      When you want power that bad there isn't exist such thing as bad/good, sincere/liar anymore... Trump himself is the main exponent of truth/lie. Also, if you get a seat at some of the State Rep. Houses, or even in the Hill, suddenly it is like you've just reachd Level GOD in the Game Of Trolls. The automatically have the I Don't Go to Jail in Poligamy... Eeergh... I mean, Monopoly. This is the game of politics, and since a clown was POTUS now the people of his party, instead of trying to go for the presidency without stole they prefer follow the path that ended with the Orande Clown ruling? The world; First they make a name Brin normal people. When they are known for the people of their County, they pass to step 3; they begin to act like if they would've been possessed by some kind of an alien that, as alien they are, they don't have a clue of how to behave without they have a mental age of 4.

    • @lawrencedoliveiro9104
      @lawrencedoliveiro9104 Год назад +60

      Making every vote count the same is called “proportional representation”. It’s how voting works in Germany; the system was put in place after World War II to ensure that a dictator could never take power there again. And it worked so well, we here in NZ copied it.
      It does almost inevitably lead to coalition politics: you get a range of political parties in Parliament, none with a clear majority, so they need to figure out how to work together to get things done. But most of us see that as a feature, not a bug.
      Time for the US to give it a try?

      Here in the UK (I recently moved home), we can petition Parliament on any issue. If a petition gets more than 100,000 signatures, it has to be considered/ debated in the House of Commons.

      The Founding Fathers were some of the most progressive thinkers of their time. They would not be clinging to a 250-year old idea. If they somehow appeared today, they'd want to know where the hell the idea of progress in society went.
      From the Jefferson Memorial in DC:
      "I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind.
      As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times.
      We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors."
      (Thomas Jefferson)

As a 63-year-old liberal white guy living in the middle of a red state, in the middle of the Midwest, I appreciate Seth's commentary everyday... Seth and his writers definitely know what the hell is going on, and wrong, with this country and they point it out to us every night on national teevee! Another thing I gotta admit is that before the pandemic I really didn't watch this show much. But as a nurse working overtime in a large urban hospital during this entire COVID pandemic I would come home at night, or in the morning, and before I went to sleep I would listen to Seth and Stephen Colbert and Trevor Noah as each one of them told me how this country was so fucked up, and what we needed to do to fix it...with humor! I have literally watched people die from covid because they wouldn't get vaccine which could have protected them, because Trump and his scumbag co-conspirators at Fox News kept telling people they couldn't trust the vaccine, even though every goddamn one of them had been vaccinated as soon as possible. I hate these Trump MAGAt Republicans with the heat of 1,000 Suns. It gave me hope that we might be able to beat these fascists in my lifetime!
