Should I Run for President?? 

EXACTLY

+

I agree with this

But also yes 🙌🏼

But maybe nes, possibly yo

Yep, plus they aren’t even the only person you vote for, there’s two names in every ticket

this 100%

which is exactly why Hank is a good vote tbh. him not wanting the position doesnt make him any less of a better candidate than what we got rn

I think we in wisconsin have made it pretty clear to good ol joe that we'll vote for him as soon as he stops funding the murder of children. It's been 9 months though. Ball's been in his court for a long time, I think he lost it.

Yeah and I would want to vote for hank green compared to trump and Biden who are too fucking old

It is a tiring moment...

Maybe Hank shouldn’t run for president but I’ve seen his stances on a lot of issues and they’re REALLY good. It’s an amazing mix of pragmatic, evidence based while at the same time progressive and idealistic. Granted it may be easier to have the “right” beliefs when you’re not trying to get elected or pass legislation but I think our government would benefit from having more people with Hank’s views in office

Id much rather someone be legislatively incompetent and politically competent than the reverse. The prior runs its wheels for term then ends with all the major problems still existant. I suppose you can argue that politics is really up the public, but then politicians are not actually politicians.

Unless you've been president, nobody has experience. Why does everyone keep saying it?

The people that want to lead shouldn't, and the people that don't want to lead probably should be considered. Hank, if you fell into it, you'd do just fine. Some will say better than fine, and some will say worse.

I get the sentiment, but “good people who were presidents” and “good presidents” aren’t the same thing, and I don’t think gumption and good will can substitute experience.

@@terdragontra8900 maybe, but I argue that your observation suffers from an extremely lacking sample size

@@terdragontra8900 I don't think all the experience in the world can substitute for being a good person, either.

Love this comment ❤

For a split second I thought he was going to pivot to like "that's why I want to be a State Representative in ". It would have been a sellout, but it would have been a good pitch.

Reminds me of the quote from Catch-22 :) Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to.

My husband forbid me from politics as a condition of our marriage. I'm just insane enough to think id make good president.

Divergent?

100000% agree. Anyone who wants that power should not have it lol

So we end up with a hitchhiker trilogy scenario, where a man ruling the universe just sits in a hut, removed from all worldly concerns, swinging the whole world about while sitting cozy with a cat by the fire and not a care in the world

you have to already be pretty mentally ill to think you are good enough to be in charge of 300 million people

and, potentially, the person themselves

Destiny is surely worth more than your health, no?

@@OsirusHandlesince destiny doesn’t exist, only humans with varying amounts of drive, resources, and ability… Yeah. Yes. Definitely.

The problem with the presidency is that the people who are capable of doing it well have too much sense to want the job.

I somewhat agree. That's a bit of a double-edged sword since you're then almost entirely reliant on other people to make the right decisions about certain things. Yes, you can absolutely be discriminatory about who to trust and understand their motivations. But with the sheer volume of people required for an administration, there's no way you're going to completely avoid letting a few important decision fall into the hands of someone who has nefarious intentions. All that being said, I'm sure even that is already so much better than what we currently have that it would be like night and day.

Technocracy

​@@Tawleynwhat's the alternative? someone who thinks they know everything?

@@ADarnSmore "Everything" is a bit of a loaded term there, don't you think? No, I don't mean the alternative is to know "everything." There's a reason why a politician's experience used to be important.

Precisely this. Like I recognise they would never get enough votes and like Tawleyn said it wouldn't be a foolproof way to avoid corruption and bad politics so it's always a half joke, but boy does it seem like it would at least be some amount better than what we have now.

Oh, and functional empathy

@@brokenrecord3523 I know what a parasocial relationship is, but not sure how it relates? And what do you mean by that is what got us Trump? He’s the opposite of most of the things I listed.

​@@SirakeJohn is taking July off. He talked about it in his last video.

@@rosemaryklauscher9389 thankyou, I missed that one

You've got years to build experience before you're the ripe age for running for presidential primary

Fun fact. Obama had basically no experience when he ran for president. This video is just a bad take.

That’s a high bar to clear

Currently the US president has more power than any one person should have. It is too much power and responsibility. Hopefully the US will eventually see this and either remove powers from the presidency and disperse those powers to other government entities as appropriate or separate the presidency into multiple offices thus dividing the power and responsibility among multiple elected officials instead of a single one.

Well, if. Trump gets in, they absolutely won’t…. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025

⁠@@peterwein1716This is, and I’m trying not to be rude, an absolutely terrible idea. It also doesn’t even make sense in the context of the American government. If you did divide up the power of the president you’d need to create a separate branch of government for each new position you create. Otherwise you’d change nothing at all, because the president is the head of the executive branch and all who work within it will have to carry out the president’s lawful orders. So you’d be in the same situation with a couple of extra steps. Also, ignoring the supreme court’s insane ruling on immunity, the president does not possess an inordinate amount of power compared to other countries and their executive bodies. Every democratic country requires a strong executive who can quickly respond to new situations while Congress or parliament convenes and argues.

Exactly. We need someone like him to take it over because they would finally bring sense into it. The whole system is nonsensical right now. We need someone who hasn't been benefiting from the corruption

If Hank Green doesn't want to be in charge of the US government, he is EXACTLY who should be in charge of the US government.

The rest of that story pretty strongly suggests that we should treat "great men who are called to lead" with more that a little bit of skepticism.

Yeah, after that Paul Atreides becomes emperor and kills 61 billion people. So maybe not the best example😬

@@siddharthbhatia8815 Maybe I do not want him to become president

Your comment reminds me of a scene from The Simpsons where Marge tells Homer (paraphrasing) "you don't have to do every single thing just because it is offered to you" 😂

@Alfonso162008 oh that quote fits perfectly!

What's funny is that Kamala isn't even popular, and nobody knows what good she has done.

Sounds like a dream compared to the situation we have now. But… it’s understandable why it’s not the most practical. This public figure would also have to lead the armed forces, and go up against people who care nothing of the truth, and use lies and slander routinely

It would be amazing

We already do, in so many ways. Hank and John are very public figures, they're just not politicians. The good that they're doing is tangible and meaningful, and the nuance and critical thinking skills they teach is important. If Hank Green were to become a politician, his job would be significantly changed - he could no longer be the educator you see him as now. Better to vote in your local elections, and get involved. Change isn't fast, but if voters make it clear that something's not working, elected official risk losing if they don't listen, and that's powerful.

i kinda feel like they should be running against each-other

I just want people to know that I would also not be /good/ at it.

​@vlogbrothers I believe in you! No but I actually would. Still, I'd like you to not age 50 years in 4 like most presidents.

@@vlogbrothers Honestly Hank, I think that while being president is a complex job, a lot of it does have to deal with not necessarily knowing everything yourself, but surrounding yourself with the best people who do know what they're doing and can help inform you. I think part of the reason why Trump got next to nothing done was simply because he didn't want to hire people who knew what they were doing, he wanted "yes men" who wanted to do what he wanted. I still don't think someone who hasn't previously had a position in government would necessarily do as good of a job/be as efficient as someone who's been in some sort of government position prior, but I think that they could get some good stuff done if they really wanted.

@@P-Mouse There you go. We could finally stop voting for the lesser evil and instead debate endlessly about who would be the greater good! Wouldn't that be a nice change.

Exactly why my aunt persuaded my cousin against running for a local office.

exactly! whatever you say about trump/biden, no one could do it better!

Same.

Have you seen the glassdoor reviews of complexly when Hank was the CEO?

Honestly, taking the time to research every single person on my ballot (as well as i can - BOY some of those people don't even have facebook pages) is honestly the only marginally enjoyable part of elections. I get to learn a little more about the small local positions and what people hope to do with them.

@@amberbydreamsart5467 I love it!! I always offer to help friends who might be a bit less up to date on local issues. Some organizations (like the teachers union) also will make a sample ballot with their recommended candidates.

And spending a term as a state congressman can give him useful experience to one day, for example, running for federal office. ;)

Me too! I’ve always been an advocate for voting in local elections but now I’m a really big advocate for it because it determines how hard the next couple of years of my life are going to be.

@@EducatedNation2 yeah i think people often don’t realize that the more localized an election the more impact it has on your everyday life.

So much this. Empathize and humanize all you want, but the sad reality is that a lot of people aren't good people.

"It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. ... Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.” ― Douglas Adams, _The Restaurant at the End of the Universe_

​@@zekeoman1 It's truly perplexing how unfit for power anyone who wants power is. When I saw the title of this video I immediately knew the answer was no. Hank isn't interested in that, and we all know it. But who the hell is both interested in being president, and fit for it? No one. And yet we need a president... Right?

And that's the great American Paradox!

Big disagree and "deserve" is subjective.

​@@forkyforkoh wow, I never realized Plato was talking about America! /s

I would gladly have accepted Bernie as both wanting and deserving it. I struggle to find more than extremely minor complaints about anything he's done. And no, I'm not going to not vote because Bernie lost. I'm annoyed he lost and I honestly think the 2020 loss was largely due to the democratic party (especially the powerful high up figures like Obama and the Clinton's) fearing him more than they feared a Trump victory. It definitely seemed suspicious when he did pretty well early on and suddenly lots of top candidates just dropped out after a few early primaries... regardless, I'm getting conspiratorial and on a completely unrelated tangent anyway.

Yes! We should have a draft with some sort of selection process. Perhaps one 6 year term and massive bonus to make up for it being involuntary

reminds me of the professor from the movie Atlantis!

Did it? I don't remember, I couldn't stop looking at his curly hair.

Thank you! Like all of my best shirts, someone else bought it.

You'll never have nice shirts if people keep buying them from you! Not everything has to be a business, Hank.

no one would vote for a bunch of dorks like you

Sadly I don't think the math works out like that🫠

It’s not about math it’s about doing the right thing for the right reasons!!!!!!

Well...yes...

​​@vlogbrothers please run for predident once you get experience 🤣

A wasteland.

Especially because he was considered old back then but younger then than those running now...

This always hits me so hard. He had such a following in 2016, until Super PACs chose Hillary, and...here we are today, still feeling the effects of that monumentally short-sighted decision.

@@lekeAchgeketum I'm not even an American and it hits me hard as well.

My thought is Bernie is too genuine for being the Democrat head. Same with trump but he managed to get past what the Republicans threw at him.

I'd be way more excited to hear that Hank ran for his local school board. There are so many local elected offices where people can make a real difference, but we tend to only focus on the big, flashy ones.

Yeah no I’d rather see him in small government.

It's a bad idea for anyone with no experience in politics to run for any major office. Good intentions are not enough. Better to train up some nice 17-year olds in political science or law and get them into local government and have them work their way up.

exactly

You can learn morality and selflessness, but it’s certainly much, much harder. I think you’re right that Hank could learn, and I would definitely vote for him, but running means going through all sorts of lies and slanders. And he might not even succeed cuz people aren’t the smartest.

Not all reluctant ppl are the best... Cmon think for a moment

We are not born with morality or selflessness or any other trait, all of that is a combination of nature and nurture (imo it’s overwhelmingly about who you were taught to be). Governing an entire country is something that is quite hard, and for a job like president of the US, that’s not something you can afford to do on the job. I agree that Hank is a great guy, but part of the problem with modern politics is that we vote for who we like instead of who will be good at the job.

While true that Hank might not be the best qualified, it is also true that so long as people who could make a difference decide to abstain from the process, nothing will change. If everyone were to wait until they were ready, nobody could run at all. The most important quality in a leader is humility, and the ability to listen to the right people, at the right times. The president, after all, has a literal army of people to manage their duties, and a monstrosity of state apparatus and bureaucracy with all of the experience and knowledge they may lack. After that, it's their ability to communicate and rally the people to actually create a specific narrative and direction for the country. The president, despite the Supreme Courts best efforts, is not in fact a dictator. They are an overseer and executive - not a micromanager. Hank's experience doing what he does is probably more relevant than you think - juggling a large number of organizations and individuals, while gaining the kind of generalist knowledge that lets you make good decisions about who and what to trust. There are certainly more experienced people who would be better suited, but the best option is also the one who can actually win and do any good at all. None of them matter if they have no chance. Idealistically, he is correct, of course. There should be a process, and a career, and reputation and experience and relationships, blah blah blah. Yet, I think he would also do better than basically anybody else who is in serious contention. His current mission is very important, obviously. And maybe he can do more good there than in politics. Yet I am left with the question... Who, then?

literally someone with 34 felonies cant even vote in america, but they can run for president?

@@hellolily7722literally! They can’t hold a normal job, can’t live in certain neighborhoods, can’t vote, can’t drive, can’t own pets (depending on the crime (s)) and we’re letting someone with 34 felonies run for office while people are in prison for just having a gram of pot in their person for 10+ years, even after marijuana has been decriminalized in a lot of places?

/genuine - did we elect celebs before the 1900s?

@@geeksdo1tbetter I don't think you can really say that we had celebrities back then in the same way we do now. Before the 1900s mass media was like... books and newspapers. Entertainers didn't have nearly the reach they would achieve with radio, film, and eventually the internet.

@@MikeJones-vk3wz Ulysses S Grant would definitely have counted as a celebrity since he was a war hero.

@@MrBrock314Right, but it kinda falls apart there because he literally had leadership experience.

​@@MrBrock314 I think the issue is with professional celebrities, people whose primary job is to be famous. But it does feel like an inherent problem of democracy: as society and technologies progress and let people focus more on their leisure, the people's urgency to elect capable candidates gets lower. It feels like there's an unfortunate trajectory inherent to democracy: 1. People see how shit life can be and use their vote as a tool to improve their lives 2. Over time, people's lives get better and they start focusing more on entertainment and leisure (this is a good thing) 3. As day-to-day gets progressively more light-hearted, serious things (like voting) get less of a focus 4. Eventually entertainers see politics as another niche to fill and start running for office: politics as entertainment gains traction 5. Voting becomes a form of audience participation, rather than a tool to improve lives (this differs from dystopias where votes don't matter, because here they do still matter: Biden winning the US presidential elections leads to a markedly different world than him losing) Weirdly enough, I think we're reaching a kind of post-seriousness utopia/dystopia (a sillytopia, if you will) that wasn't even considered when the concept of democracy came about, and which it isn't well-equipped to handle. I have no clue what the next solution is, for now the only thing I can think of is mindfully taking our votes seriously to try to compensate for it, but that's a solution for individuals, not society.

While true that he might not be the best qualified, it is also true that so long as people who could make a difference decide to abstain from the process, nothing will change. If everyone were to wait until they were ready, nobody could run at all. The best candidate is the one who can make a difference. Not the best one in theory, but the one who can actually win. And because our traditional systems are so broken, it is probably going to take people with alternative standing and recognition, like Hank, in order to usurp the quagmire we are in. Because the people who are more qualified have no chance at all.

@@XIIchiron78 I think Hank has the three qualities I listed. As much as could be hoped for; there is no perfect candidate. The problem with self-aware people is they know their limits and can't muster the confidence to match those who don't. I would vote for Hank. He's smart and caring. The rest can be learned.

It is really important for us to remember that Trump cannot just do everything he says he's going to do...and that probably, if he is president again, he will try and bluff and bluster his way into doing things that he does not have the political power to get done. If we pretend that his threats are real when he is in power, he will have that power over us. We'll need to constantly remind the world that this is still our country.

​@@vlogbrothershe couldn’t do everything he wanted in the first term just because of career bureaucrats who got in the way. He’s learned from that and had plans to replace them all with loyalists: “Schedule F”. That’s part of the plans to expand presidential power should _any_ Republican take control of the executive branch again (Project 2025). In addition, recent rulings from the SCOTUS have shown that the judicial branch is willing to give a Republican executive carte blanche to do whatever they want. We can’t let that happen.

His undisguised aims at autocracy, should be a point of worry. It seems unlikely that current legislation offers sufficient protection against authoritarianism. There are probably good reasons why The Economist Democracy Index rates the US as a flawed democracy as opposed to a full democracy. When it's gotten to the point of other nations updating their constitutions to protect against "trumpian" political influence over the judicial system, that's not a great sign. If I were American, I would vote for a literal chipmunk over Trump at this point.

I'd still take that risk over the people running I know are outright shit

Even if they do continue to be the fantastic people you've known them to be, the job will require them to make decisions you won't like or understand, because it is clear to someone with all of the context that it is the least bad choice.

Having been a person with power, I think it is just as likely that they don't stop being fantastic people but instead: 1. Are in situations where they have to make brutal compromises that no one has the time or interest to understand. 2. Are in situations where small differences of opinion or values are magnified. 3. Do not act very quickly because their own power intimidates them. 4. Are constantly barraged by people trying to obliterate them and so they become extremely careful. A thoughtful person with power is still a powerful person, and part of what we don't like about powerful people is that they are not acting exactly how we would, and part of the reason they are not acting exactly like we would is because they are powerful. This is certainly not always the case, but I have seen it close up.
