      When you want power that bad there isn't exist such thing as bad/good, sincere/liar anymore... Trump himself is the main exponent of truth/lie. Also, if you get a seat at some of the State Rep. Houses, or even in the Hill, suddenly it is like you've just reachd Level GOD in the Game Of Trolls. The automatically have the I Don't Go to Jail in Poligamy... Eeergh... I mean, Monopoly. This is the game of politics, and since a clown was POTUS now the people of his party, instead of trying to go for the presidency without stole they prefer follow the path that ended with the Orande Clown ruling? The world; First they make a name Brin normal people. When they are known for the people of their County, they pass to step 3; they begin to act like if they would've been possessed by some kind of an alien that, as alien they are, they don't have a clue of how to behave without they have a mental age of 4.

    • @lawrencedoliveiro9104
      @lawrencedoliveiro9104 Рік тому +60

      Making every vote count the same is called “proportional representation”. It’s how voting works in Germany; the system was put in place after World War II to ensure that a dictator could never take power there again. And it worked so well, we here in NZ copied it.
      It does almost inevitably lead to coalition politics: you get a range of political parties in Parliament, none with a clear majority, so they need to figure out how to work together to get things done. But most of us see that as a feature, not a bug.
      Time for the US to give it a try?

    I NEEDED that U2 pun at the end. I want to preface this by saying, this is genuine, and not sarcasm. The pun was so predictable, I thought of something similar when I first saw the news clip, but I wondered who would have the courage to actually say it on late night. Then, like a hero, you came through. Thank you Seth Meyers, for being the predictable schlub we know you are. We love you for it.

      The Founding Fathers were some of the most progressive thinkers of their time. They would not be clinging to a 250-year old idea. If they somehow appeared today, they'd want to know where the hell the idea of progress in society went.
      From the Jefferson Memorial in DC:
      "I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind.
      As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times.
      We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."
