    Just want to say thank you for this video! You are a person that makes me believe there is still something good and hopeful in the US after this awful display/outcome. It seems to me that the US might have plenty of freedom of speech, but seriously lack freedom of thought (not people like you of course), they let others think for them. Education, religion, media, social media, laziness, lots of reasons for that probably. It"s sad and the world will suffer for it, but most of all Americans themselves (including amazing, smart, kind people like yourself). I really hope this awful, ugly reality show ends soon and a new and better US can rise out of it. Even if you have to make some big changes to get there. Are you really the UNITED states anymore? Only you know.
    Wishing you the best of luck and fighting spirit! You are not alone, a lot of people outside of the US feels and looks at this the same way that you do and support you (even though there is little more we can do). Maybe it has to get worse for it to get better? Hopefully enough people can wake up out of the cult/brainfog. This too shall pass. ❤

      I think this is a very good point and I might pin this comment because Mike and I continuously talk about this. One thing that shocks Mike the most about Americans is that they do not do their own research (especially Trump supporters). They hear him say "the sky is green and purple" and without looking up his supporters will say "yeah the purple and green sky is the best". The internet is readily available and people can not be bothereed to do (1) ounce of research on their own which is so scary to me.

      @@HayleyAlexis I do so agree with you both. I think that shocks a lot of people outside of the US. We just cant understand it. This might be the way it worked in the 16-1700s when you went to church and got told what to think. In some churches I bet that can still be true (certainly in cults), but most people have moved forward from that and in school they teach us to think for ourselves, question texts, look for sources and such. This is pivotal to know as a citizen! There seems to still be a lot of propaganda and scare tactics holding people in place in the US for some reason. If this has to do with the history/origin of the US, I don't know, but that's my impression. I watch Americans on YT and they seem so lost, they either buy everything so easily, have no clue or don't know how you actually find out the facts and question everything instead. That is scary. You really stand out, and are so brave. I am so happy to listen to your wise thoughs and teach me about things from your experience. It's very interesting and as I said, you give me hope!

      I think education is the main one of those. The majority of highly educated people did not vote for him. A Gallup report from 2020 said over 50% of American adults lack English literacy proficiency. I don't remember the percentage, but there was a huge percentage that were below 5th grade level reading proficiency. Right there is your answer why they do not research. They never learned how to do research. They intentionally keep people from getting an education, so they can't or won't do their own research and then vote accordingly. I think many of them genuinely do not understand that they vote against themselves. And when the coming VP calls professors the enemy, you can imagine what's coming for higher education. It's not gonna be good.

    First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a socialist.
    Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out-because I was not a trade unionist.
    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-because I was not a Jew.

    Dear Haley,
    thank you for your open and clear words! On your thoughts at 10:09 I remember a famous saying from a german pastor Martin Niemöller. He was once with the nazis but then turned against them. He said: "As the nazis arrested the communists, I stayed silent, because I wasn't a communist. As they arrested the unionists, I stayed silent, for I wasn't in a labor union. As they arested the jews I stayed silent because I wasn't a jew. As they arrested me, there was no one left to protest against it." We should care for others even, if they don't belong to our group.

I'm glad I did, because I was just a zombie in shock the entire day, and needed the time to decompress and process everything. Especially because as the "Token American" I was NOT ready to field questions from everyone I came across.
    I had to go for a Blutabnahme and even in the waiting room these little old Bavarian ladies were discussing the results and making parallels as to how a certain historical figure rose to power (a topic people of that generation DO NOT take lightly). It was surreal. The rest of the world sees it, but half of America does not.

      Die Bildungsarmut in Amerika ist für uns hierzulande nicht ansatzweise zu erahnen. Dazu kommt der amerikanische, ultra kapitalistisch-materielle Lebensstil (den wir leider immer mehr bei uns sehen), dem es Trump sehr, sehr einfach macht, Leute von sich zu überzeugen. Einfache Worte und oberflächliche Versprechen für einfache Menschen. Dazu kommt die Größe des Landes und die geologische Lage. Amerika ist riesig und ist nicht von anderen Ländern umgeben. Demnach gibt es auch kaum Einflüsse aus anderen Ländern. Der durchschnittlich gebildete Amerikaner kennt nur den "America First" -Lebensstil und diesen will er unter allen Umständen erhalten.
      Daraus ergibt sich der erneute Wahlsieg. Die Demokraten haben ihn und seine Reichweite, mal wieder, völlig unterschätzt und sich unterdessen nicht gerade mit Ruhm bekleckert. Alles was sie machen unterstützt den Glauben der Trump Anhänger, Demokraten wollen ihr Land zerstören, sie versklaven, sie ihres Besitzes entledigen und ihre Woke agenda weiter verbreiten.

    Hi Haley, I am 64 and a German engineer, but I live in the South of France now. I have lived in some and traveled 31 States of the US incl. Alaska since 1977!! What I noticed over the many years was the increasing gap between "educated" Americans and simple workers/immigrants. The latter is always short of money at the end of the month and they look up to someone like Trump as a Mesias, because he has a villa in Florida and flies in on his own plane. That mass of uneducated people has primary thoughts to survive. My father, a business man and writer, always told me that it is easy to be a democrat when you are educated and you got a good, well paied job. Look at Eastern Germany, a part of Germany let down and canabalized (Treuhand) after the fall of the wall by Kohl and Merkel and the population is now voting for the fashist AFD. Look at the Weimar Republic, so many people didn't have jobs in the end plus the resession and all turned towards Hitler "to help them". Kamala / Biden and the Democrats were not able to realy reach and offer anything substancial to the lower class. NEXT TIME :) Kind greetings, Andreas

    As a German, there are so many things I don't understand about the political system:
    - First of all, the electoral college. Didn't make any difference this time, but this system is so unfair and ancient, a lot of votes are being ignored. Why has that never been changed?
    - Why are there still only two parties?
    - 4 years ago, I already thought: such a big, great country, and they only come up with Biden and Trump as candidates? HOW?? And this time, the democrats held on to Biden for so long, unbelievable, and then Kamala was chosen. Don't get me wrong, I would have loved to see her as the first female president. But as you say, as a black female it was hard for her. Wasn't there anybody else to stand a chance against Trump!!??
    But then again I look at Germany and ask myself: Is nobody here trustworthy and capable anymore?
    I just hope, that 4 more years of Trump don't bring more wars to our world than there already are.

    • @MichaelBurggraf-gm8vl
      @MichaelBurggraf-gm8vl 2 години тому +2

      May I answer your second question: I strongly assume that that's due to the principle of the winner takes it all in every voting district (in the UK this principle is called first past the post). The candidate or party getting the most votes wins the voting district meaning that all other votes are being discarded. That principle encourages people to vote predominantly for parties with a reasonable chance of winning a district. As a result the number of parties seriously competing for representing a voting district narrows down to two although actually any number of parties could present itself or its candidate.
      In contrast, for example Germany is applying proportional representation meaning that all votes for parties (eg. Zweitstimme) are counted to determine the proportional share of votes of each individual party and consecutively to calculate the number of seats for each party in parliament (Bundestag). The only votes which get discarded are the votes for parties failing to reach or to exceed the 5% threshold.
      Long story short: the number of dominating parties is mainly a result of the method of counting votes and of determining the representation of a voting district. It's essentially a result of voting habits by the electorate/voters.
      In the USA, that process is complicated further by introducing an additional level of election called the electoral college where each state is treated like a kind of voting district with its respective number of electors. The president gets actually elected by the electors of the electoral college and not directly by the voting districts of the 50 states of the USA.

    • @caseyv9500
      @caseyv9500 Годину тому

      Thank you very much for your detailed answer. It does make sense that the two-party system is a direct result of the electoral system. But I maintain that the electoral college makes little sense to me, I find it unfair.

    • @MichaelBurggraf-gm8vl
      @MichaelBurggraf-gm8vl 40 хвилин тому

      @@caseyv9500 As far as I know the electoral college has been introduced as a compromise in the early years of the USA trying to find a balance between different states, larger vs. smaller ones, urban vs. rural ones. But I'm no expert on that and I don't know the exact reasons for that institution. I only know that it's a part of the constitution of the USA which can be changed only with very large majorities in both, the Senate and the House of Representatives, which makes it very improbable of being changed ever.
      That's a bit of a burden of both, rule of law and a democracy based on an old constitution.
      In the UK the situation is even a bit more complicated because there's not one written constitution but a collection of several books of laws, agreements and well established traditions forming the legal basis for procedures and decisions of the Houses of Parliament.
      In contrast the German constitutions both of the Weimar Republic 1919 - 1933 and the Federal Republik of Germany since 1949 have been created with having something like the French constitution in mind. That appears to have a clearer, more logical and more modern structure. Additionally Napoleon initiated a legal reform resulting in a well structured set of books of law called the Code Civil which later was used by many continental European countries as an example of creating a clearer more comprehensible system of laws compared to older collections of laws. In Germany such modern (Napoleonic) books of laws are the BGB (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, civilian book of law), the StGB (Strafgesetzbuch, book of penal law) and the HGB (Handelsgesetzbuch, book of commercial law). Mind that the term Napoleonic is meant to indicate only that it has been created with some inspiration from Napoleon's law reform in France.

    When they came for the trade unionists, I kept quiet; I wasn't a trade unionist.
    When they came for the Jews, I kept quiet; I wasn't Jewish.
    When they came for me, there was no one left to protest."

    OMG!! EVERY single word that you said could have been me talking!
    I'm an Independent voter who has voted mostly for Democrats, but never for Trump. I left the U.S. three years ago, planning to return, but life has only improved since I left. The racism in the U.S. hasn’t gone away-it’s just changed form...somewhat. They can’t openly revert to past discrimination, like it would have been in the 1800's or 1950's, although some try, so they do it in subtle ways. I love my country, but I struggle with what it's become. While not everyone is racist, overall, society still has deep-seated racial issues and the ignorance is INSANE! I worry every single day about my son and police brutatlity and I have talked to him about leaving the country.
    I used to think about the possibility of returning to the U.S. at some point, but I don't want to deal with the racist people, the people who think that they have a say so over a woman's body, the religious zealots who think that everyone is going to hell, etc. Besides, the culture where I live is amazing and it feels "alive" where I live, compared to the dull suburds of the U.S.

      Is that dems biggest argument that "oh he's a racist" people are starving thanks to Biden and Kamala can't afford food or housing things were way be better when he was in office. The state of the country and the economy is more important than yalls TDS issues. The fact that the last administration just let the flood gates wide open to illegals and destroyed the U.S. is no big deal apparently even Kamala admitted that if she was in office she wouldn't have done anything different than Joe. Just sickening and f'ing insane we just dodged a bullet with this election.

    Hayley you hit the nail squarely on the head. For millions of Americans the election came down to one thing, a black women against a white man. It didn't matter the the white man was the most flawed individual possible, a liar, a sexist, a felon, a sexual predator , a racist, and l could go on and fill the page. Against a black women who was , intelligent, kind, caring and highly qualified to do the job . But this is America and all millions saw was white man , black women. Sadly now the rest of us who see things differently will pay the price, along with most of the people who voted for trump. I am 66 years old, and the county l was born and raised in and grew up in is now dead. What comes next is going to be very dark. l feel sorry for my young daughters and am ashamed and embarrassed by my country.

    My opinion as a German.
    If this had been some margin Electoral win i would maybe let count the usual excuses like wrong "Message" by the Dems or something.
    But this kind of a Win....no..no..not so fast Lonestar.
    No more excuses this was:
    1. Lack of Education
    2. Hate,Racisum & Selfishness
    3. Fear of a Woman President.
