I can't stand Tim when he talks about serious topics. He sounds like a uninformed teenager
he talks with a lot of pretense
i generally agree with this however the topic is a specific event (the debate) and he clearly watched it and has developed an opinion on what he saw.
His strat seems to be compensating for lack of knowledge with intensity and passion.
I thought he did very well in this topic. Is he ever going to be as adamant as Colin or as informed as Colin? No, probably not, but he sounded much better informed in this political discussion than in past ones. Keep up the good work Tim!
+Ruff His opinion stems from the fact that there has to be some kind of clear "winner" and "loser" and "the lesser of two evils." It wasn't that annoying because I don't know enough about politics to have an engaging conversation so hearing Colin and Danny sometimes went over my head, but I liked that they sound like they know more than I do. Hearing Tim is like hearing myself talk about politics.. which is only repeating what I've already heard or been told that I don't know much about.
Hillary Clinton doesn't need your money, Greg. Wall Street has her well taken care of.
along with qutar and Saudi Arabia
who is more pro wall street than Donald Trump? he wants the biggest corporate tax cuts in history, he wants even bigger tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. he's the dream guy if u're part of the wealthy elite.
and trump doesn't?
Tyler Smith he got his money from his daddy
When he said he donated, I couldnt help but chuckle thinking of greg standing shoulder to shoulder with our corporate overlords.
I respect Tim, but I think Hillary's criticism doesn't have anything to do with her being a woman. More so her just being a slimy person. However, Trump is way worse and she is lucky the GOP is in such disarray that they nominated Trump.
Elizabeth Warren alone is a highly respected woman politician that doesn't have the bad decisions. Now Warren hasn't been around as long, but she is a woman and the progressive base wanted her to run this year.
Tbh it hasn't been a great year for women in politics. (Merkel and Rousseff)
I think people are a lot _harsher_ on Hillary because she is a woman. Imagine if there was a _female_ candidate who was overweight, completely unqualified, mouthy, racist, homophobic, bigoted and anti-science. I feel like she wouldn't have even gotten past the qualifying stage. This is even more highlighted by the fact the large majority of every single group of the electorate other than straight white males is currently polling against Trump (unless I'm misremembering) - they can see this clear bias.
Consciously, maybe not. Subconsciously? I think there's a bit of that there.
I know quite a few women at my workplace that are only voting Hillary simply because she is also a woman.
When you start to base political suitability on whether or not the candidate has a vagina, you've lost any semblance of worth in society.
I mean seriously? To vote for a candidate because you share certain physical attributes is such a shallow and vapid mindset to have.
Policies, agendas, and track record mean so much more than whether you have a salami or shaved roast beef in your fucking pants.
Only listen to Colin for this one.
That's the problem I have about these topics. I don't know much about a lot of the things Colin knows, least of which is politics, but Colin obviously knows something about it and the others (excluding Danny) clearly don't. So what we get is a topic of Colin just loving hearing himself talk, Greg throwing in some dumb joke to stay relevant, and Tim saying... words....
I'm sorry, but if I wanted to actually learn something about politics, I'd turn to a verified source and not these guys
I 100% agree. The others besides maybe Danny look lost and misinformed about anything political. Tim is the worst because he literally shakes his head NO every time Colin mentioned Trump's name. Like ok you don't like Trump, but bring some information about why he is worse than Clinton besides memes, gifs and tweets.
Um, no, not really. Only listen to Colin if you want infuriatingly one-sided opinions. To hear Colin say he would vote for Trump over Clinton (if he had to) is completely mind-numbingly ridiculous that I honestly don't even know how to respond. He refuses to let go of some asinine hatred for Clinton that flies in the face of facts and common sense. And he's able to say -- with a straight face -- that he'd vote for Trump. Trump: the man that lies to the people's faces, is a racist, a bigot, a sexist, that tweets at 3 a.m. about how an ex-beauty queen was fat. And he'd vote for him to be the leader of the United States. Anyone who agrees with this is just insane; there's no other word for it. Open your eyes. Seriously.This is fucking terrifying. It's not a joke, it's not funny. It's not. If you can say Hillary Clinton is worst than Trump than you have a dumb fucking opinion and you shouldn't be taken seriously.
Jonathan Glover triggered
That's good -- reply to a comment with a cool buzzword. Good job.
Colin knows what he is saying
Alex Garcia he always does ... 😂😂💪🏼
Id say he does. #letgarydebate
His vote isn't so much in support of Johnson more than it is he dislikes Trump and Clinton so much. I'm in the same situation.
No - He was incredibly off base on many issues.
I think he's incredibly smart, but lets his political ideology get in the way of his objectivity.
"Aleppo"?
I'm an avid Trump supporter. Tim, you came off as a child. You don't understand him at all do to your cognitive dissonance.
+RUclips Content due* - Tim
RUclips Content I wouldn't say he came off as a child, but I do feel that like most people he truly believes that Trump is an evil dude, but it's completely far off. It just bothers me that people will choose a criminal, who has gotten people directly and indirectly killed over someone who says mean things. It's like giving your child to a babysitter who is a convicted sex offender because the other babysitter has said mean things.
That's a stretch of an argument to make. Just to make my stance clear, I'm not a US citizen and from the outside looking in, like most of the world I think you're stuck between a rock and a hard place as I dislike both candidates. Firstly before you go accusing someone of being a cause of death you should have some evidence to back it up, from the cursory research I've done there is zero evidence that Hillary has caused any deaths either directly or indirectly from her personal actions, anything that has said otherwise has either been conjecture or pure conspiracy. I think there are things that she needs to answer for but I don't put it on anywhere near the level of knowingly leaving your child with a convicted sex offender. On the topic of Trump, I think he's an egotistical, arrogant arsehole and somewhat out of touch with reality but I neither think he's evil or an idiot but saying that, I also don't think he has the capabilities of being a leader of a (some would say THE) world power, if not for anything else then that NO ONE outside of the US that has any sort of power likes or respects him and 99% of the world thinks he's a massive joke. Though saying that I ruled out choosing a preference based on personality a long time ago, purely looking at party policy I tend to stand on the side of Hillary, though I don't think she has any more capability of being a world leader than Trump does what with her questionable actions and half the time looking like she wants to keel over. Really this was just a rambling way of saying that for the next 4 or so years I would not like to be American.
Oh, man! You sure got me! Only thing worse I could do is not respect someone else's opinion!
"It's like giving your child to a babysitter who is a convicted sex offender because the other babysitter has said mean things."It's not like that at all. If Clinton was convicted of something you'd be.... closer.
I still want a political talk show with Colin where he brings on a new competent guest each episode and talk politics.
he would be the reason I get into politics
100% agree. Colin's opinion is the only one I really trust on this show and would love to hear him talk about politics.
Aisha Tyler was a good opposite to him. More well informed guest on these topics would be nice.
Been dreaming of this for years.
Colin is overrated as someone to watch for political commentary. He misunderstands the persuasion aspect by assuming politics is policy based. Our brains are irrational, and he comes from the perspective that people are rational.
I could listen to Colin talk for many hours
He's the man!
1:09 to skip the ad read
The ads are almost the exact same length every time, do people really not know to just skip the first minute of the episode?
you da real MVP
I just skip 1 minute
Actual topic starts 7:27
Reginald Featherbottom III
Don't like ads? Go watch something else.
Tim, anyone that knows the horrible things that Clinton has done would never vote for her no matter what
And yet so many are willing to look the other way...
Lol Trump is a troll but at least he's not responsible for countless deaths
Donald Trump started his business mentality by not renting his apartments to blacks, which could have led to at least the degradation of quality of life of innocent people, if not leaving them out in the NY streets and getting involved in homicide. Hil had humble beginnings, and knows how to unite, very presidential.
Look into what Hillary and bill did to the Haitians after the earthquake
Trumps brother was an alcoholic......
To answer Danny's point, Nick is my favourite of the four/five KF guys.
Colin is the best
colin is definitely the most intelligent
There are things that I think each of them excel at more than others. I couldn't rank them. Except Kevin. Kevin is last.
what does tim excel in, exactly?
what have I done
Tim says all people do is regurgitate memes and don't know what they're saying about the election.. I don't even think he knows what he's saying here.
Tim is always taking his social circle and Twitter feed as a depiction of everyone.
Tim's brain, when it comes to current events, rarely seems to stretch beyond his Twitter feed.
Nice guy, but stuck in an echo chamber.
+Aime Mangone Yeah I mean.. I know Tim probably is an easy target and I shouldn't be so quick to judge because I'm a little older and I know nothing about politics. But if I wanted to know or learn something about politics.. I wouldn't listen to a 25 year old man child. He just represents how skewed and pointless his vote will be because he was so fired up this topic about being against Trump and he didn't say why or give any actual hard facts or political reasons as to why he doesn't want Trump to win. He just dislikes him because of what he's publicly said. He says they're not equals, but doesn't say why. If you ask him, he probably wouldn't be able to even tell you why.
Yup, pretty much agree with the assessment you've all made about Tim. The biggest reason I follow not only people I agree with but also people I disagree on Twitter is to keep me honest and to challenge my personal view of the world.
And for better or worse, this is something most people don't do, specially millennials. It's as if people having different opinions than you on the internet physically hurt and oppress you.
Aime Mangone most people are the same way sweetheart
Preach Colin. Thank you for actually understanding politics and speaking about it to your fan base.
Can anyone explain how wanting to stop illegal immigration makes you racist?
It doesn't. It's just the way Trump put it at first that got him a lot of heat.
I'm Hispanic and my family is Mexican. Came here legally and they all agree with Trump. It's not the Mexican people that are bad. It's the problems that Mexico has that come to the US and anyone who denies Mexico has problems is clearly an idiot. The cartels control that country for fucks sake and they make ISIS look like a bunch of pussies.
What makes it racist is that Trump is portraying illegal immigrants as poor criminals who are sneaking over the border and stealing jobs. That's not where the bulk of illegal immigrants come from. Most fly in legally on visas which they simply overstay. As a group they commit fewer crimes than the native US population, and deporting them en masse would be extremely expensive and hurt the economy. The answer to the illegal immigrant problem isn't to build a wall, it's to create more paths to citizenship.
MultiMagniGladii The notion that most illegals come in with a valid visa is completely false. Our southern border has been an open flood gate for decades.
AceAttorneyPlays Pew Research says otherwise: www.pewhispanic.org/2013/09/23/population-decline-of-unauthorized-immigrants-stalls-may-have-reversed/
The "open border" notion is completely unfounded.
Latent Soul The link has statistics on how many immigrants overstay visas as opposed to sneak across the border illegally (a large majority). Essentially this means that building a wall doesn't solve illegal immigration issues.
By the way emigrate means to leave a country, immigrate means to enter a country :)
Voting for Trump, never Hillary, America deserves Trump FYI I'm a Latino American with American Citizenship
null null Why?
null null Why am I scum?
I don't mean you
I like Tim, but he sounds like someone who only knows about Hillary from what he saw at the debate. Like he is completely unaware of everything she has done in her career. But she looks good at the debate, so she must be the best person to run the country. I thought that was crazy. But the Greg amped it up by saying he liked her so much he donated. Now I'm just realizing that I don't really want to hear them talk about politics. I wish they avoided that.
Cant Mew it like me Colin is just leagues smarter than the others in this topic. He makes the others look like uninformed amateurs lol.
None of them are stupid. Colin is clearly more informed and more wise about this sort of thing though. The worst you could legitimately argye for is the others being less inforned. Greg at least tries to be aware more so than the average Joe who knows nothing of what's going on, although I do think he's a bit naive and wrong in regard to Clinton at least. Tim at least admits he doesn't know much but he's trying. You also have to consider his background, lifestyle and upbringing which predisposes him to the perspective he has. To his credot he isn't an ideologue out it. He comes off as a liberal of conveniemce becaise ofbthose 3 factors i mentioned, not becaise he has really imvestigated to an extent as to make an informed akd clear decision of what he bekieves like Colin has for example. everyone starts somewhere. I can't quite get a read on Nick in political discussions but I think he, like Colin, tries to think before saying things so I respect that. Sometimes you're just going to disagree. Just because someone disagrees with me or you or anyone doesn't inherently make them unintelligent. That's just lazy and intellectually dishonest argumentation.
Manufacturing would have left America with or without NAFTA.
a lot of manufacturing jobs are being taken over by automation too.
China had a lot more impact than Nafta, to have manufacturing jobs coming back to USA they would have to close to most international trade like Brazil did, it worked in Brazil as companies are opening factories to be able to enter the Brazilian market even though manufacturing costs in Brazil is very high, however, on the other hand, everything is expensive in Brazil the land of the 2000 dollar PS4
This is absolutely true for high and low tier manufacturing, but a lot of mid tier manufacturing probably wouldn't have. Coke bottling for example probably would have stayed in the US. Car parts, not the cars themselves, probably would have. Then again this topic is going to be a moot point in 10-15 years with automation heading the way it is.
Automation is something a lot of people don't talk about either. Has had a huge effect on manufacturing jobs
Jack Walsh It's a matter of time before automation kills most service industry jobs too.
A lot of poor people are going to become even more poor.
tim takes so long to get to his point
it's hard to watch
Because he has no point.
I can't believe that Tim gives Hillary a pass for all of her "shady shit" that she has done. he is either ignorant or willingly in denial of how much extremely horrible things that Hillary has done.
Shady things that aren't as bad as people want them to be. The deeper you go, the less there is with Clinton.
I'm having a hard time understanding what you are trying to convey.
What's ironic is that you're the ignorant one who just eats up the media circus about Clinton without actually reading about the "shady shit" yourself.
Any person that believes Hilary is a good choice for president is crazy.
I agree, but I also think Trump is worse.
As much as it sucks, there is no ideal candidate this time around for me. It sucks that I have to settle for a candidate I don't like, but settle I will.
Hillary is a murderer, Trump is not.
that doesn't mean trumps and better tho
thats the entire issue with the US these days.. Everyone just settles for "good enough" and they accept that Politicians do shady/illegal stuff.
Waraich It because the U.S has condition it's citizens to care less and less about Truth, Justice and the American way.
Nowdays everybody just love to complain about everything and has a victim mentality.
Tim, you've gotta be consistent throughout your arguments. One minute you're criticising people for reducing politics to memes and jokes and the next you're saying the Trump campaign is exactly like Hydra. I think if you polish up your points, put them more succinctly, and don't get emotional when people talk about the points that you passionately disagree with, you'd bring really great arguments in the coming topics about this. I hope Greg and Nick start doing more research as you have so we can get better conversation.
God, when Colin starts speaking it just shows how well educated he is in politics....very smart political man, always enjoyable to listen to!
Thank God for Colin, especially the last 10 minutes of this video. He said it better than I could. Don't assume things about supporters on either side. People WILL double down to defend themselves. Not every Clinton supporter is an SJW, not every Trump supporter is a racist, sexist. Not BY A FUCKING MILE. I've seen crazy Clinton supporters just as much as Trump supporters. That doesn't mean Tim or Gregg are those crazy people. That doesn't mean average Joe that lost his job is a racist. That doesn't mean someone that's fed up with corruption of the establishment is sexist. People are so fucking quick to assume and judge others when they are not on the same wavelength. From afar, I see WAY MORE Nazism on CLINTONS side, than Trump's. That's fucking saying something. So don't be so fucking full of shit please people, and respect others. Also, dont hate on people like Colin that are actually intelligent and have dignity and balls to say they aren't supporting either of these candidates and going third party, even risking splitting the vote. Because there is no reason to vote against someone. Vote FOR someone. If you're voting against someone, you get what you deserve. If Trump wins because the establishment finally fucked themselves, so be it. Let it play out, revolt. Change the system. Then at least you'll be motivated to and something might ACTUALLY change in America.
Can we automatically disqualify Tim from future politics talk? I don't like Hillary and it has NOTHING to do with gender.
Greg saying he likes Hillary Clinton breaks my heart to be honest. That's such an infuriating thing to hear someone say. I think it comes mostly from a place of ignorance, though, because if you do even the slightest amount of research, you'll realize what a despicable and manipulative human being she is.
I know it shouldn't affect anything, but when he said he donated to her campaign I felt like unsubscribing :/
Yeah, I don't see the point in donating to her at all, even if you're a huge supporter of Hillary. That money could have been donated to a much better cause.
Who really cares if she's a good person if you agree with her policies though?
Whatever she is, Trump is 100 times worse
Trump is real at least. Hilary is just another cookie cutter politician. Trump's charisma has got him this far.
Ordered a pizza just for this topic at 2am. My body is ready for this hour long epic.
Colin makes me realize how stupid I really am.
At least he likes you to think that.
Being smart and being educated are 2 different things. Having more knowledge of politics makes him more knowledgeable not smarter.
^ What he said. I'm about to graduate as an Engineer but I don't know shit about... a lot of stuff
El Capitán93 any time Colin's talk
TBH how I feel
Smart and intelligent are two different things. Smart, knowledgeable, and educated are sides of the same coin. Intelligent is the thing that has to do with IQ and whatever.
Damn. Getting more into the video now and really don't understand how Tim thinks that everyone realizes that it's far from over. He said himself that all of the people he knows are voting from Clinton. He's in a bubble.
tim is a huge baby
You mean the bubble of actual polling?
I, he literally said that nearly everyone he knows and who are in his circles are voting Clinton. He is coming from a generally privileged, liberal San Francisco lifestyle, environment and upbringing (and I don't mean privileged the way the SJWs do and being privileged isn't inherently bad). He is in a bubble and his comments show that. I respect that he admitted that he doesn't know much about this sort of thing. Most would save face and act like they know everything. At least he's self aware and humble about it. I disagree with his perspective but I have to respect him for at least his self awareness, humility and desire to learn more. Everyone has to start somewhere. If he comes to a belief I disagree with, I hope someone challenges that in respectful debate but if he can defend his arguments then that should at least be respected.
You've got a good head on your shoulders. Good man.
watching this after the election with a little smirk....and agree on what you said though, he is in a huge bubble. Also its california, probably the most liberal place in America. Tim was born and raised there.
Also i bet majority of news they get is headline articles on social media, and the media hates trump so shocker they get a skewed view.
I love Colin. He knows what he is talking about.
Colin, I know you're busy man, but PLEASE make a political podcast. Just 45 minutes, once a week. That would be cool.
He really should. He could be the conservative Dan Carlin.
Yeah I remember waking up to brexit and having that feeling in my gut, hardly sleeping the night before, then going to work and everyone being depressed. It was horrible
Tim constantly shaking his head is driving me nuts. He knows things about what is being discussed.
"if trump wins you are basically saying its ok to be a racist"...what an absurd thing to assume.
It is wrong, no one cares about your anecdotal garbage. It could be that some people don't want to be known as supporters of Trump and the people that don't care about being known are more likely to be racists.
Tim telling Colin how Politics works is like me telling Micheal Jordan how to dunk, or Mike Tyson how to punch...
I don't want Clinton and I definitely don't want Trump. But Colin's vote is a wasted vote.
It may look like a wasted vote to you but Colin is someone who loves politics, he's as passionate about politics and history as he is about games. Knowing he voted for a candidate he does not believe in just so the other one doesn't win will leave a horrible taste in his mouth and it will eat him up from the inside.
His vote is wasted and might as well not even vote. Even if you hate both candidates you need too vote for which ever candidate you slightly agree with more.
libertarian party is best party
It's not a wasted one, he's the only one with the dignity to actually vote FOR someone rather than against someone. The establishment fucked themselves. If Trump wins because Hilary is a piece of shit and how they treated Bernie Sanders, then let America go into chaos and violence. THEN, maybe something will change. But voting for Hilary will do absolutely nothing.

no love for Kevin ? :/
These discussions are getting boring, especially since Colin is more concerned about being "right" or even contrarian than about actually saying something.
quite the opposite. He toes the pc line quite often. He says explicitly hillary is below the line of acceptability, but refuses to expound on it for fear of angering or alienating people.
He probably doesn't think most people care as to why she's so bad.
He said the only profound thing that was even discussed in this video.... His whole point was that liberals shouldn't underestimate Trump, a very important point. He is the only reason this discussion was even remotely interesting, because otherwise it would've just been three uninformed dudes sucking off Hillary for 40 minutes.
I can't take Tim seriously in this
So pumped for this. Love the kinda funny crew!
YES! I was waiting for you guys to debate, well...the debate!
I cracked up when colin corrects Tim about the lesser of two evils. typical colin
Man I love Tim, but he was not hearing what Colin was saying.
Yes! Been looking forward to this!
Great discussion guys; this needs more views.
I love Tim, but he is so ignorant, so often, and it makes me cringe.
I wonder if the comments will be a warzone?
Guaran-damn-teed.
AwesomeBrickSauce I wonder that myself.
because parents didn't teach their kids how to communicate properly.
I'd hope the Kinda Funny community would talk it out instead of being a warzone
Jack Walsh I agree.
Great discussion, guys. Very informative. Definitely would like to see you do a livestream or REACTS for the next debate(s).
We need a political show from Kinda Funny with Colin ASAP
I agree with Colin on many things but I disagree with anyone's logic that doesn't want Trump to be president but will not vote for Clinton. If you don't vote for Clinton you are throwing your vote away and it is helping Trump. How do intelligent people not see this? Swallow your pride and do what is best for your country. Trump getting this far is an embarrassment.
May as well pack your bags then.
Why should people vote for a candidate they don't like/whose policies they don't support just to keep out another candidate they don't like/whose policies they don't support? If people wish to vote for Johnson or Stein, let them.
It varies a bit depending on what state you're in. I've always voted 3rd party in Arizona because it is usually a red state no matter what. This year its actually close so I may vote Clinton as an anti-trump vote but honestly I prefer to stick with the candidate I most support rather than a bad binary choice. Colin is pretty safe in Cali going blue this year too so his vote will have little ill effect on the eventual winner.
im just going to avoid the comments on this one
"if you vote trump you are stupid" "if you vote hillary you are stupid" all the comments i read guys if you are able to vote go vote don't hate on someone else's opinion because it doesn't agree with yours.
havent started watching yet... but I've been waiting for this video
I hate Tim on these kinds of topics
This dude keeps calling Trump a racist but he doesn't say how or why. This is exactly why I respect Colin son much because he backs up his arguments with facts and logic.
Ryan Sampson liberals don't have any logic
"Look at my African American over here!"
'Cause that sounds logical.
Also, just want to say love hearing you guys talk about current events!
14:45 Danny's "moobs" are shaking all over in hist shirt, hahahah!
Tim comes across as very smug, self-righteous, and condescending. I do not find his behaviour respectable, which makes it hard for me to take him seriously. When I see someone so confident in their own views, it sets off a red flag.
Greg was at least engaged in the conversation. Tim, why are you even sitting at that table if you're not going to contribute to the conversation in a constructive way?
Gotta say, Im disappointed in colin. He really takes great pains not to offend anyone here rather than speak the unadulterated truth of his views.
He says he dislikes Hillary, so he must know his shit and understand all of the problems with her. And yet, he just stands by and allows the rest of them to spew nonsense attempting to dismiss all criticism of her as sexist or republican chicanery.
Speak up, Colin. You view her as below your bar of acceptability? Well explain why. Otherwise you let them paint you into the sexist raving lunatic republican category when there are very real bipartisan problems with her candidacy. Bernie and his base recognized and repudiated many of her flaws and vices, so it's certainly not a republican fantasy.
Gimme the vice presidential debate discussion!!
was expecting this discussion.
I love that Colin brings up if you demonize the other side so much, they'll double down. Who wants to be shouted down and forced to hide their opinion? We're gonna divide everybody this way.
I don't agree with EVERYTHING that comes out of Colin's mouth. We share different views in some aspects. but Damn you got to give it up to the guy for being so intelligent and informed. This guy know's what he is talking about.
Excellent topic from Colin as per usual
this has been my favourite piece of content by kinda funny. Collin has a great depth to his discussions, and interactions with everyone else
Why can't more people discuss politics in the way that Colin does? Respectful and informed.
Tim is so unabashedly ignorant it almost hurts.
Sounds like he literally just ran down his time line or did a quick google search of the debate.
Hey Colin! As someone else who is supporting a third-party candidate (Jill Stein), I am curious to learn your thoughts on the viability of voting third party in what is essentially a two-party election stage. Do you think a third party candidate, Johnson or Stein, has a chance of winning this election, and if not, what do you see as a positive effect for voting for one of them anyways? Thank you very much!
Also, would you still be voting for Johnson if you lived in a swing state or one that does not predominantly vote democrat?
You should vote for the candidate whose policies you consider most agreeable. I myself voted for UKIP at the last general election in Britain knowing full well they couldn't win (they received 12.5% of the vote) and have zero regrets.
They had a whole segment about this. Maybe 2 weeks ago?
Colin has the clearest view of the situation IMO. Can't understand why he's still standing by Johnson who couldn't name a foreign leader nor knew what Aleppo is.
He called it a protest vote. As he said, he can't bring himself to vote for either of the top candidates so why the hell not Gary Johnson?
He is agreeing to use his vote to protest.(he even understands he is technically throwing it away). He wants to participate but refuses the top 2 candidates. I haven't decided to vote Johnson but I cannot vote for Clinton or Trump.
I was hoping to hear them actually discuss the debate and talk about the policies stated by each can canidate, but no, it's just the usual minimal political understanding circle jerk around Trump hate.
Nvm Colin is discussing actual policies now :)
Tim has the weirdest fucking opinions about stuff. I like him, but I really don't understand him some times.
I don't think Tim realizes that there are countless people in this country that are saying "how could you vote for this person" about Hillary. People hate Trump, but just as many people hate Hillary. Very few people actually genuinely like her.
Tim ignore these haters the kinda funny fans love you bro.
As a truck driver in California there is a massive amount of support for Trump here especially in central and Northern California.
Colin made a very strong point about a draw. Their largest difference at this point is that Clinton needs to pull votes, a draw simply isn´t good for her, she can´t afford it, Trump on the other hand, has a spectacularly low bar when it comes to this debates, he needs to talk to the people that will vote for him, while Clinton needs to speak to the entire country.
I love the friends talk at the beginning... Love it.
I will not be voting for Trump, but I don't consider people that vote for him to be bad people. There are a lot of people out there that won't admit they are voting for him because of fear. Your voting record is not an accurate representation of a person's character.
No one's judging you when you're making your mark in the voting booth and I think America will be surprised how many silent Trump voters there are.
Also never underestimate how fed up people will vote for the biggest 'fuck you' available, i.e. Brexit or Trump.
Tim really talks like someone who has lived in San Francisco his whole life.
Does it matter who you vote for ? Doesn't the Electoral College vote in the president and Vice President also if I reminder correctly the E.C have voted in 4 presidents that didn't get the vote of the American people
A lot of folks in the comments are saying why Hilary is horrible but aren't saying why Trump is the best option. Doesn't make sense to bad mouth one and not make an argument for the other.
So far it looks like Hilary has gotten a decent bounce from winning the debate of about 2 or so points, but we'll probably know a bit more in the coming days if it's bigger than that. It has been enough to make that 55% Colin brought up from 538 now over 67%, making her a clear favorite, although certainly not a lock. It's also interesting that so far the closest thing we've got to an October surprise has been about Trump, not Clinton, with taxes. Still lots of the month to go though of course.
It's crazy to me that Colin thinks the two candidates tied. That chance of winning is still rising - just in the last 20 minutes or so has risen to 68.2%. Clinton clearly won the debate and it caused Trump to completely unravel and have an awful week, hence his chances of winning keep lowering.
EDIT: It is now nearing 69% at 68.7%.
Trump won 29 out of the 31 polls that asked who won the debate.
OneLastSpartan You mean the online, non scientific polls which were brigaded by 4chan and reddit and thus completely unusable?
i am sorry but Tim & Greg sounds like children here ...
You guys need to make a political show... love listening to you guys, who all have different a perspective discuss. Could listen to it all day :)
Lesser evil, doesn't literally mean they're evil, Tim. It means choosing the one you dislike the least.
I'm a Trump supporter. i feel bad for Colin because his co-founders of his small business are voting for Clinton. Idk if you guys recorded this before all the polls came out, but every poll had Trump as the victor. even Wikileaks poll. Also, thank God for Brexit.
Hillary for prison 2016
Colin, I appreciate you.
and here. we. go...!
I agree with Colin's viewpoints on this topic. I don't want Trump in office but I can not in good conscience vote for an obvious carpetbagger career politician who has already shown to be deceptive with hundreds of government emails while in office.
I felt Tim had a sentence going and then he forgot about it and then kept blabbering randomly
*Vote Vader 2016 * Make The Galaxy Great Again*
No bullshit guys let's take s moment to appreciate the best of IGN and gamespot on screen!!
Why are you guys talking about this if you guys don't understand
"I like Hilary Clinton" - Greg Miller 2016
The day Greg lost all credibility. Both Trump and Hilary are embarrassments to this country. If more people realized there are more options than Trump and Hilary, we wouldn't be stuck in this republicans vs democratics mindset.
wow i love the intro- its been awhile
GO BIG, GO JOHNSON~!
All I could think of while watching that "debate" is that we're fucked..
Lot of salty people in these comments lol
You can really tell the people who are actual fans apart from just the people who clicked on this video because it was political and they want to shout their opinion
People are salty here. Funny because it was actually a decent discussion. Colin really had to counter them and really bring it down to earth. Underestimated in this election is that if we got a Socially progressive/Fiscally conservative candidate from either party, that would probably beat both Trump and Clinton. People want money to flow freely and humane treatment of fellow humans. It's simple but both these candidates display awful morals and ideals to both of those things.
Dont read the comments. its not worth it
Interesting what Colin says at 47:11 about people becoming more convinced they're right about something when they're proven to be wrong. It's called cognitive dissonance. It's discussed in a really good book I'm reading at the moment called Black Box Thinking by Matthew Syed, if anyone is interested.
For fuck sake. Good to know Kinda Funny has such an diverse, inclusive, well educated fan-base. Well done.
