“Some people say we need a third party. I wish we had a second one.”

true
It's impossible for a third party to win with the electoral college system
And I just wish we were less gullible MFG

I don't understand why corporate lobbying just isn't banned completely.
Seriously. It completely blows my mind.
Money buys everything in America my friend. Whatever you could possibly imagine.
lol that’s like saying, “I don’t understand why voting just isn’t banned completely.” in a democracy.
Why ban the system giving you millions?
The reason corporate lobbying isn’t banned is because our government is a dictatorship of the bourgeois and the ruling classing. Corporate lobbying isn’t banned because the government is owned by the corporations and ruling class. The U.S. government works for the corporations and not the common folk.
Finally someone explains how I feel. For years I've been saying the democrats do just enough to keep peoppe voting, but never actually do what they say.
Surprised? You live in a nearly pure capitalistic country. The US political left is, compared to Europe, still a solid right.
Blame Obama for deciding to do a victory lap when he became president instead of supporting the runoff candidate that would have given him a super majority in congress to do everything he would have wanted. Then didn't and tea-party crazies came to power so then nothing could get done under him.
it seems like people make every little thing an event for biden, like he is a little kid and someone is distracting him and the rest of the us with him.
Is peoppe a new synonym for idiots? It makes complete sense in your context.
Obama had 8 years to codify Roe vs. Wade. He promised he would do it and never did. Biden had over a year to do the same thing.
It gets overturned by the Supreme Court then demacrats use it as a fund raiser, send us $20 and we'll get this overturned.

The government is there for the corporates, not for the people

My favorite thing about Leftists is how they complain all day about corporations just acting and being like typical corporations (as if a group of people getting together to make money is such a horrible concept) while at the same time demanding for radical changes like communism and socialism... which only gives even more power to the biggest corporation of all, the government.
Yes, the government is a corporation, it generates profit by taxing the people and its product is trying to maintain social order or, at least, some semblance of it.
Only a true lummox can believe more government tyranny will magically stop corporations from behaving like corporations and somehow cure all corruption.

*The system isn't broken, it's working exactly as intended.*
Yes that's communism in all of history
It is broken, it was not intended by the founders for bribes to run the show.
As who intended?
Milton Friedman?
@beaverjedi1236 sure bud 🙄
Nah, the system is inherently terrible, but there is no incentive for either party to do anything about it. For example, if elections on all levels would be decided through popular vote, we could have much more parties in the House and Senate. But that would hurt the Democrats and Republicans, so it's probably not gonna happen anytime soon (although the Democrats are at least open to the idea). And it's a similar situation with the Electoral College. You would need a 2/3 majority to get rid of it - but the Republicans especially really benefit from the Electroral College.
Stop calling it "lobbying". Call it what it actually is "BRIBERY".
BRIDERY is too kinky for most people tho

They bent all these years to the American war machine also.
I think he's referring to the European citizens not its corrupt politicians!
Nah same here. We also call it "Lobby", only working class sometimes call it corruption

Why change anything when it's the status quo that made you president?
weird way of thinking.
capitalism is technically why I'm alive but should that prevent me from thinking workers deserve rights and better conditions? no it shouldn't, even though it's the status quo
@@TEETHHHHH Democrat politicians benefit from the unfair status quo that republicans create, so they perpetuate it.
@@TEETHHHHHHow is "capitalism" why you are alive?
You have workers you exploit, and it saved your life?!
Or you are an exploited worker, getting paid less than your work brings to your boss, and that somehow saved your life?!
I don't get it, please explain!
The original comment meant that capitalists pay the people in power, so the people in power will not go against them (and, often, they are one and the same). Capitalism is only about profit, and profit cannot save lives, by it's definition.
@@TEETHHHHH OP is making fun of how democrats think
@@raulvidal2343
Welfare reform legislation (that gutted welfare and left it up to the states), 'tough on crime' legislation like the 94' crime bill, and NAFTA all happened under Dem leadership.
Stop acting like the Dems aren't complicit.
The fact that "conservative Democrats" exist is nuts.
But, explains *a lot.*
the democratic party is a right wing party. The US doesnt have anything remotely approaching even a centrist party, let alone a left wing party.
It's one of the reasons FL is to f'ed up. Democrats in FL aren't what Democrats in the rest of the country would be. They're rejected Republicans. They're Republicans the Republicans didn't want to nominate for anything, so they moved to the Democratic party for a shot at a seat at the table.
There’s no liberal republicans
What's even more concerning is that most democrats in congress are conservative. Establishment democrats allow Republicans to keep dragging America farther to the right while taking no meaningful steps to push back against the Republicans.
The republicans call themselves conservative when they are actually regressive, because they aren't just fighting against change, but trying to undo any progress that has been made.
They’re all conservative. ALL of them.
There is a joke, that USA has the best democracy that money can buy.
It’s called plutocracy 😂
It’s called democratic republic or representative democracy, the US is not a true democracy
So.... not a democracy lol
@@MattAngiono They were being sarcastic
@sfgsfhsfh what about my comment made you think I didn't get that?
I even said lol.
The sad part is I live in the US and most people do believe it's a democracy, simply because they vote.
The existence of lobbying means nothing to them and some people even defend it as reasonable
Sometimes I think about all the people who've ended themselves over stupid things like having medical debt. That's only one form of the many ways these people commit political violence against us, yet we are never even supposed to protest without permission.
I was just thinking this... how many broken families, self killings, and pain from deaths of despair over things like money that don't even exist
The answer is better economic policy, but I do agree with your point that it is not going to happen
The things I would like to say, I cannot safely express online
Yeah, I've been banned from a couple online groups for pointing out that self harm's got nothing on informed and specific harm of others. People should have a net neutral lifestyle when they take bribes, or as we call them campaign donations, from enemies of the American public, because they can't go anywhere without expensive armed escort.
Socialism is bad it's communism this and that affordable Healthcare education is terrible and others.
Oligarchy, corporatocracy, stratocracy, bureaucracy, gerontocracy, kleptocracy, and kakistocracy but definitely no democracy in sight. This is why I can't be invested in this charade. In addition, we've just had a genocidal maniac addressing Congress to endless feverish standing ovations while he spewed the most sadistic lies. It was nauseating. It was one of the most sickening sights I've seen. I don't think the US will recover from this in the eyes of the world.
@@swhaster your definitely not wrong but as one of the youngest countries we're due for it, the rest of recorded history has already done this song and dance. It's just that news travels so much more quickly now so it's a lot more visible pressure

@@foodforthought247 you have poopybuttocracy
There are plenty of democrats who publicly called Netanjahu out. Support them and become an active participent. The only way to change things is by making slow progress. The whole premise of this video is simply not true. There is movement in the democratic party but it's painfully slow. And that's because too many people simply do nothing, thinking it's some form of protest. Which it is not.
If politicians fixed anything, they'd be out of a job. The incentives only make everything, bigger, slower, more expensive, more complicated and un-solveable.
So basically the same old story
There’s no money in the cure but a Fuq Ton of money in the “Treatment “
No, because even if you fix problems there's always problems to fix.
Watch Not Just Bikes and Flurfdesign on people fighting for non-car transportation and infrastructure, and mixed zoning and buildings, and how they are so lacking.
Watch environmental videos. Like from DW Planet A.
Watch Plant Chompers on pfas. 97% of Americans have pfas in their blood.
Poverty, homelessness, more infrastructure for disabled people, corruption from businesses, wage theft, exploited workers, socialism, etc.
We have a long way to go.
Some people even said they felt hopeless, wanted to give up, won't bring kids into this world, or wanted to end themselves cause of the overwhelming societal problems.
Such as saying they had climate anxiety.
I think a big reason for the corruption of many Democrats is wanting to accept a lot of money from lobbying, being ignorant, and being detached from the average and less fortunate people. Etc.
Many Democrats don't really know things like about socialism, the environment, non-car infrastructure, etc. And just want to go by the status quo. Partly cause it's easy.
How would anything be different under socialism or do you just not believe in democracy
@@CiaranOBrien-f1r what socialism?

Did you ever notice how defensive some people get when we point out that the two major partys in the US share the same goals? I mean they get unreasonably angry. They love to point fingers at monoparty states elsewhere in the world but fail to notice our two party state is merely an illusion. It is as if they need to hold on to that illusion for dear life, elsewise we do not appear to be the democracy we all so love to praise, even as we have so little understanding what a true democracy might look like. I am fascinated by our capacity for self-delusion & that is why I appreciate Second Thought so much.
“Vote for the lesser evil.” - They Say
It's easier to fool a man then prove to him he's been fooled
The same goals? Look man I'm not defending anyone, I'm probably about as hard-lined a centrist can be, and I do not see how both parties have the same goals. If you could explain that further I would love it. Because as I see it, one party wants to basically retain the status quo, and the other wants you to put your driver's license number in whenever you're on any spicy websites. Not the same in my eyes.
Yeah, all parties saying "democracy" won't allow to vote against capitalism. Like actual material problems are not something where you can vote the solution and be sure "voting" means that it actually will be done, which makes the vote useless for the working class... yet a democratic vote with actual power to enforce e.g. healthcare/housing/education etc. will be called "tyranny" for controlling our exploiters ("businesses").
Most people agree that politics are all bought.
Having the genocidal Israeli prime minister appear to Congress with applause from both parties is proof that America no longer has good options.
That was just so embarrassing. All of them clapping like seals. A foreign leader telling Americans how to protest. None of our leaders standing up for us.
The fact that they had Bibi the Butcher address Congress was an outrage! He should have been arrested for war crimes the moment he landed! But Congress treated him like a returning hero! So despicable!
It's so funny to see leftists call the spineless Bibi genocidal, The same prime minister that has been propping up Hamas for DECADES because he didn't want to bother invading Gaza until his hand was forced.
"... no longer?" lol. We haven't had "good options" for many, many decades. The Democrats and Republicans have firmly been two wings of the same Uniparty since Bill Clinton was President and the military-industrial-complex has been calling the shots for the federal government since before JFK was assassinated by the CIA.
actually a good number of people just walked out or refused to show up.
Nothing is funnier than hearing purportedly serious people claiming that "democracy is under threat in America." What the hell are they talking about, and when is democracy coming to the U.S.A.? We've been waiting since the 18th century!!!

@@ipopmemes4472 democracy is rule by the people. in america, the government doesn't even represent the people. this is easy to research: for every significant bill passed or rejected by congress, look up what public support for it was. you'll find that public support is no factor in whether or not a bill gets passed, congress seems to do its own thing. at this point, look at the contents of the bills that it passes or doesn't pass. what you will find is that bills that benefit the ruling class get passed, and bills that benefit the working class don't.

Gotta love that corruption is called lobbying
Lobbying is just legal bribery
It would still take different form without it. Trying to ban lobbyism would be extremely riskful considering how both parties are baked by them. They will notice steps towards removing lobbyism very easily. Any new political party typically either dissolves or gets absorbed by another.
@@rico-fs1crthat is so stupid. Taking lobbying from politicians wouldn't change anything in that aspect because 99.9% of these politicians are already multi-multi-millionaires. And that's not even considering the above average salary. But this doesn't matter because they're never going to pass a law banning lobbying.
@@kaz_50 You know, being multi-millionaire tends to make one seek a "highscore" of sort while most likely never going to become the true richest person on the planet.
@@rico-fs1cr and that's exactly why lobbying will never be banned.
Our government is like a theatre troupe where some players always play the villain and some always play the hero and the rest play whatever role the play calls for.

Lobbying is fine - that's literally the process by which people make suggestions for change or present their problems to their elected representative. Corporate funded lobbying completely outcompeting the democratic requirements of the electorate is the problem.

Also also it was the donation cap changes in 2007 that gave corporations so much more power.
@@peglor In other countries, lobbying means meeting with politicians to talk to them. In the US, lobbying means paying them money to tell them what to do. The former is reasonable, the latter is illegal in most places because that's just bribery.

Wilhoit’s Law
“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
That's the most concise summary I've ever seen
What does to wit here mean
@@ahmadazem4167 Real easy to google the phrase: To wit is a phrase meaning "the following comes to mind." The phrase is sometimes used to introduce examples for a more general statement
Have you heard the quote that is something like "Americans are ideologically liberal and symbolically conservative". Both parties have people who express in-group favoritism and cling to symbolism. In fact, the internet seems to be full of symbolically conservative people. Most of us do not want to admit that we support many of the same policies.
“The purpose of the system is what it does - it’s pointless to say a system is for doing what it always fails to do”
Stafford Beer quote! Nice. I wish more people knew of it and what it really means.
It's not pointless, if your aim is to spread more suffering. You tell children a "myth" about what it's supposed to do, then they get older and realize they were lied to, so they get upset, naturally, and look to make the system what they believed it was supposed to be, but learn they're powerless to change anything, and then fall into depression.
I'm an Australian who watches a lot of politics. I can tell you that you don't have a left wing in the US, not really. The LNP is Australia's conservative party, they're to the left of the Dems on some issues. That's called the ratchet effect on the overton window for anyone who is unaware.
What you need primarily in the US is what you call ranked choice voting. We call it preferential voting here, essentially it means you can vote your conscience and so long as you know where your preference is going, your vote is never wasted. Voting is also compulsory here.
Once you have ranked choice, the GOP will never win another election. You'll end up with the Dems being the more conservative party and whatever the new progressive party is called.
An upheaval of power like that would provide the perfect opportunity to get money out of politics and un-rat-fuck SCOTUS. So much could be achieved if you just had that one change to your electoral commission. Preferential voting will get you that third political party that actually is full to the brim of leftists. Also, GOP politics would change - it'd no longer be a race to the bottom as they'd have to compete in the market place of ideas. Which isn't dissimilar to challenging a quadruple amputee to a footrace.
Which is why it'll never happen.
Well said.

@@certifiable3992 thank you for the kind words.

That’s exactly what capitalism is
It's exactly why the oligarchs in power do not care what happens to the rest of the world, so long as they can stay wealthy and powerful. The most ruthless, cruel people find unimaginable success by exploiting the poor and stealing the world's resources.
Yep FDR despite coming from rich family understood this & he hated the corporate class & despised them. The Conservative Coalition of Conservative Democrats & Republicans blocked his domestic agenda so many times during the last two terms. He was able to get New Deal early on because it was political suicide to oppose it & he understood politics which the modern left doesn’t. Sometimes you gotta say scorch earth.
Honestly nowadays with how controlled the corporate media & to be blunt decades of propaganda during Cold War I’m somewhat sympathetic to left leaders because everything against you & lot of sane people you trying help hates you & thinks your traitors and liars. But honestly Bernie Sanders should’ve said scorched Earth in 2020 campaign he was too kind & weak to fight establishment. We seen how these guys don’t fight fair.
I’m in a deeply red state so I probably won’t vote because it simply doesn’t matter this presidential election but I hope Harris wins for democracy sake & we maybe have a chance of influencing her of not being horrible. But God 2016-2018 remember when we fought Democrat establishment.
Seeing so many progressive lose like Mandela Barnes, Nina Turner, Jammal Bowman disgusts me. Mandela actually got nomination for Senate & barely lost. Nina & Bowman they bought these seats & gave them corrupt climate denial Democrats.

"We need a strong Republican party"
They're pretty up-front about all of this. How some don't see it is beyond me.
I wouldn't want a Sentate with 90 Dem Senators. You always need people to check you and sometimes those people need to be some who completely disagrees with you
I was discussing with a friend recently and i described the USA as having a "far right" and a "less far right" party...
My view as a European exactly. It blew my mind when people talked about Sanders like he was a communist revolutionary. Where I'm from he'd be a pretty tame standard centre leftist, never mind 'far left'. He'd also have won the election hands down due to blatantly being the only candidate who actually appeared to give a toss about ordinary working people and showing a little integrity.
Radical right and Status Quo right
Sadly, same in Canada. We technically have like 3 or 4 other mainstream parties than the neoLiberals and the far right Conservatives, who are currently the Opposition, but the 3 or 4 other parties have never be in power at the Federal level. Not once in over 150 years of Canada. It's been a back and forth between Libs and Cons.
Plus one party, the Bloc Quebecois are only voted for in Quebec, our second largest province. The People's Party of Canada is our super far right party, they take votes from Conservatives, but almost have eliminated themselves because conservative voters just vote Conservative because I think the are at least semi-conscious that having a PPC sign on your lawn signals you are likely a wingnut extremist. The Cons have been around so long that it is more palatable for people to be wingnuts and vote Conservative. Our Green party has be sabotaged and has almost no momentum. The 3rd most popular party is the NDP, basically the closest we have to a left party with any significant visibility and support across Canada, but the leader is weak and, probably, on purpose, to make it hard for progressive people in Canada to vote in that way.
It becomes clearer by the year that voting should be considered about 5% of what any activist spends their time on because it has about the lowest amount of chance of changing things. We need bottom-up structural change until we can build a stronger community that can actually push for policy change because we have supported each other in case they are fired or lose housing or food. We need to build up strong Mutual Aid Networks (website for that, but also just the idea of a network of support in a community like the commons or Library Socialism, would be good).
So, go ahead, take 5% of your time, do some research and decide who to vote for if it is an election year. Generally, pick the party that has the most anti-war, anti-Imperialist, pro-worker, pro-Green New Deal policies, and then move your energy to building local mutual aid networks. That 95% of your time will be far more beneficial, I can pretty much guarantee it because it will be visible far faster than a vote for a political elite party which you will probably never meet the leader in person and have no relationship with.

A few weeks ago I came across a clip from The Simpsons. It was an illustration of both political parties with a few signs and banners over them. For The Republican Party, a banner said, “WE’RE JUST EVIL!” For the Democratic Party, their banner said, “WE CAN’T GOVERN!” That episode looked like it was from the early 1990s, right around the time the democrats embraced the Third Way. More than lobbying, more should be educating people on how this political philosophy operates in modern American liberalism.
There's another Simpsons moment, set in the future. Bart says he doesn't know how Social Security was lost with 99 Democrats in the Senate. Nelson says "That one Republican is great at getting his way."
That's the episode "Bart Gets an Elephant" from season 5 and released in 1994. That is my favorite Simpsons joke from its golden years. Because it's still fucking true but worse.

We have no Left-wing party in the US.

Both have the same economic interests and foreign policies. They work for the corporations, not us. Funny how when the Democrats have control over the Presidency, House and Senate that progressive policies never get enacted or are greatly watered down because of a few conservative Dems. It happens EVERY SINGLE TIME.! Personally I am sick to death of it. It's a joke. Thank you for pointing out why this happens.

Sometimes, they show their true colors when it comes to working class interests. For instance, when the railway workers were threatening to strike, the democrats worked alongside the republicans to make the strike illegal.
Yup, and then Dems run on Biden being the most pro-worker president ever.
Which, he kind of is. That just shows how hostile both parties have been to labor.
This, exactly this!
And then Biden negotiated to see that their demands were agreed to. So the strike threat worked.
And afterwards gave the railway workers everything they wanted in their demands. Or did you not know that.
@@dominictemple so far I’ve seen no evidence for that. But even if they did, it was likely that if Biden didn’t give in, the workers would’ve went on strike regardless. It was likely in my opinion giving into the demands was made out of fear rather than good will.
If the establishment was working in the best interest and “giving them what they want”, then why make the strike illegal?
Spot on. Having worked in American politics, I can say I've seen every aspect of this argument play out in real life.

Only center-right and far-right 😅
We have both kinds of politics in the US: liberal and conservative (Blues Brothers reference). There is a liberal party that is the socially liberal capitalist party, and the conservative party that is the socially conservative capitalist party.
Well that’s not true. The conservatives/Republicans aren’t far right lol. The issue is the modern democrats are so far left they think anyone who is conservative or disagrees with them is far right. The JFK Democrats are long gone.
Except on the social stuff, the Democrats are fully in line with European leftists, i.e "white people are oppressors", "men are bad", LGBTQ, trans, non-binary, etc.
It's only on the economic scale where the Democrats are "right-wing", such as refusing tax-financed healthcare and college.

So I've always questioned Society at Large Sensei young age.

I'm not even a United Statian but I care about Palestine and the US is in the best position to impact the situation. She isn't any better on it than Biden, already offering her support to Bibi Nettenyahoo and condemning the pro Palestinian protestors x)
What I hate is that we have people who seem to think that Kamala Harris is any better.
She was a part of Biden's administration, and she stood by all this. She was even put in charge of the border by the man himself. But all of a sudden, the media says she wasn't, and she's being artificially installed. I understand that she is the incumbent and all... but there still should be a primary of some sort...
Also, she has a horrible record as a California prosecutor. Since when is that presidential metarial? But then again, we have a felon as the republican nominee, so what do I know...
All I gotta say is, prosecutor vs. felon for the presidency is something I never thought I would ever see.
Her scorecard shows that she was furthest left on her voting record while in the Senate. Only Bernie Sanders, who is Independent, was further left than her.
Don't know where you heard she was put in charge of the border, but you were misinformed and should consider where you got that info. She was tasked with tackling the root cause of migration from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras, so she worked with officials from those countries, she didn't work on the border.
She hasn't been artificially installed either. The Democratic Party delegates are free to pledge their votes to whichever candidate that runs they choose, no one else is running, everyone that people suggested have said that they would not run, and she has got the majority of delegate pledges. Also, people voted for entertainers twice, the actor Ronald Reagan in 1978, and the reality TV show host Don Trump in 2016, so what qualifies as presidential material exactly? I'd say a public servant that has served as DA Prosecutor, and later as state Attorney General twice, and later as US Senator, and more recently as Vice President, is far more qualified than entertainers, but that's just me, apparently.
I am not about get into an argument here.
The only thing I will say is that you are wrong and to do research on her time as a California Presecutor and her time as the California AG.
Trust me, her record is not good.
Hell, just review her debate with Tulsi Gabbard back in 2019. Which by the way, she didn't win a single delegate. You want to believe that she is suddenly winning now?
Please.
