America is not a democracy, never was. A Nation's future should never hinge on the proclivities of any single person, voters on both sides are exactly the same. Both turn into triggered name calling fascists whenever someone challenges their beliefs and both accuse anyone who doesn't agree with their assigned talking points of supporting the other party. Thus the supporters of both parties have hijacked and sold out the rest of humanity for the sake of their own egos and lack of imagination And this is how they've controlled us from the dawn of the 20th Century, where they pit us against each other, seed the debate with misinformation, some populism, and some catchy epithets, and continue to go about their plunder unopposed. All representatives will always be subject to influence from moneyed interests, blackmail, or assassination. The solution is a Velvet Revolution to install a Scaled Direct Democracy, without representatives or politicians. Citizens initiated referendums with thresholds and a social contract using blockchain technology means communities can vote their own policies without politicians. *Thorium Energy renders their global oil monopoly obsolete.* *#VelvetRevolution* *#ScaledDirectDemocracy* *#ThoriumEnergy* Thorium energy can process both nuclear and toxic waste, as well as make salt water desalination and carbon sequestration economically viable. They can also power synthetic fuel manufacture for all forms of transport. Thorium reactors cannot be weaponized. "The thorium molten salt power plant can produce clean energy cheaper than coal, which could be a reliable energy system toward a low carbon economy" PAL said. www.reuters.com/article/us-indonesia-nuclearpower-idUSKCN1UD0D0 If the profits from American labour were shared equally as they are with corporate shareholders, every household would receive $700k annually. If we got even a fraction of that we would have more than enough to fund education, healthcare and infrastructure for everybody. 52% of all greenhouse gases come from methane produced by Beef farming, which is currently 90% subsidized. Ending Beef Communism and embracing Hemp and Kelp farming as Moonshot technologies for use in packaging, construction, manufacturing, medicines, insulation, and clothing could alleviate the worst of climate change, sequester carbon, revitalize crop land and restore depleted habitats. It would also be conducive to have an independent public authority drawing from volunteers to act as third party advocates for the public interest, with the authority to charge and prosecute bad actors and cops and prosecute them in our own courts. This would ensure both Government and Law Enforcement are held to the highest standards of etiquette, ethical conduct, and equality of outcome regardless of Creed Color, or Economic bracket.

Also I love that that snow effect is the basic After effects sparks and ember tweaked and desaturated. It, too, feels like a regular character on the show.
The writers of the tv show “United States of America” just seem to never agree, or at least feel their audience have very low attention spans. Though I feel their quality for this next season has really gone down.

Which is... great. Just... wonderful. Exactly what we need right now. (Seriously though, this was a great video. Your burning political rage has warmed my soul this holiday season, Cody. Thank you.)
The thing I find hilarious is Trump and the GOP tried to paint Biden as this extreme left progressive guy, as if no one would remember he is a centrist??? I mean its not surprising, but it just goes to show how short people's memory is...

45:45 this news literally upset me more than anything else you had mentioned beforehand My one (realistic) desire from politics after this godawful year ended and Biden was sworn in was for media to stop talking about Trump and giving him a legitimate platform, but even that's a luxury we're not getting
Come on, man. Trump is profitable. The democrats admitted in court that they rig their primaries. Trump as the boogeyman raised them so much money it’s unbelievable. Donna Brazille retired in disgrace from CNN when her emails were revealed, emails that showed she gave questions to Hillary Clinton shortly before a debate with Bernie. She now is a contributor at Fox News. Trump and his ilk are going nowhere. In fact, they’re on the rise. And guess what? The democrats want them to rise.
You know, one of my fantasies has always been to sing and harmonize with myself while doing so. Watching a sock puppet do this alone in juxtaposed against a Dickensian backdrop has made me realize how unnerving, and creepy that would be to do. Thank You SMN for pulling my back to the cold hard and harsh reality that we live in.

I'm glad they gave Warmbo the ad read in this one. Watching Cody do an ad read hurt my soul. It was like watching Bernie Sanders try to do an ad read.
The story of one man slowly losing his mind as he struggles to tell an uncaring nation about the shit that other news outlets aren't really drawing enough attention to.
o7 we salute you cody
I like how the puppet lisp makes it sounds like he's saying 'horrordays'.
The first thing I thought when I heard that Biden speech at the end (when it first released) was how much he sounded just like Trump, like he's suddenly a king now
First thing I thought was how nothing he said actually meant anything. It was literally all platitudes, slogans, and hyperbole.
Almost as if putting total power into a single person's hands is only going to appeal to psychopaths or something....
America is not a democracy, never was. A Nation's future should never hinge on the proclivities of any single person, voters on both sides are exactly the same. Both turn into triggered name calling fascists whenever someone challenges their beliefs and both accuse anyone who doesn't agree with their assigned talking points of supporting the other party. Thus the supporters of both parties have hijacked and sold out the rest of humanity for the sake of their own egos and lack of imagination
And this is how they've controlled us from the dawn of the 20th Century, where they pit us against each other, seed the debate with misinformation, some populism, and some catchy epithets, and continue to go about their plunder unopposed. All representatives will always be subject to influence from moneyed interests, blackmail, or assassination.
The solution is a Velvet Revolution to install a Scaled Direct Democracy, without representatives or politicians. Citizens initiated referendums with thresholds and a social contract using blockchain technology means communities can vote their own policies without politicians.

Thorium energy can process both nuclear and toxic waste, as well as make salt water desalination and carbon sequestration economically viable. They can also power synthetic fuel manufacture for all forms of transport. Thorium reactors cannot be weaponized.
"The thorium molten salt power plant can produce clean energy cheaper than coal, which could be a reliable energy system toward a low carbon economy" PAL said.

If the profits from American labour were shared equally as they are with corporate shareholders, every household would receive $700k annually. If we got even a fraction of that we would have more than enough to fund education, healthcare and infrastructure for everybody.
52% of all greenhouse gases come from methane produced by Beef farming, which is currently 90% subsidized. Ending Beef Communism and embracing Hemp and Kelp farming as Moonshot technologies for use in packaging, construction, manufacturing, medicines, insulation, and clothing could alleviate the worst of climate change, sequester carbon, revitalize crop land and restore depleted habitats.
It would also be conducive to have an independent public authority drawing from volunteers to act as third party advocates for the public interest, with the authority to charge and prosecute bad actors and cops and prosecute them in our own courts. This would ensure both Government and Law Enforcement are held to the highest standards of etiquette, ethical conduct, and equality of outcome regardless of Creed Color, or Economic bracket.

Thank you for explaining the intricacies of Biden and his cabinet, I don't think I would be able to ascertain (fully) what's going on without such a granular and striking presentation of facts. As always, thank you to you and your team
"Fashing through the snow" oh my god
Also I love that that snow effect is the basic After effects sparks and ember tweaked and desaturated. It, too, feels like a regular character on the show.
The unsettling Muppet work in this holiday special is at a level that the Happytime Murders wishes it could have reached.
I would have gone with Don't Hug Me I'm Scared
The post-filming "it seems congress agreed to $600" subtitle aged so fast, so fast
The writers of the tv show “United States of America” just seem to never agree, or at least feel their audience have very low attention spans. Though I feel their quality for this next season has really gone down.
Warmbo and future news dude are like the most amazing characters I’m so glad they keep making regular appearances
My wife said "That puppets voice will haunt my nightmares."
Everyone's hands look the same when they're covered in blood
Except wolverines
Maybe witty aphorisms will save us
"Biden is the Nut Master."
Why, Cody, why?
Because he is the master of nut. His rich whiteness will wash over everything.
Someone hasn't seen the McCain-RBG tweet
40 minutes into this, I realized that this video has absolutely no youtube ads.
Other youtube channels usually throw ads every 2 minutes.
OMG I love Warmbo and the way he goes from comedy prop to all powerful demon thing. Would love to see more Katy and more Warmbo in future episodes.
Always knew there was a bong on the side of the desk. All the hard cuts, the way Cody gets confounded by the paper stack...
Dammit Cody, I was JUST going to bed. Now I'll have to lay in bed thinking about the infinite possibilities of this very normal video.
“It stops when I say it stops” is somehow the perfect counter to Cody Curmudgeon
I can't honestly tell if you're joking or not...

daaaaaaaaash down the halls with presents and cake
Y'know, for a hot minute there I thought the muppet was Wormbo, a sentient intestinal parasite. Turns out it's Warmbo, a sentient penis in a bad toupee who somehow managed to fumble his way into WAY too much power, which he uses to push an insane, naïve agenda and terrorize those who didn't agree with him.
Which is... great.
Just... wonderful.
Exactly what we need right now.
(Seriously though, this was a great video. Your burning political rage has warmed my soul this holiday season, Cody. Thank you.)
“he isn’t just a straw man with my hand deep inside him” your a legend cody
Cody is actually a pretty solid ventriloquist
Yup
We sure that's not Katie?
I mean, how much can the Evil Villain bit be netting her anyway
i think it might be done in post
Thank you for making this video. We desperately need people calling out the reactionary evil that grips all of America's broken two-party system.
It is settled. I will be referring to him as Joe “the Nutmaster” Biden for the rest of time.
Joe "The cashew nut master" Biden
Fear the Nutmaster! Corn-Pop's Bane Approaches!
Please don’t.
The thing I find hilarious is Trump and the GOP tried to paint Biden as this extreme left progressive guy, as if no one would remember he is a centrist??? I mean its not surprising, but it just goes to show how short people's memory is...
Many Trump supporters think that not wanting to do corporate tax cuts makes you a communist.
“I didn’t want to shave for this bit” fucking killed me
You know, I was just thinking that not enough Skillshare ads are delivered in a grating puppet voice. I wasn't gonna sign up when Cody told me to, but this changes everything!
Cody, I haven't seen the video yet and im already so happy you brought us this much content throughout the year.
“Restoring the soul of this country” is a platform that never could have won???
And so progressive!
"Restoring the soul of this country" ≠ a platform.
It's - it's almost like he feels the country isn't as great as it should be. Like, maybe he wants to get some of that back. You know, like making the country great like it used to be, or something punchy like that.
Definitely nobody has tried anything like that before, for sure.
"Restoring the Soul of this country" is just the lame ass version of Make America Great Again. It has the same sentiment and also means nothing.
Pretty Christmasy slogan, isn't it?
cody's gotten so good at ventriloquism i didn't even realize he was voicing warmbo until he was holding him on-screen
20 minutes in and I literally haven't laughed this hard for a year. A whole fucking year. I can feel my heart beating again. Jesus. Thank you cody

*Edit* I'm only 4 minutes in and this is already perfect.
45:45 this news literally upset me more than anything else you had mentioned beforehand
My one (realistic) desire from politics after this godawful year ended and Biden was sworn in was for media to stop talking about Trump and giving him a legitimate platform, but even that's a luxury we're not getting
Come on, man. Trump is profitable. The democrats admitted in court that they rig their primaries. Trump as the boogeyman raised them so much money it’s unbelievable. Donna Brazille retired in disgrace from CNN when her emails were revealed, emails that showed she gave questions to Hillary Clinton shortly before a debate with Bernie. She now is a contributor at Fox News. Trump and his ilk are going nowhere. In fact, they’re on the rise. And guess what? The democrats want them to rise.
@@The_Gnome_Chomskee The democrats dont want Trump to rise, they just want bernie to fall
You know, one of my fantasies has always been to sing and harmonize with myself while doing so. Watching a sock puppet do this alone in juxtaposed against a Dickensian backdrop has made me realize how unnerving, and creepy that would be to do. Thank You SMN for pulling my back to the cold hard and harsh reality that we live in.

Holy moly. "Fascing through the snow"? Definitely taking that one. Thank you.
Celebrate the good stuff while not forgetting about all the work that needs to be done. I don’t think there could have been a better summation of what’s going on right now.
Fun fact about the star wars holiday special that is fitting to the tone of this video. The characters introduced in it are canon in the new eu. However, during the time of the holiday special, Kashyyk was being environmentally devastated and Chewbacca's family- Mala and Lumpy were enslaved by the Empire. Not this cheery bullshit, but the hard reality of a fascist regime born from the failures of a liberal democracy
