@@mkklassicmk3895 RIGGED I TELL YOU! RIGGED! (yes, i just ignoring the question to make sure to yell and pressure you to accept what ever opinion i have) IT RIGGED!
It was pretty telling last time that not a single Republican plaintiff in anyone of those lawsuits would testify under oath that there was fraud and evidence of fraud existed, but would continue the lie the minute they were out of the court room.
so how did you get hold of sealed court records that only the supreme court can edict to be released? we the americvan people want to know the 34 felony charges trump is guilty of in new york
What was more telling is the fact that most of the lawyers filing those lawsuits were sanctioned, disbarred and/or indicted. So, it’ll be interesting to see who is stupid enough to file cases like that again-because anyone who wasn’t part of it last time is going to have some really good examples for why they shouldn’t be doing things like that.
My mom illegally voted using my ballot in the primaries while I was overseas. The county caught the signature discrepancy and emailed me, and I was able to void the ballot. And this was in CALIFORNIA, one of the bluest states! Our checks and balances WORK!!!
@@ectothermicI thought about reporting her, she technically committed a felony, but she’s unlikely to have the opportunity to do it again, and she’d also know it was me and 1000% come after me for it😅
The really frightening thing is that they are making ridiculously offensive public remarks and maintaining an unapologetic, cavalier attitude that suggests they are sufficiently confident that they no longer need to appeal to the electorate in order to secure power.
To be fair, they have all the electorate they need to secure power. The police, military, and civilians with guns are all on their side and they are very openly excited about holding power via political violence.
Both my parents are lifelong Republicans in FL, and neither are voting for Trump this election. I am also a registered Republican in NC, and I will be voting all blue 💙 this time. It is my belief that the Republican party needs to be handed a loss so severe that they never flirt with wannabe dictators like Trump ever again. It's time to cut out the rot!
Agreed. A viable opposition party has a place in any healthy democracy. But one that still reflects the values of democracy and puts forward competent leaders. I don't agree with everything Mitt Romney or John McCain stood for, but they were viable political leaders

If the electoral college delivers this country to Donald Trump, I hope whoever rebuilds on the smoking ruins of America knows better than to put such a clownish mechanism into their new constitution.
@@CPAgamer313Republicans represent only 33-40% of the country, its pure lunacy they can wield power over the other 2/3rds. There's nothing even about it
@@angelainamarie9656 The mechanism wasn't clownish at the time. Back during the original colonies the population was mostly in the North. So if a candidate for President was from the north the odds of them winning was almost assured. The electoral college was created to somewhat balance that out. There are other reasons why it was formed up to and including the fact that learning about a candidate wasn't as easy as it is now. Resulting in plenty of people who voted having no idea about the person. The rep in the college was expected to be informed. It really wasn't until the 1900's where the rep in the college was expected to follow the guidelines of the popular vote in their state. Short of it is: Its a system that needs to go the #(*$&^ away. It's archaic, and open to massive abuse. 2020 there were a few states who kicked around the idea of kicking the electors out and installing their own. Which would have been well within their rights depending on the state.
A Supreme Court packed with unelected officials appointed by a President who lost the popular vote has ruled to allow 1,600 fewer people to vote in Virginia. Never saw that one coming.
Bro. We don't use a popular vote to elect a President. We use a popular vote to get a statewide tally - which then goes to an electorate for a proportional vote. Those votes are tallied, then sent to Congress to be certified. Those Judges are nominated by the President and certified by Congress. Free civics course.
Conservative path to success in politics for at least my entire lifetime. 1. Claim government is broken. 2. Break government. 3. Claim only they can fix what they broke. 4. Count on conservatives who don't pay attention to carry them to victory. This has been disturbingly effective in America.
My parents keep trying to claim 2020 was stolen, but when I try to explain to them what the Republicans are doing now they usually say "Well they're just fighting back". Cognitive dissonance manifested in two angry, tired and ignorant people.

@@jondoef You make Judge into a normal career path where they get hired instead of elected, and make judges beholden to review boards with strict bipartisan ethics guidelines. It's not without it's own risks, but frankly I'm not seeing that the current system has much going for it. Ideally you also remove some of a judges power to legislate by setting precedent, to minimize the draw for people making political action, and move towards a system based on satutory law more than case law. And whoops, you've switched to a Civil Law legal system. 😅
It's easy because they simply lie that they are not biased. Even though all proof points otherwise The biggest problem is that they are appointed for life, they can take bribes and that they can be as broken as they want to be and nothing can be done

Ironically the evidence towards trump's legal persecution is flase and doesn't matter, but the complete lack of evidence for rigged election is suddenly proof of fraud. Bunch of cornballs
Or at least brought over to social media, you know. For someone like Trump to not post everything on Fox is already quite telling that he just doesn't have it

It baffles me that in the UK our votes are counted and nearly every count finalised before people sit down for their breakfast the following day, without needing voting machines or ballot scanners. Yes there are a lot more voters in the US but that just means they need more people counting. Lawsuits challenging election results and politicians crying foul are practically unheard of here.
Donald Trump's bid for the presidency is a testament to the abject spinelessness embodying the GOP. "Accountability for thee, but not the pathetic domestic terrorist bronze-faced crybaby." If you vote Donald Trump, you're a disgrace. Full stop.
as someone who was a Trump Supporter (but not Voter) in 2016, i agree, we didn't know he would be that bad back then and those who don't agree and don't change ether liked it or are destructively ignorant note: i didn't support Trump because i liked him but because i hated Clinton more
As a Pennsylvanian, our ballots are definitely weird. If you don't put the ballot in the inner envelope, it's called a naked ballot and it doesn't count. If you don't sign and/or date the outer envelope it doesn't count. If you do sign the actual ballot, it doesn't count. There's probably a dozen more things I'm forgetting.
That's not how it works silly here I fixed it If you don't put it into the inner envelope and you vote Democrat it's called a naked ballot and becomes invalid If you vote republican they just put it in the envelope for you and its a regular vote
I was just looking on the Illinois website (was looking up what to do if ballot didn't turn up since had mailed it Sunday) and their FAQ specifically said it's okay if you forget to put it inside the secrecy envelope as long as you still include the signed certification card. The inner envelope is only to keep your ballot secret and since it serves no other purpose, they count the ballot like any other once the signature card is verified. BTW, ballot has now arrived and waiting on certification step.
Mail in ballots need to prove they are from a real voter and cast by that real voter (out envelope). The actual vote needs to be anonymous (inner envelope).
I'm not even American! I have no control over this. But I think we're all a little obsessed because this is a historical election -- the outcome will affect the entire world. It's terrifying.

Thankfully it's not actually half. A massive misconception is that the country is evenly split between the two parties, when the reality is that those two parties make up about half put together. If we weren't subject to this principle of battlegrounds and strongholds due to the electoral college, or if we had a ranked choice voting system in effect, these races wouldn't look nearly so tight
@@JustHakori Yeah, I know it's less than half but it's close enough to round it up and be fairly accurate. And I would love a more representative way to vote, whether it be rank choice or another system. Unfortunately, the tribal two-party system is what we have, and it leaves us with many people accepting him as their choice. On that note, I guess we will find out next week how many are willing to go along for the ride. After all, whether they are 100% behind him doesn't matter if they vote for him.
@@Nikola_MIt's frustrating. Since 1988 the Republican party has only won a single election with the popular vote (Bush in 2004). The Electoral College has become a participation trophy award for a antiquated party with antiquated policies that knows they don't even need to run a competent campaign to win. The Trump shitshow alone is proof.
Oh man that night was hilarious... the news outlets showed the side by side of the MI trumpers saying stop the count and in AZ they said keep counting... what do these clowns want ??
They want to rule with an iron fist regardless of whether they actually win. And they want to hurt everyone who isn't them, even if they ruin their own lives in the process.
It’s crazy that I’m only hearing about the election interference case from Bush just now. And to think that we wouldn’t have had a Bush presidency in 2000 if people’s votes were properly counted. Why is this not taught in schools?
Ya know what else is crazy that Liz didn't mention? The lawyers involved in the 2000 Bush win were Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch (among others). Their appointment to SCOTUS was the reward from the Republican party.
I wasn’t old enough to vote in 2000, but I was old enough to follow what went on. I’m paranoid to this day about correctly filling out my ballot. I’m extremely careful to fully fill in the bubble and not have even a tiny mark outside it. I don’t want my vote not counted because of a tiny smudge from the marker.
She glossed over the fact that they Supreme Court decided 9-0 and 7-2 that the recount Gore was asking for was not giving equal rights to the whole state by only looking at undervotes in 3 blue counties vs looking at undervotes in the whole state. 5-4 vote was just to stop the count, but the counting as it was being done was also wrong.
Dump the electoral college and make the winner of the popular vote the president. It's a no-brainer. The person that more people want elected should win.
Another thing about the red mirage/blue shift, it's not just about mail in votes leaning more dem but also the fact that dems tend to live in districts with more people and thus end up having more votes that need to be counted before they get reported. It's just an odd quirk about where people live and what party they affiliate with.
It's also just that Republicans literally told their voters not to use mail ins, because they wanted to create this dramatic shift. The stop the steal campaign started way, way before the election.
It depends on the equipment used. Over the years I've voted in person in my county and used all sorts of equipment. Starting with ballots that were dropped in a box to be taken to a county warehouse to be counted - possibly taking overnight. Then we started using onsite tabulators, which also warned about over/under votes and where an entire ballot could be recalled to be spoiled and recast if the voter didn't approve a final acceptance of the ballot. Then touch screen machines (which were programmed to eliminate overvotes and ask if an undervote was intentional) but where the ballot went to a central tabulation center. Then back to preprinted ballots, but going to central tabulation. It's really hard to figure out because cities and counties generally decide how their elections are going to be run and how they count ballots. Except maybe in some states like Georgia where the state provides all the equipment and has specific requirements that the counties are bound to follow.

I feel like you haven't met... well, *anyone* who voted for Trump. Seen online, maybe. That said, I live in America, and have seen and met many people like you've described, but far more who aren't remotely like that. It depends on where you live, and where you're looking. Social media/the media in general is where you find a concentrated dumpster of the fragile sycophants, but many who vote for Trump do so on one or two (for them) paramount issues. And most of those people abhor him as a person.

Usually you'd like electoral voters to abide by the election results, but in this case I would hope that they have enough conscience that they would go against the will of Republican voters and vote for Democrats to prevent a possible Christo-Fascist takeover.
As a Floridian, whom most local people I've talked to that mentioned their political beliefs are Trump supporters, I understand better and better the reality that most of his supporters have nearly no idea what reality *is*. So many things I hear constantly that are just blatantly untrue. The people aren't bad people, most of them just have no idea what's true and how certain things work. Both sides believe the other has no bearing on reality, but one side backs up their facts with actual data and the other uses Facebook posts.

The electoral college is an important check/balance intentionally built into the law which the left has wanted removed for ages - because it denies them their long-sought oligarchy.

I have had numerous interactions with those sisters up at the Mount through my life. while I no longer consider myself religious, they are the bar I hold the faithful to. the most humble and righteous folk I have ever known

OOOOOHHH, I see it now. It takes some binary thinking on their part.
The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is closer to succeeding and is functionally the same as eliminating the Electoral College, without actually elimating it. All it does is ensure that at least 270 Electoral College votes go towards the popular vote winner. Remember - Electoral College votes don't actually have to go to the winner of each state's general election.
The problem with abolishing the electoral college is that it would create a worse situation, where the largest cities would essentially control the entire election and 90% of the rest of the US would not be heard, at all. Politicians would ignore all of rural America in favor of the 5-8 largest cities. This is a problem because the needs and wants of every region, state, city are VASTLY different. The electoral college is by far a flawed system, but getting rid of it completely would cause more problems than it solves.
That’s how it SHOULD be done. But apparently not. We’ve devolved to a state where the people’s vote might not matter. Which frankly should get the idiots responsible for getting us here (the Republican Traitor party) life in prison

If you're going to require hand-counting of votes, you need to staff up. I've worked as a poll clerk a couple times in Canada, where we hand count all the votes. My polling station usually has around 300 votes cast - enough that I can hand count the votes pretty quickly after the polls close, and then swap with someone else to double-check their count as they double-check mine. Voting ends at 9pm, and we all go home at 10:30pm with all the counting done and verified. When I hear stories out of the US like this, I can't help but wonder just how meager the funding for staff is, that it would take 6 months to do something a competent elections committee should be able to do in under 2 hours. Edit: Apparently the reason hand counting takes so long in the US is because federal elections there are multiple-contest. You need to vote for a bunch of different races on a single ballot. I've only ever hand-counted single contest ballots.
Your experience counting 300 votes with two people means as much to this as a two year old saying they can fly a 787 Dreamliner. Have you ever tried hand counting over 100,000 votes, with a minimum of 3 people all resulting in IDENTICAL counts or you start over? No? Nothing even in that same realm of reality? Then you have no idea the difficulty involved in the nonsense that is American hand counts. There is no “staffing up”. Everyone counting has to count every single vote. Having 20 people counting just means you need 20 people to end with identical counts (an impossibility). By the way, the average age of counting poll workers is around 65. Because you almost have to be retired to be able to randomly spend weeks and months working on this for less than minimum wage.

@@hoodiestickscompletely agree. Saskatchewan just had its general election. I was rolling my eyes at the CBCs reporting on it. They were whining live on air about having stay up past their bedtimes “why can’t we have voting machines this takes sooo long”. These same people spent 30 minutes arguing in favour of mail in ballots that take days or weeks to count. 🤦♂️ Fortunately enough seats were confirmed to call the election around 11:30pm Having to wait upwards of a week to find out the results is wild.
This is the effect of electing party political affiliated candidates to positions in the police and judiciary. In the perfect world, electors should have enough education in civics to understand the importance of separation for powers and should not be electing politically active candidates to police or court positions.
I'm 59 and am sooooooooo ready for sanity and rational people to lead our country for the next 100,000 years. Can Trump just go to prison for 3,000,000 years already?

Nitpick: around 5:30, the story on screen does not say what the voiceover is saying. A 40% increase in early voting does not mean 40% of all voters are voting early.
Here in North Carolina they are reporting that 50% of eligible voters had already voted by last Tuesday at Noon... I voted Tuesday afternoon and we still had 4 early voting days after that. I think we will have a record turnout in NC.

@@Adyen11234 LOL, indeed. Although actually most poll workers are volunteers, mostly retirees, who get paid a nominal $20-30 a day, so its not actually that expensive, does need some funding, but how much do those machines cost? Paper Ballots are always more secure too. Also helps that we have clear and consistent rules set out by an Independent National Electoral Commission so you don't have eg. 3 different ways to vote in 3 different Counties in the same State, let alone nationally, And because voting is compulsory there is no motivation to disenfranchise people.
How can the Supreme Court allow Virginia to purge voter rolls so close to elections? Are there remedies for these voters that have been removed, and if so, is there enough time for the remedies to be taken? What happens if the Americans citizens that are legally allowed to vote are unable to vote because of these purges? Will there be legal path for these disenfranchised citizens to sue the State, the Republican Party, the Secretary of State, the Supreme Court? Thanks.
Voters who were affected that are supposed to be able to vote have already been reinstated according to some articles. Also, this purge was started like 3 months ago but has faced these legal problems since then. From what I’ve seen, most of the purge was affecting people who, on actual documentation, actually identified themselves as not being citizens, but mistakes can still be made
@@christopherporto3902 Thats good, but that would put them into the provisional section of ballots, which is what this video was describing. The provisional ballots are the last to be counted and would also be contested for eligibility if the election is close, as it was done in 2000 (Bush v. Gore). Thanks for response.
The supreme court can do pretty much whatever it wants. It was this very court just four years ago that said you can't make changes to an election but someone must have slipped Thomas another R.V. and they changed their minds again.
I'm a volunteer poll worker in my country and I'm always amazed how overly complicated voting and everything around it seems to be in the US. Yes, it is a big job but it is all doable if well organized and funded and enough people are doing the work (e.g. we have 6-8 people in one polling station that has about 1200 people on the voter rolls but usually it's only 500-700 ballots to count, we count by hand and depending on the election it takes a few hours or up to 3 days).
I feel bad. The rest of the world is watching us try to avoid fumbling. And we are failing them, ourselves and failing human decency. Our Nation may as well be trash canned if Trump wins.
It blows my mind that you can walk around in the US and have people unironically supporting trump. I would feel so upset being surrounded by losers who vote for him

@@angelainamarie9656 The mechanism wasn't clownish at the time. Back during the original colonies the population was mostly in the North. So if a candidate for President was from the north the odds of them winning was almost assured. The electoral college was created to somewhat balance that out. There are other reasons why it was formed up to and including the fact that learning about a candidate wasn't as easy as it is now. Resulting in plenty of people who voted having no idea about the person. The rep in the college was expected to be informed. It really wasn't until the 1900's where the rep in the college was expected to follow the guidelines of the popular vote in their state. Short of it is: Its a system that needs to go the #(*$&^ away.

As a Pennsylvanian, our ballots are definitely weird. If you don't put the ballot in the inner envelope, it's called a naked ballot and it doesn't count. If you don't sign and/or date the outer envelope it doesn't count. If you do sign the actual ballot, it doesn't count. There's probably a dozen more things I'm forgetting.
Complication trap.
That's not how it works silly here I fixed it
If you don't put it into the inner envelope and you vote Democrat it's called a naked ballot and becomes invalid
If you vote republican they just put it in the envelope for you and its a regular vote
That's sounds a lot how voting via mail works in Germany. Voting in person is much easier though.
I was just looking on the Illinois website (was looking up what to do if ballot didn't turn up since had mailed it Sunday) and their FAQ specifically said it's okay if you forget to put it inside the secrecy envelope as long as you still include the signed certification card. The inner envelope is only to keep your ballot secret and since it serves no other purpose, they count the ballot like any other once the signature card is verified.
BTW, ballot has now arrived and waiting on certification step.
Mail in ballots need to prove they are from a real voter and cast by that real voter (out envelope). The actual vote needs to be anonymous (inner envelope).

I legit had to make sure I was watching a video from 2024 and not 2020..
Or 2016
It’s crazy that I’m only hearing about the election interference case from Bush just now. And to think that we wouldn’t have had a Bush presidency in 2000 if people’s votes were properly counted. Why is this not taught in schools?
You're asking the good questions.
Ya know what else is crazy that Liz didn't mention? The lawyers involved in the 2000 Bush win were Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch (among others). Their appointment to SCOTUS was the reward from the Republican party.
I wasn’t old enough to vote in 2000, but I was old enough to follow what went on. I’m paranoid to this day about correctly filling out my ballot. I’m extremely careful to fully fill in the bubble and not have even a tiny mark outside it. I don’t want my vote not counted because of a tiny smudge from the marker.
(Cuz so many textbooks are printed in Texas 🤪)
She glossed over the fact that they Supreme Court decided 9-0 and 7-2 that the recount Gore was asking for was not giving equal rights to the whole state by only looking at undervotes in 3 blue counties vs looking at undervotes in the whole state.
5-4 vote was just to stop the count, but the counting as it was being done was also wrong.
Dump the electoral college and make the winner of the popular vote the president. It's a no-brainer. The person that more people want elected should win.
Another thing about the red mirage/blue shift, it's not just about mail in votes leaning more dem but also the fact that dems tend to live in districts with more people and thus end up having more votes that need to be counted before they get reported. It's just an odd quirk about where people live and what party they affiliate with.
It's also just that Republicans literally told their voters not to use mail ins, because they wanted to create this dramatic shift.
The stop the steal campaign started way, way before the election.
It depends on the equipment used. Over the years I've voted in person in my county and used all sorts of equipment. Starting with ballots that were dropped in a box to be taken to a county warehouse to be counted - possibly taking overnight. Then we started using onsite tabulators, which also warned about over/under votes and where an entire ballot could be recalled to be spoiled and recast if the voter didn't approve a final acceptance of the ballot. Then touch screen machines (which were programmed to eliminate overvotes and ask if an undervote was intentional) but where the ballot went to a central tabulation center. Then back to preprinted ballots, but going to central tabulation.
It's really hard to figure out because cities and counties generally decide how their elections are going to be run and how they count ballots. Except maybe in some states like Georgia where the state provides all the equipment and has specific requirements that the counties are bound to follow.

The fix for this insanity is to abolish the electoral college.

All it does is ensure that at least 270 Electoral College votes go towards the popular vote winner. Remember - Electoral College votes don't actually have to go to the winner of each state's general election.

The problem with abolishing the electoral college is that it would create a worse situation, where the largest cities would essentially control the entire election and 90% of the rest of the US would not be heard, at all. Politicians would ignore all of rural America in favor of the 5-8 largest cities. This is a problem because the needs and wants of every region, state, city are VASTLY different. The electoral college is by far a flawed system, but getting rid of it completely would cause more problems than it solves.

They're unfortunately not uncommon.
If you're going to require hand-counting of votes, you need to staff up.
I've worked as a poll clerk a couple times in Canada, where we hand count all the votes. My polling station usually has around 300 votes cast - enough that I can hand count the votes pretty quickly after the polls close, and then swap with someone else to double-check their count as they double-check mine. Voting ends at 9pm, and we all go home at 10:30pm with all the counting done and verified.
When I hear stories out of the US like this, I can't help but wonder just how meager the funding for staff is, that it would take 6 months to do something a competent elections committee should be able to do in under 2 hours.
Edit: Apparently the reason hand counting takes so long in the US is because federal elections there are multiple-contest. You need to vote for a bunch of different races on a single ballot. I've only ever hand-counted single contest ballots.
We have one tenth of the US population. If housewives of American unite, they outnumber us 2 to 1.
Your experience counting 300 votes with two people means as much to this as a two year old saying they can fly a 787 Dreamliner. Have you ever tried hand counting over 100,000 votes, with a minimum of 3 people all resulting in IDENTICAL counts or you start over? No? Nothing even in that same realm of reality? Then you have no idea the difficulty involved in the nonsense that is American hand counts.
There is no “staffing up”. Everyone counting has to count every single vote. Having 20 people counting just means you need 20 people to end with identical counts (an impossibility).
By the way, the average age of counting poll workers is around 65. Because you almost have to be retired to be able to randomly spend weeks and months working on this for less than minimum wage.

How can the Supreme Court allow Virginia to purge voter rolls so close to elections? Are there remedies for these voters that have been removed, and if so, is there enough time for the remedies to be taken?

Will there be legal path for these disenfranchised citizens to sue the State, the Republican Party, the Secretary of State, the Supreme Court? Thanks.
Voters who were affected that are supposed to be able to vote have already been reinstated according to some articles. Also, this purge was started like 3 months ago but has faced these legal problems since then. From what I’ve seen, most of the purge was affecting people who, on actual documentation, actually identified themselves as not being citizens, but mistakes can still be made

@@christopherporto3902 Thats good, but that would put them into the provisional section of ballots, which is what this video was describing.

The supreme court can do pretty much whatever it wants. It was this very court just four years ago that said you can't make changes to an election but someone must have slipped Thomas another R.V. and they changed their minds again.
I'm a volunteer poll worker in my country and I'm always amazed how overly complicated voting and everything around it seems to be in the US. Yes, it is a big job but it is all doable if well organized and funded and enough people are doing the work (e.g. we have 6-8 people in one polling station that has about 1200 people on the voter rolls but usually it's only 500-700 ballots to count, we count by hand and depending on the election it takes a few hours or up to 3 days).

I would feel so upset being surrounded by losers who vote for him
@@Dan55888the same way Germans unironically supported Hitler
Not an American so I can say this confidently, very few of us blame (non-Trumpist) Americans for the state of the country right now. We all feel just as scared, uncertain, and powerless as you do. Stay strong and keep fighting, we’re rooting for you guys. Love from your sister nation 🇺🇸🇨🇦 💙💙💙
The rest of the world finds your elections hilarious. Both your options are equally bad in the same way but you can’t see it
@@bossdoss6027you can’t be both siding this bruv, candidates are nowhere near equivalent
Considering all this, i'm amazed the US has the gall to call themselves a democracy
WE DON'T DUNCE CAP WE ARE A REPUBLIC PROTECTED BY A CONSTITUTION SMDH EDUCATE YOURSELF
Not just a Democracy, THE Democracy! Greatest in the world, in history even! Nobody does democracy like they do, everybody is envious of their marvellous democracy. "American experiment" and all that. 🙄
According to those rs who like to play with semantics, "we were never a democracy, we were a republic." 🙄 give me a break. Rules as written vs rules as intended my guy.

Naw, it's not even RAW. Democracy and Republic are not mutually exclusive terms. People like the first reply in this thread are just idiots.
And Harris was never voted on to be a presidential nominee XD.
Please give us a post election part 2 from Liz. This is great and detailed.
8:13 I was NOT expecting a Sound of Music Clip in today's episode, but I'm absolutely here for it
Im a republican in Louisiana and it’s just sad how many people blindly follow trump and can’t even name 1 of his policy’s.
Voter ignorance is a much larger and more difficult problem than just trump voters.
I am not american and it seems to be a issue with only having 2 choices where its win or loose where i am from there are many diferent parties and they have to firm a coalition to rule this prevents extremes
But but He tells it like it is!! But but Good at business!
The electoral college is soooooo duuuuuuuumb
Yeah. It definitely needs to go.
Yup. Popular vote is all we need. It literally equates to what the American people want. More importantly, it makes your vote COUNT.
Well it the US is a democratic republic, not just a democracy, therefore popular vote isn’t all we need
@@joshsmith8715 No rule that says a Republic needs an electoral college 👍🏻
@@joshsmith8715it is literally all we need and every argument to the contrary is that "but conservatives will never win again if that's the case!" Good. 33% of the country should never be so overrepresented as to exact it's will on the other 2/3rds. We are functionally being held hostage by the least educated percentile.
The fact the Supreme Court can pick the president over the people is absolutely terrifying

Thanks. I have limited time to check out this video so time stamps really help me 🙏
This is the scariest Halloween in a while
Trump is the sorest loser. Vote this clown down so strongly even he can't lie his way out of it.
That is, unfortunately, impossible. If he loses by a little, he'll say that it's voter fraud. If he loses by a landslide, he'll say it's voter fraud. If he loses by a middling amount, believe it or not, voter fraud. And his supporters will run with it, enact violence on his behalf when he calls for it, and he'll run again in 2028 if he's still alive and we'll be back in the exact same position.
Hillary was a far sorer loser then Trump ever was
Correction at 8:30 - it’s disinformation not misinformation. misinformation refers to false information that is not intended to cause harm. disinformation refers to false information that is intended to manipulate, cause damage and guide people, organizations and countries in the wrong direction.
I’m sorry. This makes me so anxious I can’t even watch it. I’m 67 years old and for the first time in my life, I am afraid of an election.
Only 34 and i feel the same. Ive seen nothing but hate, lies, and divisiveness every election for as long as i can remember and each election year just seems worse than the last.
That subtle answer about who picks fights with nuns was amazing.
Now is the time for all Americans to stand together against the dictator. before its too late.
the time to act was anytime during the last 4 years. The fact the dems are even playing this game and giving him a second chance at a dictatorship is absurd.
Should have been arrested and put in a box on jan 7th., hell he cant even constitutionally hold office after the crap he pulled.
The current dictator announced he's not running again. Now we get to choose between two other dictators, both of whom has been in office before. Not a great choice really.
@@unyieldingsarcasm2505 Yeah, the 14th Amendment was created to protect against people like him. 6/9 SCOTUS are bought and sold.
@@username7763 Biden and Kamala don't support Putin and Kim, the current leading dictators of the world.
@@username7763 Biden is not even close to a dictator, neither is Harris, nor has she held the office of president before.
wtf are you on about
Something needs to be done about the supreme courts bias and corruption
