This was like a chess master taking on 20 opponents in a boxing ring. I watched the whole thing but over 3 sittings. It was hard to watch. Some of those debaters were insane. I had to take breaks. I don't know how Mehdi does it.
At least Piers Morgan occasionally pauses to listen to a full response. Most of the Jubilee 20 just butterfly jabbed without landing a punch.
A very important debate as it shows the rest of us what we are up against. Truly unhinged fascists and racists. Trump has undone decades of all the Civil Rights movement’s progress! The fight has begun again.
I salute your restraint and eloquence, Mehdi. While I trust some did attend in good faith - Edwin, Cyrus, and Samuel - the rest are definitely there with a superiority complex.
It's terrifying to see a budding fascist, several proud white supremacists, and a bunch of enablers clapping and laughing like it was all fun and game.
Watched it all patiently. I salute you Mehdi for your patience & perseverance with these crazies!
I just have to ask as to who and how they chose these 20 unhinged bigots to this program. For them racism and fascism are completely normal. Beggars belief!!
Mehdi, i think your awesome, but, when the other side has their alotted time to speak, you frequently talk over them. It hurts my brain when two people constantly talk at the same time. Also, giving them time to speak is giving them time to step in it, a strategy in and of itself. Perhaps a time format kind of like a chess match , but each side gets to speak uninterupted. Cheers.
I agree. Two people talking over each other hurts my head too. But it's not moderated and when someone flings a cluster of turds the only response is rapid-fire NO, NOT TRUE, NEVER SAID THAT.
I don't like the Jubilee 'Surrounded' format. Never again.
The debate was, at least in part, a disturbing view of sociopolitical extremism, including overt, even proud and defiant, racism, authoritarianism and/or fascism, among a hopefully very small subsection of American youth.
Mehdi was adept in cutting through false premises and historical inaccuracies.
Yes it was very important. I learned in the army “know your enemy then strike at their weakness.” However when it is all hate only the devil can relate
“The America I knew has been taken away from me.” - MAGA supporter in 2016
I watched in horror as Mehdi exposed the depth and hypocrisy of the fascist ideology on display during his Jubilee debate. The level of pervasive toxicity and ignorance shown by “conservative” participants in plain view was heartrending.
The realization of how far our country has fallen as millions of Americans embrace a ruinous political ideology because they believe others searching for a better life for themselves and their families have stolen away the chance at obtaining the American dream from them. Pinning their failures on migrant communities is an easy out for MAGA supporters, amplified and given license by the current occupant of the WH.
This type of public engagement is more necessary than ever before. Mehdi’s unbridling of the poisonous rhetoric from the other participants was a masterful example of how to engage those who have no respect for opposing views and wish to destroy our Constitutional Republic .
It was a CIRCLE JERK and Medhi was the master(bator) who "unloaded" on his opponents. Gross! Medhi knew exactly what he was doing participating in Jubilee Media's 'Surrounded' show. He has mad debating skills (Medhi wrote the book), he knew his opponents would not be skilled debaters, and they would be white supremacists, "far-right crazies" spewing racists ideas. Otherwise there wouldn't be a debate! It was a Medhi media stunt to get a "very viral video" (it did.) It is SO embarrassing to see Medhi stoop to this level to get clickbait for Zeteo.
Sometimes it’s very important to remind people just exactly how crazy these people are. A lot think similarly but speak differently. I have spoken to many “normal” white Americans, completely sane people, who see themselves as “Americans” and non-white people as having come from somewhere else. And they hate being told they also come from somewhere else!
Phew! I know the pro Trump movement is based in racism, but to see so many radicalized racist young people who think it's OK to shit all over the constitution has been chillingly eye opening. Thanks for this.
Fascinating debate. My what is in the majority of their heads? Some very interesting points from the chap debating the 14th amendment. He sounded very intelligent. You agreed to many of his points. Ultimately the whole concept of amending the constitution by way of executive order is flawed. Through a democratic process there is always room for change given that times move on. I do believe that Trump, a convicted felon, should not be in a position of power and that he is a game show host that only serves himself and the wealthy. Brilliant debate. Thanks
When all is said and done, having listened to all the arguments for and against, you know what sticks in my craw, Mehdi? That you provided YET another platform for these lunatics to voice their vile hatred and bigotry.

Medhi, I listened to the first 5 minutes . . . You are a better person than I. I may try again.

Insane to take this on but in a good, brave way.

I don't believe that such extremists should be platformed, but you did a good job tearing them apart.
Thanks

Watched this debate from Switzerland and was completely stunned by the level of “Dogma” in the room.
The world is need of good ideas and it seems like we won’t get a lot of them anytime soon if this keeps going in the same direction…
