- Closing the 2022 festival, we welcomed Jennifer Rubin of The Washington Post, Michael Steele who chaired the Republican National Committee pre-Trump, MSNBC's Ali Velshi, and former candidate for U.S. president and for mayor of New York and founder of the Forward party, Andrew Yang.
What’s wrong with U.S. politics today? Why is our country so polarized, and our fractured leaders so unable to get things done? As Yang said: “We have a political system that rewards problems getting worse and festering, as long as I can get you upset about it.”
Yang’s solution: Revamping how we vote through Open Primaries (thephiladelphiacitizen.org/ci..., which allow citizens to vote for candidates from any party in the primary; and Ranked-Choice Voting (thephiladelphiacitizen.org/ma..., which lets voters select candidates in order of their preference and ensures only the one with at least 50 percent of the vote wins. To see how that works, we can look to Alaska’s most recent election: fairvote.org/alaskas-ranked-c...

I hate how the media tarnished Yang's reputation. This man did nothing but to try to better USA and the world. Go Yang!
Extremists leftists don't do that.
Racism😊
Great panel and awesome discussions!!........ Yang2024!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed
Amen!
He doesn't have a chance in Hell.
Great talk. I love Yang's messaging on the need to prioritize changing the incentives via RCV and Nonpartisan Open Primaries.
Impressive panel. Always love to hear from Andrew Yang, one of the more thoughtful people to have entered the political arena in recent years.
Hoping Andrew decides to run again.
Me too. Absolutely hoping
Yah, can't return listening to the rest that are so boring and useless.
@@schloops8473 or just how outdated they sound when trying to solve problems.
@@catdeerduck yah, they are just lazy, don't bring any new data and just repeat what everybody else says and try and make a name for themselves in that fake L vs R or fake official establishment vs fake progressives. It's tiring and stupid and really insulting to the people they talk to.
@@catdeerduck Exactly.
I like the way Andrew Yang thinks. People need to feel like their vote matters. It feels like our candidates are chosen for us.
Yang please run again I miss hearing your entire vision for America. You’re so lucid and intelligent and the way you connected all the dots was so enlightening.
Andrew willing to interrupt . Maybe he will do so at the next set of presidential debates
Ranked choice voting/nonpartisan primaries do not favor a certain party. They favor the best candidate for all voters.
Listening to Yang after many months. Makes sense why I donated to his campaign back then. Still the most intelligent and thoughtful person on a political stage
Michael Steele's last point is actually what Yang is tackling head on by championing RCV and Nonpartisan Open Primaries. Until we change the way we vote, then it continues to be difficult to hold those in power accountable. Voting them out isn't always doable or realistic BECAUSE of the voting system in place. So let's prioritize changing the voting system!
I enjoyed Andrew Yang's perspective at the affiliation with these two others.And I like Ali.
There are many like me who've never voted because of the insanity of the system that's been broken for many decades.
Andrew Yang is the one we would all vote for.
great talk. really liked Yang.
Andrew has made a right decision to be his own party boss!
Yang gang
God help us all
Keeping freedom in America
Ali Velshi, honorary law degree Michael Steele, attorney, lieutenant governor
Jennifer Rubin, labor and employment lawyer, top of class
Andrew Yang, economics and political science degree, Juris Doctor
This was good.
I'm glad Jennifer Rubin also likes ranked choice voting (RCV). Anyway, Alaska really has shown the path forward, which is as simple as enabling non-partisan primaries with RCV!
Big challenge to Americans now
While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic. What does this mean? “Constitutional” refers to the fact that government in the United States is based on a Constitution which is the supreme law of the United States.
NO to LABELS. I'm pro-demacy and I will vote Blue I agree w Jennifer. This is boolean logic. Both/and. I believe pro democracy is a big mixed party.
I want have leaders like these people. Tired of establishment and extremist.
👏👏👏
Government needs to leave our constitutional rights and our children alone
Real life comcerns
#YamgGang!!!
Clean government
Watched our government no pure corruption
Open to ranked choice NOT 3rd party. My one exposure was in Oakland CA. The winner was not a good leader. I'm w MICHAEL.Organize and conversation. I'd like national two party voting w no gerrymandering. None of this NOW as Trump is such an issue. I use libraries yet many can no longer afford data bases.
Never rver same people
Thumbs up because Andrew Yang is in this video!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🦂
Government overstepping in every way
Andrew Yang #2028
Doubling the house would fix the electoral college
Things were set up like they are for a reason. When you loose, stop trying to change everything. You'll eventually fall prey to that as well.

WE THE PEOPLE....thank you Michael. John Dewey created the library system to create educated VOTERS
Stop borders
Yang please run again just be more serious and aggressive Americans like their Asians to be bad ass like Jackie Chan or Bruce lee no offense yanggang4life
😮Steele speaks about everyone’s agenda except the Black Americans agenda.🤨
Should
We all do failure
Trump is there for a reason that needs to be acknowledged.
We're headed for a constitutional anarchic republican democracy (CARD), in which we will take our politics from the politicians by popular demand - with Trump if we have to.
Andrew Yang should be president
How does the government quit prople we are not stupid squashing Americans as stupid
Structured inout government again
Andrew Yang is truly the best person to be the next President of the US that will bring the sanity in the world 👏👏👏
Yang gang
