, how old is $21.00 when you bought the change its sides. yeah, i don't know about that for me, but we must not like women or day people are minorities. that's not it. you want somebody that follows the rules of law and the country is what you're saying. then republicans have lost the word and i'm afraid i really yeah, i'm afraid of him and his cronies get into power again. i may have to leave this country seriously. and the reason is because i'm

a gay man. how do you do that man? into a psychiatrist nissan. i gotta get the people that actually will vote for me. so thanks for your time though. you hear stuff like that all the time. i don't think he's a bad person or anything. i don't think everyone that supports commer harris is a bad person. it's just you're getting that stuff where they're saying, because you might have a difference of opinion that you're mentally on hands or something. i'm so used to now doesn't really affect me in any way. maybe if we sat down and we did talk for a while, we could have found some common ground on something. but the, i didn't, i'd like to say that, but in reality i know it's kind of difficult to actually convince people to sit down and try and find those things. i think our politics is divided. i think it in it increases the victory all jane hall is a professor of media and politics at the american university in washington, dc. for years, she's been observing the deepening divide in american society therapy. people who

say we're more polarized and we've been since the civil war. i think that our media and our politics amplifying each other. the floodgates had been opened to all kinds of hate speech and particularly against vulnerable grooves, particularly against women. a bad polarization is something sabrina. boost bar has also observed in her daily campaign trail chats. my son is, he's a transfer. so and so we, it's difficult, he watches fox news and some of those other, you know, extreme right wing channels. you, my son alive has many so many heated discussions and they didn't then well, so we have agreed to not talk about politics like it's thanksgiving or things like that. just to keep the peace boost bar needs to find a way of talking politics with the opposing side. even if that can be

a thankless task. well, the difficulty is, is like how do you work with someone who's disrespectful? how do you find that balance of working with people on certain issues that they don't even want to meet in the middle for um are completely believe is like against the american values. i mean, that's why i call them extreme s, sorry, like this complete extreme side rather than your moderate republicans who are willing to meet in the middle and bring back respect towards other people. or this breakdown in communication on a personal and political level is having dramatic consequences. means deadlock divisions. and it means that now we're questioning the basic norm some electrical democracy at the renowned stanford university in northern california. and james fishing has been examining the causes of this polarization and its impact on both the political landscape and society in general. and he's observed the growing departure from traditional democratic principles. if my team doesn't win,

maybe we don't play anymore. maybe we, um, we can't accept the outcome. the other team coming to power is becomes the next essential threat. if you want to revisit this perceived threat that makes certain people resort to extreme actions. the wrong way is a lot of people saying president trump the threatening democracy, but then i feel like because of that we've had the assassination attempts on him recently. and i think those kind of things. but as the more and more people say stuff like that, well, i'm from both sides. it kind of makes things heated on unnecessarily. and there has been plenty of heated rhetoric from the republican side to including from influential influencers on the conservative rank. among them is charlie kirk, founder of turning point usa, the youth outreach organization claims to have over a quarter of a 1000000 members and a presence at several 1000 high schools and college campuses. nationwide. boyd

mainly by annual donations, totaling over $80000000.00. it's founder kirk does not shy for making comments that are not just insightful but outright racist. if i see a black pilot, i'm going to be like, boy, i hope he's qualified this is about bringing in voters that they want and they like and honestly, diminishing and decreasing. the white demographics in america. why a gable was himself president of his university's turning point us h after before deciding to run for political office. one is a non part of the non profit as conservative values like capitalism 1st amendment, 2nd amendment guides limited government. so all those things are something i believe in this kind of the chapter. we have meetings, we talk about current events and things going on in the political world and on campus. so on some great time is it mean a lot of like minded people?

turning points, advocates are quick to dismiss criticism of their group. we don't encourage hatred of any other groups. we do encourage a lot of diversity within what we do. however, we're also going to stand fast on what we believe in which is, as i said, preserving the, the american heritage and way of life. williams, he is taking the fight to turning point usa at the sound of the chinese immigrants . i take personal offense to their hatred for immigrants in their anti americanness for what they're trying to push the in 2023. he found at the progressive youth organization dream for america, for trying to build an organization that reclaims freedom and patriotism as liberal values and building a liberal alternative to charlie curves trying to point us as as

a matter of fighting for our future. you know, we feel the sense in urgency that we have to get involved. still just 17, his outlook has been shaped by only knowing the us as a bitterly divided country. as i grew up during the trump presidency, i have seen and came of age during such a historic and unprecedented time of apathy in this illusion and anger towards government towards institutions towards mia and towards each other. and so all of that combined with such, you know, all the hatred and division is going on. i feel a deep personal conviction for, you know, continuing the fight in politics. but what scary about turning point usa is actually they have ties to far right extremes and they have white nationalist speak at their events. they funded buses to take 350 students to trumps january 6 insurrection. candace owens, their former com director, said that quote, hitler was okay until he went global. and they have a history of sexism and massage. and he was telling students,

the students should have as many children as possible to stop the muslim takeover of american culture and governance. those are the worst examples that you can do is i think it's pretty weight. um, you know, tele christian americans to have more children because the muslims are coming here and having more children than we are. yeah, that's, that's, that's true. that is it, that is just factually true. i think it's very fair for americans to want to protect in their own way of life and of of a way to do that is to try and bolster our on demographics. yeah, that's, that's completely fair. what his own demographics include the likes of sabrina boost bar, the child of immigrants, but herself american born and bred, the proud to be columbia moroccan. but i'm also proud to be american. i'm american 1st right. i was born here. i was raised here.

this is my home, this is my country and i've always felt that sense of service and gratitude for what this country did for my family wasn't for america. i wouldn't be here. um and you know, my parents coming from 2 different countries with 2 different kinds of cultures. they really loved how this country allowed people to be different and still marry. right. having the ability to not be judged because a muslim man and a catholic woman decided to get married. donald trump frequently uses his public appearances to make sweeping and inciteful statements about immigrants. illegal immigrants coming in, many of whom are killers, many of whom are drug dealers, many of whom are gang members, and many of whom came out of prisons from all over the world. in springfield, they're eating the dogs, the people that came in there eating the catch, the kind of rhetoric that's further polarizes, the country of the,

there's been appeals to nationalism, to racism. in my view. uh, there are a lot of appeals that are out there that are alienating to some people and also feeding into a narrative that somebody is the other. you know, that's a very important kind set that up that i don't really know you. you are somebody that, that i don't relate to because i've, you've been the human eyes. but democrats have also resorted to marginalizing and integrating their political opponents. you know what you feel it, these guys are creepy and yeah, it's just weird as hell. that's what, that's what you're trying to push. this idea that conservatives are awful and that they're there. we are that, that kind of slander and that kind of negative talk towards our side that does exist on our side towards them but, but nowhere near with the viciousness. i don't disagree with the criticism of,

of the idea that somebody should be looked down on calling them weird. i personally would not have called anybody weird. i have a feeling that it reflects what probably has been an unfortunate elite ism in our media for not speaking to these people. and i'm looking down on these people . and the reason that so difficult is what's called american has also gotten politicize. increasingly, voters from the 2 sides of the divine are living in different worlds, not just ideologically, but also in geographical terms. hey, how are you? some have even moved to a different part of the country for political reasons. unfortunately, we are have a trump signed fan, we ran them off. roberts as science really came, came down from massachusetts, actually california and

a refugee from gal were my god, i'm a resident with that state. massachusetts. the sol, bad sanctuary. city. yeah. really, really bad. but so yeah, the best thing i have a good a, a week i'd say, can you tell me to tell you? thank you. i think the big reason we've gotten to the point is because of social media and things like that. whereas now before you talk to someone face to face, where is now you're doing it behind a computer screen where you know as a whole lot more easy to allow the insults over a keyboard versus face to face. and i feel like the more people shift online, the worst that's gonna get there used to be more of a shared public sphere. where if somebody said something that was false, it was corrected. or if somebody said something that was obviously misleading, it was corrected. but that's broken down because of the other points of view are never heard the corrections and never heard. because everybody's in their

own enclave. their own filter bubble, their own source of information. james fagan wants to help people with different political views, find more common ground with what he calls deliberative polls. he compares participants opinions before and after they discuss contentious issues such as immigration and abortion with each other to conduct in one such a experiment with young voters in the summer of 2024. with remarkable results. we find that when people deliver it together, they, they not only come to an informed judgment, but they, the polarize. and to my surprise is the people with the most extreme opinions, who the polarized the most people say. the current divisions are calcified. they're a movable but they're not calcified because we see the same move. sabrina

boost bar is hosting a meet and greet event that she tries to reach out to voters in her congressional district. i actually believe in working with everyone, right? a lot of concepts, you know, i told her on, you know, obviously we're going to disagree. there's going to be controversy and how do we actually go about it. but frank and honest discussions with the other side are in reality, really easy even if many wish they were. i think i would like to see the country to be less polarized. i would like to see both ends of the spot and come home together . i think that totally um, in my own personal life and also my professional life that i get into the habit of calling people in and calling people in to discuss and to share rather than calling people out on the news that i believe are from russell. i don't think you know retail and create that space for this discussions. how it's possible that young people can help overcome polarization because i don't get the feeling that young

people are nearly as polarized. but they are not speaking to each other as much as they should. the democratic convention is now underway in chicago and outside the venue, the parties, opponents, challenge and supporters. while inside the atmosphere is triumphant, this year, 17 year old williams. he is still nearly a spectator, but he knows what role he and his generation have to play in there. to find a country is vitally important that we offer some hope and brightness as an alternative. our goal is really to make that fundamental cultural shift towards the values that we think are going to be best suited to push this country in a better direction. and i'm excited to hear about the future of this country and it's a minor role in part and trying to help guide has

a precious the tang opportunity to move past the bitterness, cynicism and divisive battles of the past. a chance to charge a new way forward not, not as members of any one party or faction, but as american convention ends with current vice president tomlin harris, accepting the parties nomination as candidate for the presidential election in november. the

weather sabrina boost bar will have the chance to potentially join the presidential . hopeful in washington will be decided this evening. it's the democrats primary day in florida. boost bar is one of just 2 jen. z candidates nationwide, still in the running for a seat in congress. right. you know, an important election for this race, but also for the future of gen, see, and young people in office. and so we're excited. i mean, i do think regardless, no matter what we ran such a wonderful campaign that i think we've proven to people young people to deserve a seat at the table and we should be heard. boost bar has had the support of her family from day one. now while they can do was waiting nervously for the returns over in california, james fagan is working on an assisted online platform to facilitate civilized

debate, especially between young people of all political stripes, close to 41000000. gen z years will be eligible to vote in this year's elections. almost a 5th of them. first timers, my ultimate aspiration is to spread the deliberate of process. so that more and more people are coming to their considered judgments about what should be done. and if we can get it in the schools, then we can reach millions more people. it really is transformative and would help create a more deliberative society and more respect for the ground rules of electro democracy. the in north carolina way of gable is attending a republican party meeting and his own county given the current situation for many americans, the idea of engaging with the other side and bridging the gulf between the political parties seems barely feasible. how can they live together again?

i don't know that there is a way right now we've got to have a canceling and awakening. and i think we're seeing that we're seeing a lot of young people that have the right attitude and the right reasoning in what they want, such as wide cable. that's what we want. we, we need new leadership. we need a new foundation. this young man was raised with a fairly strong foundation, and this is what we got to get back to this board. our connection was found it all the 1st time in my life. i'm looking at it the election. well, we have a little comment is running for president for those people who are voted for comalla hairs are voting for a socialist march to democratic ideology is she is sleeping through our society.

and it's pathetic. you have to go, donald trump, for president of the united states of america. have to canada for north carolina. how's a representative? just 21 years old. wyatt has already made a significant move back by winning a republican farmer. this is for me in welcoming why the user pay within, but we have to make sure we all, you know, the, we all figured out and do or not. we all figured out in the phone call. we have to go stand outside the visit. everyone the, it's an election where for each side victory at the polls it cns confirmation of

their ideology and values. the it's the moment of truth for sabrina boost bar. did her commitment translate into enough votes? will she be the democratic candidate for congress and november? the tension mounts that she and her supporters wait for the results. the there's a knock on wood. it's that damn. no, no, we lost. she has 23746 and we have 6757. yeah. okay. the,

the young aspiring politician concedes defeat something that not everyone is happy to do. their own race is over for now, but tomorrow she'll be continuing her fight for her vision of her country's future . the it's about moving towards the vision for this country and the value said that is more helpful and inclusive. the. 2 and get us email president the public and private as it will fall within governor

of belgium's household state, oregon super majority. and we will be republicans off to bog down. let's go with i don't believe we should compromise their values, right. your values and your beliefs or your values and your belief, that's it. but what we should do is still work with one another. you can trace a bite to any worse than the treaty, the end, the war has to be discussing some point. we still have to have that discussion now you can just put up a wall and say, i'm not going to talk to this person never again, because that's when bad things happen. the, the people in cuba are fighting over fish the money and the economy or the economy . it's very important i will survive, but he allows the company to incentive since

a chinese fish mill factory opens here, everything has changed. now in impending ecological disaster is threatening the livelihoods of fishermen. what can they do? the co operative in 30 minutes on the w. r. really ends of them. and they all to it. a out of game of creepy crawly. guess why it is complicated? and what can we humans learn from the researchers shed light on them, loves game up creepy crawly. box facts. it's complicated. it's 75 minutes. on d w. we
