The Most Popular (and Insane) Third Party in American History, with Jon Bois | PTFO

  • Jon Bois, the internet's most creative documentarian, somehow uses Google Earth to take you on a journey from Viking longships, to Bob Gibson, to Ross Perot. His new docu-series, REFORM!, is the forgotten story of political quacks, wonks and clown cars. Its lessons are just as relevant today as they were in the '90s - in large part because some of those same cranks are still around, daring us to remember how we got here... and why we can't escape.
    Watch REFORM!

      i think bois should be a regular on PTFO, and maybe even pablo could do some collab work with SB nation. they're very similar in style and content. both loosely related to sports, but love to go off on tangents about stories related to specific athletes or teams. like, pablos story about the yankee swap could 100% have been a jon bois story too.

    I was in middle school in '92 and we did a school wide mock election. Perot won by a landslide. I agree with the whole "he would have been a terrible President" take but the idea that there was some modicum of common sense to his politics and that he was detached from party politics still rings loudly in 2024. I'm going to have to check out the documentary because even leaving partisan politics at the door of UA-cam comments, we're looking at Biden/Trump II and most of America below the age of 65 is groaning loudly but because of the party apparatus, it feels like we're all stuck. Perot winning may have unstuck us from the two party merry-go-round, but that's a big pie in the sky thing to wonder.

    I saw the Stieb four part series. I had no idea who did it. I agree with him on 3rd parties. It doesn't happen often but 3 party types do win elections but it happens more on a local level .I am sure he would feel the same way about Jill Stein and probably Nader. I don't think he would have been a good president. But he generally on the right side of the issues. I am on facebook group the people who post there are pretty smart They are touting Jill Stein but there is no way she will win The certainly don't like Trump but they probably dislike Biden more for supporting geocide. They know that Trump would be supporting Israel But on the whole he would be so much worse for the country.
