I don't think young people in the West are souring on democracy. I think they're fed up with yellow journalism. Like me.
The United States is NOT a Democracy. The United States is a Constitutional Republic.
The problem is, people listen to this nonsense.😅
They are souring on Democracy, because they haven’t really experienced democracy. This is a corptocracy and a theocracy
No, they are souring on socialism.
No, they are souring on democracy. Democracy prevents people from solving problems.
Ha theocracy? Where do you mouth breathers come up with this nonsense?
The US was never a Democracy though. Maybe thats why they haven't experienced it.
I agree, the neoliberal order is both oligarchic and conservative. The youth crave for solidarity, accountability, and transparency, something that the political right hasn't delivered in decades.
I think the problem is not with democracy, it is with flawed democracy.
Yeah, I have to wonder if the original survey included any other options. it's one thing to be dissatisfied with "democracy" and a completely different thing to be "dissatisfied with how my democracy is functioning."
I suspect that %90 of them still want a democracy over anything else. %10 might seem high but there are a bunch of people who think theocracy would be better 🙄
The video title isn't as exciting then though..
Comedy News Network at the TOP of the list!😂More fake quotes:" Pause!"" I don't work for you!"" Your not black enough!"" I'm going to build a railroad across the Indian Ocean!"" There is no inflation!"" Shrinkflation!"" My uncle Bozo suffered from cannibalism in the Civil War!" Ashley! Shower time!" Stupidity, the real epidemic in America.
Voting for crazy right wing fascists is not how to fix it
@JeffreySmith7777- Less than half .
80% or more of u.s. politicians are corrupt. Anyone taking super pac money, insider trading, siding with corporations and ignoring the people, that is my definition.
What's being called democracy, is practiced as oligarchy .
Personally, I’m not *souring* on the “concept of democracy.” I think young people just recognize a REAL democracy benefits everyone, not just the rich… our system is poisoned by wealth.
Agreed
Blame Regan.
It’s almost like a monarch system embedded within democracy.
A true democracy only benefits the majority. Checks and balances are required to protect the rights of the minority. Our current kleptocracy is another issue.
Democracy holds back society in several ways
Because we can’t afford a car, can’t afford a house, can’t afford the food that we’re putting in our mouth, can’t afford to move where they pay a better wage, can’t afford rent in the places that we stay, can’t get out of debt and can’t afford a loan, can’t afford to rent and can’t afford to own, can’t afford to go to school and can’t afford not, can’t afford to complain so we’ll probably stop.
Please, some reality check here. I'm not rich but I worked hard to earn what I have and I don't agree that things are dismal as commented on.
@@mikekennedy4572okay boomer
What fascinates and surprises me when listening to you is simply your channel's very strange and biased definition of democracy. Perhaps you should take a lesson in Greek and review the etymology of the term, which means: power given to the people, not power given to the owning or dominant classes. If people reject liberalism in Europe and elsewhere, it is simply because it is not democratic, it does not keep its promises. It is not out of love for authoritarianism but out of rejection of uncontrolled immigration, growing insecurity, and blatant fiscal injustice.
But supporting the far right is the entrenchment of oligarchy and the property owning class. The agenda of controlling cross border flows of people and immigrants is empty because it ignores cross border flows of capital and investment. As long as money, not people represents power, authority amplifies insecurity with the use of force to maintain inequalities and injustices. It is the opposite of democratizing land and wealth by distributing them equally amongst the people.
Because nobody is doing anything about all the disinformation.

Not souring on democracy - souring on Democrats. Big diff.
And yet it is the Republican party giving unconditional support to a man who tried to overturn a democratic election and stay in power illegally.
Huge difference.
@@jockyoung4491 There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for that. You just refuse to accept the truth. The election was rigged.
Democracy also requires you accept election results, like a big boy.
@rsa6388 Have a fair election - in person voting on paper ballots with ID checks and a result on election night - and I'll happily accept the results. If you mail ballots all over the place then stop the count on election night and flip all the swing states over the next week, I'm going to be skeptical.
Q: Why are more young people in the West souring on democracy?
A: Because America's flavor of 'democracy' has become a fk'ing joke.
America isn't a democracy. The founders of this country didn't believe in rule by the mob. I'm happy about that. I don't want to be ruled by the mob.
Because by the people and for the people has become for the rich by lackeys of the rich. Billionaires pay millionaires to train the middle class to despise the poor
@@jonnanderson6489 Trump said poor people were not that bright. Elon Musk said people were poor because they paid taxes. Musk owns no homes, so he doesn't pay property taxes. He used his Tesla stock as collateral to borrow money to fund his lifestyle so he wouldn't have to pay income taxes.
You mean the kind where minorities can band together against the old white patriarchy and get the same rights and consideration? Or do you mean the politicians bought and paid for by billionaires and corporations?
Name the best country where you would like to live. I’ll go first the USA. Go!
Because they have been abandoned and left competing with the massive influx of poor people who have been abandoned and forced to move to try and survive.
Abandoned how? Where do you think all the money is going? it's no secret, your just not allowed to talk about it because capitalism is sacred right?
Or maybe over a hundred billion going to Ukraine and Israel.

Because democracy isn't working for the middle class and tax avoiding billionaires flirt with authoritarianism
Bingo!!!!
So, things are better for the middle class in undemocratic societies? Can you name any examples? Also, what system of government would work better for the middle class?
@@EnglishAbundance Democracy is precisely superior to autocratic regimes, because it is built on the promise of freedom and meritocracy. If you work hard, you can make it in life, and you'll succeed eventually. I'm not saying this is entirely impossible these days, but more and more people are working hard and can't make it anymore. At least it is getting much much harder because of the way the current economic system is set up. This is also one of the key reasons why democracy is eroding more and more, anti-scientism flourishes, and extermists on the left and right are gaining ground in the West.
?? Young people are NOT getting tired of democracy, they are 'getting tired' of CORRUPTION and rightly so! (Rampant corruption has enriched baby boomers for decades, and now America is 33 trillion dollars in debt, and it will take the next 100 years to try and pay it off... imagine you are invited to a friends house for a BBQ, and the host decides he wants to play the board game monopoly, and he decides to change the rules. He decides to be banker and gives himself an extra 2 thousand dollars and he owns Boardwalk and Park Place before the game starts, and he can buy property as soon as he rolls the dice, but everyone else has to pass around the board once, and he never gets put in jail if he lands there. The rules have been set in his favour for him to win, and everyone knows it and they are really 'sour' on the idea of staying and playing the game, BUT the free food and booze keeps them there. (The board game itself was not the problem, it was the blatant corruption of the rules of the game.)
And president tax evading sons who don’t go to jail for cheating on taxes.
Because no one is talking about the cost of living compared to wages! Promote peace globally and start deportations.
So you’re not happy working 3 jobs? Joe says “Think of all the money you’ll save because you won’t have time to spend it “
@@harryfarber6435 Harry's special... and not in a good way.

It’s simple, income inequality is the elephant in the room, but no in power dares to do anything about it.
Yes I agree, Joe is the problem.
Because by the people and for the people has become for the rich by lackeys of the rich. Billionaires pay millionaires to train the middle class to despise the poor
Life is not fair sometimes. Equality will never exist. Socialism and liberal democrats are a great example of that. Both destroy the people they serve.
Because it’s not a denocracy
I like how they just refer to the DNC as Democracy.
The dnc wouldn't even hold primary debates so they could push there president with dementia. That's not democracy.
The irony joe biden also have biliionaire donor😂😂
Neither the right, or left wing, represent the people in 2024… they only represent the rich. The right wing uses outright tax cuts for the wealthy, while the left wing colludes to help corporate America through numerous equally nefarious round-about methods… Today the US is much closer to an oligarchy than a democracy, and that’s due to the help of both parties. Through lobbying, dark money contributions, and other corrupt forms of incentivization, our country has slowly degraded to the sorry state we see today.
Yep. Vote for anyone other than leftists .... that means you don't support democracy! These people are the worst.
😅
People's standard of living has been sliding so rapidly that people are getting desperate the norm isn't working for the majority of the people

Souring on democracy?? Our definition of democracy is empire building and colonizing other countries, while none of the resources trickles down to the citizens
They’re souring on systems that are becoming less and less democratic due to unprecedented wealth and income inequality. More money, more opportunity to buy political influence. Most politicians get sold more often than stocks.
But, hey, what’s a bailout here and there - to persons claiming to be paragons of capitalism. And what are trillions in tax subsidies - to persons claiming to have earned their wealth with no help from anyone else. The locusts have landed, and their hunger is insatiable.
FACTS. Vote. Dammit.
Zelensky's term has ended. When are elections in Ukraine?
I noticed the left support a 21st century dictator too.
Where's my zelensky is a friggin dictator comment. F YT
The greatest sign that democracy is working and is not the problem….is the fact that millions that live under them can think, say, and vote as if it actually is. The alternative of course is any system that doesn’t allow one to think freely, speak freely, or vote based upon any real choice of options. Authoritarians can always use propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation to distract from their shortcomings. They always think they’re winning, until they’re not. Think of the mentality in Italy in early 1942 or Germany in late 1943. It was all very different for them about a year later wasn’t it.
They're not dissatisfied with democracy. They are dissatisfied with chronic dysfunctional democracy. Which is brought about by unchecked money in politics.
Wonder if Repubs can find DC on a map??😂
Stop it! In Europe we don’t have any far right political parties! We have middle and left political parties.

Two things to note about millennials dissatisfaction with democracy: one internal pressure, one external pressure. The external is actually easy to see. Most Millennials were born at the tail end of the Cold War and have largely become adults in a world that has not experienced the absence or retreat of democracy by significant nation-states. That was exactly the world the greatest generation, those who fought WWII, were born into. The other is internal. Several studies out of the U.S. have pointed out that millennials have started adulthood in a worse economic conditions relative to cost of living vs Wages/taxes/inflation than the baby boomers (children of the Greatest Generation born in the post-war boom) and that boomers have held on to generational wealth and power for too long. As a result, Gen X never fully stepped up, can’t economically provide assistance, and thus millennials, who are more engaged politically, more educated, and more diverse, are really as Drake says “starting from the bottom”. Greater inequality equals greater dissatisfaction with democracy.
This. A 1000 times THIS!

neo liberals the reason why iraq, Afghanistan, syria etc.. Are in chaos. Vote AOC and bernie sanders for real change. Enough with moderate joe biden
thank god for young people they hate joe biden so do i😂😂
The United States is a constitutional republic. 🤔
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, (legitimate) Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" ie DEMOCRACY.
It's been a plutocracy from the beginning.
The anchor is british where monarchy rules sitting in abu dhabi talking about democracy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍. Hey bow down to the old king 😜
why is CNN subverting Democracy by not putting RFK Jr. in the debate? he met all criteria polling over 15% in six major polls, on the ballot in enough States to get 270 electoral votes!! RFK Jr. 2024!!
The distinction between our Republic and a democracy is not an idle one. It has great legal significance.
The Constitution guarantees to every state a Republican form of government (Art. 4, Sec. 4). No state may join the United States unless it is a Republic. Our Republic is one dedicated to "liberty and justice for all." Minority individual rights are the priority. The people have natural rights instead of civil rights. The people are protected by the Bill of Rights from the majority. One vote in a jury can stop all of the majority from depriving any one of the people of his rights; this would not be so if the United States were a democracy. (see People's rights vs Citizens' rights)
In a pure democracy 51 beats 49[%]. In a democracy there is no such thing as a significant minority: there are no minority rights except civil rights (privileges) granted by a condescending majority. Only five of the U.S. Constitution's first ten amendments apply to Citizens of the United States. Simply stated, a democracy is a dictatorship of the majority. Socrates was executed by a democracy: though he harmed no one, the majority found him intolerable.

EXAMPLE
Democratic Form of Government: An environmental organization proposes a bill for the ballot that every individual should reduce his water household usage by 25%. To assure that this goal is met, the government, or private sector, will monitor every individual's household water consumption rate. If an individual does not meet the goal, his first offense is $500 fine. Second offense is $750 fine and 30 days community service. Third offense is $1,500 fine and 30 days imprisonment. Fourth offense is $1,750 fine and 90 days imprisonment. Fifth offense is a felony (1-year imprisonment) and $2,000 fine.
The people argue this environmental issue back and forth. They argue the pros and cons of the issue. This great debate is held at town hall meetings. Strong opinions are on both sides of the matter. One side preaches, "It is for the common good!" The other side rebuttals, "This is control and not freedom, and lost of choice!" Election day occurs. The people go to the ballot box to settle the problem. The majority won by a vote of 51% whereas the minority lost with a vote of 49%. The minority is ignored. The majority celebrates while the minority jeers in disappointment. Since the majority won, the bill goes in effect. As a result of the majority winning, every individual must reduce his household water usage by 25%. For the reason that the majority has mandatory powers in a democracy. Those who wish to go against the collective (whole body politic) will be punished accordingly. The minority has neither voice nor rights to refuse to accept the dictatorial majority. Everything is mandatory in a democracy. This brings dictatorship and lividity to the realm.

As a result of the majority winning, it is advisory that every individual reduce his household water usage by 25%. For the reason that the majority has advisory powers in a republic. Bearing in mind that each individual is equally sovereign in a republic, he is free to reject the majority. He may choose to follow the majority and subject himself to the rule, or he may choose not to follow the majority and not subject himself to the rule. The minority has a voice and rights to refuse to accept the majority. Everything is advisory in a republic. This brings liberty and peace to the realm.
COMMENTS
Notice that in a Democracy, the sovereignty is in the whole body of the free citizens. The sovereignty is not divided to smaller units such as individual citizens. To solve a problem, only the whole body politic is authorized to act. Also, being citizens, individuals have duties and obligations to the government. The government's only obligations to the citizens are those legislatively pre-defined for it by the whole body politic.
In a Republic, the sovereignty resides in the people themselves, whether one or many. In a Republic, one may act on his own or through his representatives as he chooses to solve a problem. Further, the people have no obligation to the government; instead, the government being hired by the people, is obliged to its owner, the people.
The people own the government agencies. The government agencies own the citizens. In the United States we have a three-tiered cast system consisting of people ---> government agencies ---> and citizens.
The people did "ordain and establish this Constitution," not for themselves, but "for the United States of America." In delegating powers to the government agencies the people gave up none of their own. (See Preamble of U.S. Constitution). This adoption of this concept is why the U.S. has been called the "Great Experiment in self government." The People govern themselves, while their agents (government agencies) perform tasks listed in the Preamble for the benefit of the People. The experiment is to answer the question, "Can self-governing people coexist and prevail over government agencies that have no authority over the People?"
The citizens of the United States are totally subject to the laws of the United States (See 14th Amendment of U.S. Constitution). NOTE: U.S. citizenship did not exist until July 28, 1868.
Actually, the United States is a mixture of the two systems of government (Republican under Common Law, and democratic under statutory law). The People enjoy their God-given natural rights in the Republic. In a democracy, the Citizens enjoy only government granted privileges (also known as civil rights).
There was a great political division between two major philosophers, Hobbes and Locke. Hobbes was on the side of government. He believed that sovereignty was vested in the state. Locke was on the side of the People. He believed that the fountain of sovereignty was the People of the state. Statists prefer Hobbes. Populists choose Locke. In California, the Government Code sides with Locke. Sections 11120 and 54950 both say, "The people of this State do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which serve them." The preambles of the U.S. and California Constitutions also affirm the choice of Locke by the People.
It is my hope that the U.S. will always remain a Republic, because I value individual freedom.
Thomas Jefferson said that liberty and ignorance cannot coexist.* Will you help to preserve minority rights by fulfilling the promise in the Pledge of Allegiance to support the Republic? Will you help by raising public awareness of the difference between the Republic and a democracy?
