So the victim is democracy, the threat is political storytelling, the resolution is to question everything and the hero is you. Great storytelling.
Great comment.
woah
I wish to see more of this. The unseen side of politics, not favoring one side.
Policy was mentioned 0 times during this. Very telling.
aaaaaand this is why one should strive to cast a vote guided by intellect instead of some fuzzy feeling
The single best video I've seen at least this year. Fabulously filmed, outstanding content. Thanks NYT
He has very sad eyes. I guess all those decades as campaign strategist, he had seen too much and has too many regrets in his life.
This needed to be at least an hour long documentary. This was interesting.
From the comments it seemed this would be an amazing piece. What we got instead was information that majority of people already know, "story telling is immensely powerful." Ok? That's pretty obvious, and throughout history candidates have positioned their story and stance. In short, this is nothing new, I had high expectations.
plot twist: so this guy does have a moral compass after all.
I truly wish to be governor of my home Puerto Rico, I’ve been reading a whole bunch of books about history, politics, philosophy, military, economics, sociology, and psychology, I’m preparing greatly, and I’m only 14 years old.
And that folks is how we are led to do their bidding.
His comments about being uncomfortable opposing Obama was very refreshing. It's scary that a "story" convinces people to act in ways harmful to themselves -- I guess that's the power behind product advertising also (COUGH.. cigarettes). The truth about 2016 was that the Republicans told a story that convinced enough people to vote for Trump, and the Democrats failed to do the same for Clinton. The popular vote wasn't enough. Hillary needed the electoral collage and her campaign didn't deliver. That's why voter turnout is crucial to counteracting the massive ad campaigns. Sitting at home in protest is pretty much the same as voting for the winner.
Cheating also helps..
So this was the guy that f'ed us?
+Mike Verwer As an American I humbly agree with this statement (minus the bit about Trump). We only have ourselves as a whole to blame for elected officials. Until we learn to think for ourselves, do the research, learn what the candidates actually stand for, turn off the TV, read from an un-biased news source… we'll repeat the same mistakes and re-elect the same idiots over and over because they've got our number. Sometimes I sadly think voting should be a privilege that's earned instead of a given right.
Imagine how well this applies to a school election
one of the serious short-comings of representative democracy
At some point I thought I was watching a conspiracy theory piece from one of my favorite truther channels lol.
Took your advice
Won mine
so resourceful.
I am deputy secretary general to the united nation not because of my political skills, campaign or any of that because I bet there are a lot of people who had better political experience than myself but simply because I have what most unsuccessful politicians don't have "spiritual backing". If you don't have a spiritual backing then forget it, you will never be successful in politics
you mean religion?i sttill think that political skills are vital too..and you are correct faith is where spiritual backing comes in.
George Saunders gets a thank you credit?
great video, can anybody tell me the music:)
But ideology is all about building a narrative, too.
Deep
The thing is, it’s true.
chilling
Litton had the stories to become president and both Bushes would have lost if that man had lived to be 40.
Anyone know the name of the song/tune at 7:20?
I'm running for office in 2024
bernie for the win
His statements at the end make me think he thinks Bernie has the better story.
would it kill you people to deinterlace the stock footage? you're the nytimes for christsakes, that isnt showing the poor resolution of old footage, its digital artifacts from incorrect scanning of interlaced footage shown in a progressive scan format like youtube.
+villan I haven't the foggiest idea of what you're saying. Speak in plain English, s'il te plait :)
+Jerry Incandenza It was written in plain English. He said that the poor quality footage was actually better quality at source, and it just looks that way here because it was badly encoded by the NY Times.
Nothing wrong with that. It gives people a visual image of the people he's talking about.
How to spit on your lawn .
You should have regrets over Bush!!! Weapons of mass destruction 🤦🏼♀️
So he helped get bush elected and reelected but the state of modern politics is just too much? Gimme a break
Americans got and continue to be played like a fiddle.
94% out campaign's with more funds wins
TRUMP2016
i expect more from NYT honestly i have better political incites then this.
Thomas Headley omg i did not care about spelling commenting on youtube. yeah this proves that you are right and i am wrong sure.
+Thomas Headley haha! I totally agreed with you and get extremely frustrated with the way people communicate online.
So I know you will be amused at a little correction one could make to your comment above: likelihood. (I know, autocorrect.)
I have noticed that when I get uppity about other people's use of the language is when I find, too late, that I have made a mistake. Instant karma!
jaykay415 you mean like a run on sentence?
run-on sentence definition:
A grammatically faulty sentence in which two or more main or independent clauses are joined without a word to connect them or a punctuation mark to separate them: “The fog was thick he could not find his way home.”
So, no.
Listen, for me this isn't about anything you did as much as it is about how people in general use the language online and texting. It's just frustrating when I can't figure out what somebody is trying to say because they did not use punctuation or the spelling is all wrong. You are probably a lot younger and understand text-speak, so perhaps it's not frustrating for you. And I know this is not a scholarly essay.
Anyway, back to the video. I thought it was interesting. I appreciate pretty much every video the NYT puts out. I almost wonder if this guy is looking for redemption...
Your intuition about Obama didn't age well...🤮
