Generally speaking, one of the best explanations of the US political system.
Every single election counts, SMDH USAmericans haven’t learnt shit
unfortunately the video is a very myopic view. Yes are system limits democracy but your are right that every single election counts and its even more reason we have to come out and kick out the extrememely bad forces at work. We all know the nazis were elected.
Obviously you haven’t watched the video.
Look, a video that doesn’t even mention local elections and pretends that voter turnout is 100% in the first minute, just screams russian psyop
Huh. I watched the video, and it didn’t claim anything like 100% turnout in the first minute.
Yes, it did and I quote: “Sure, everyone casts their ballots every 2 years” at 0:35. This has never happened in an election in the USA, the highest voter turnout was 81.8% in 1876. The last time voter turnout was higher than 70% was in 1900. Source: https://ballotpedia.org/Voter_turnout_in_presidential_elections,_1840-2024 The voter turnout numbers are much lower for midterms and other elections, so the choice of words is dangerously misleading
You’re being deliberately obtuse on this. “Everyone goes grocery shopping on weekends” is the same sort of construction, yet it doesn’t actually mean “everyone.” It’s referring to “everyone who votes.”
You are reaching, I interpreted his statement as anybody who can vote, votes, which is nowhere near reality
It was clearly being used idiomatically.
I turned 18 in 1997, and I can’t remember an election where my vote counted. The further up the ballot you go, the less relevance.
