The Mind Games Politicians Use To Win Votes 

_"So politicians try to appear as attractive as possible"_ [3 pictures of politicians who don't look attractive at all] Got a good laugh out of that.

the point on appearance: Is that why Bernie Sanders looks so damn sexy?

That 80's fitness show background music was an interesting choice.

That is one of the flaws of democracy, it makes politics in some sort of "show", rather what is more beneficial. "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others" (c) Churchill

People are sheep

Trump is so popular because he looks gorgeous.

Politicians say what people want to believe is true.

It's important to remember, even the puppetmaster is a puppet themselves.

Bernie Sanders runs a campaign based mostly on hope and perhaps a small hint of revenge towards the 1%.

shows you how every candidate except bernie feels slimey

And with this I believe that I can begin to make a case that emotion is a net detriment to human life.

01:51 Pretty sure thats a dude with a wig on the left.

You can also predict which candidate will win by who blinks the least during a debate.

The take away is that we should only read transcripts of speeches, or just go by their actions in previous positions.

wow, I love the objective view. I hope you make more videos about politics in the future.

Trumps speeches are at a 3rd grade reading level

So now i'm curious, how effective is it being aware of your own subconscious tendencies in terms of making the right decisions?

since i never get caught in their mind games....sadly, most of my country does so we are basically SCREWED no matter what

The background music? Nope.

Beautiful!!

thank you DNews!

Thank you.

I want to remove these emotions from me permanently

hey, d-news, I have a question, why are some beaches blue and others green?

question for DNews, can some or all of the human body be kept functioning in case of massive blood loss or blood poisoning by replacing the blood with an alternate fluid that full fills the same job as blood?

thax for ur help

Shows just how much those aiming for power respects their voters...

Im undecided

This is the main reason why a Representative Democracy is flawed. I'd say you should vote for what values/moral system decisions should be based on instead of a specific person but this would require a complete remake of the governing system today. The main reason why I think voting for a specific moral system instead of a representative is because how the debates would change from a "he said/she said" landscape to deeper conversations about what's right and wrong and hopefully a more scientific method on making decisions assuming you set up the governing system around a scientific evaluation of decisions and not one based on how people feel. Would require HUGE reforms but I think it's doable :)

As much you try to talk to them, because now you can as long you login and they see you online it does not bring any fruits for you labor, but rather they try to thrive on your misery.

give me some tips to how to speack in during local election

Wow 7 years ago was long, the same year my grandpa died

your link to game theory isn't working

Bernie Sanders mind game is substance and facts.............

I feel like this video is missing multiple obvious mind games that people fall sucker too. I was happy that fear mongering was listed but honestly I think it's dwarfed by the big one; if you want to persuade large groups of people, give them simple solutions to complex problems. People hate to be told that situations are complex. They hate problems that have multiple variables that are interconnected and inversely dependent. People absolutely desire the 'silver bullet solution', the overlooked but simply stated solution that will cure all ills, or take care of a particularly sticky problem in a elegant way. Ever want to catch a politician lying, just point to a 'simple solution' that is going to cure a generation years old problem. Nationalism: the cohesive support of laws, institutions, or politicians based on sovereign or cultural solidarity. Many people can suss out the difference between patriotism and nationalism if you give them a few minutes, but get a politician on the stage and some how patriotism becomes nationalism. Since patriotism is fundamentally based on ideals and ethics. As patriot you might be ethically cornered into a situation where you decry and criticize the agenda's of your government, military or laws... but as a nationalist, never. Flattery and antagonism, people are suckers when you tell them how great they are, how wonderful their goals are, how wonderful their children are, and how bad it would be for the former if the 'BIG BAD WOLF' got his way. As such, making someone or some country into a villain is useably linked with fear mongering and flattery but they tend to go hand in hand so you have to be cognizant of both. Immigration is great example of two of these things being combined... who are the villains? Immigrants! Why? Because they are simple solution to multiple complex problems. They come and benefit from social programs that they didn't pay into, they are obviously a vector for drug smuggling and human trafficking. They come and build dangerous communities for gangs and terrorist cells. And they take jobs away from "American Citizens" or "Geman Citizens" or "French Citizens". What?! you thought immigration was just an american issue? Sorry same political tactics are globally implemented. So obviously the simple solution to the is to close your borders. When actually the problem is quite complex because drug and human trafficking isn't dependent on immigrants, people who take advantage of social programs aren't always immigrants or even mostly immigrants. Can you have citizen gangs and terror groups?... hmm yes you can. And of course if you got rid of immigrants it'd solve the wage gap, right?! Hmm could be a globalization thing, plus a couple of other problems rolled in there but I digress. Another one is the tactic of displacement, usually one where a government or political party or person is the savior. FYI people get tired and sick of having responsibilities. Many responsibilities are tiresome involve a great deal of investment. On a side note this could also be titled 'How to become a leader'. All you need to do is take responsibility away from people who don't want it. Bam, your the leader. Vote Obama, for change. Vote Trump, Make America Great Again! It's also a great way to usurp choice away from the general public. Do you want the responsibility of checking whether a product is safe? Let the FDA do it for you, and then when your a Californian who wants to drink unpasteurized milk, you won't have a choice because some else has the responsibility. Do want super cheap medical care? Well you don't have a choice because there are no quack doctors available. Want a cheap massage? I'm sorry all, masseuses are now licensed. Do you want to take a greater interest in foreign policy, domestic policy? Guess what? It's not really your responsibility, so why don't you just sit back down and have a beer. Or you can even link these tactics together and point out that it's the villains fault when things go wrong. Obviously it's all China's, and Iran's fault, because they're responsible. Think I'll stop now.

Does this video apply to school campaigns?

Have you done a video on fluoride, yet?

Or the fear is already there and they sincerely feel it themselves..

what song plays during the video?

From my end and experienced in liberia west africa, politicians read the day to day occuring that negatively affect increasing members of the population then they come out with vocal open analysis like they can solve the problem just to win the mind game.

How to not get tricked by these tricks, Just don't give a shit.

@Dnews Why do we get nervous?

I often vote for the candidate whom I believe to be the least objectionable rather than the most desirable.

why does the self check out robot have a female voice when it speaks english, but it has a male voice when it speaks spanish?

the vast majority of politicians that i deal with do not have the skills to do this - or even know that they can. A select few do, and those are the onre that get ahead. But most politicians are in over their heads.

You know which "politician" has a slimy feel...

Why am i watching this? I'm just planning to get into power by convincing the incumbent to give power to me!

As of 7pm eastern time the Game Theory annotation isn't working. The subscribe one right it after works, so it's not just me. Just trying to help :)

No judgements are ever based on reason, every choice you make is based on emotion. I think you meant 'visceral reaction'.

So... Salesman evolve into Politicians when they level up?

You cant click on the link to the other video.

2:45 very true

2:05 Unless you are Hitler

What is the heaviest element to occur naturally in our bodies?

don't forget the "This issue is the most important issue there is in all existence and "I" will fix it if you only vote for me" Then do everything in their power to make sure that does NOT get fixed...so they can run on fixing it next time "if you'll only vote for me again. I'm the only one that can fix that thing!!" Oh, and the recent practice of "put a bunch of people behind me that nod and say "YEAH" so I look better" It's something called "social proof" if other people are acting a way you're more likely to do the same without even knowing it. It's a douche manipulative move. and it works.

What is Dew?

Politicians are 90% actors and 10% administrators.

Why do I need Matpat to help me get a date D: (Game theory joke)

philippines is having their campaign period :D

And despite all this evidence, there are still people in economics and other areas who try to claim that people are fully rational.

Cool Video

Feel the Bern

Awh. I thought you meant MatPat with Game Theory :(

I live in Canada. we are not stuck with 2 parties. so there is parties aligned better with what I think should be done in my country. it's makes it feel less sleezey to me

"He's not even one of us. He has NY values." "9/11" _applause_

Thinking this is why the founding fathers never intended the common person to pick a leader.

I vote Julia for President!

FEEL THE BERN!

Next video: how RU-vid thumbnails trick you into watching their videos.

Lies are the only thing keeping America alive

Disclaimer* This pertains pretty much to the anglosphere only.

Analyses Julia Wide's posture and voice pit... My God! She is running for president of... youtube?

I was with you until "yet I still vote for them."

Promising free stuff... Just like bernie.

That's why I live in Canada.

Which explains how so many people can be socially engineered to vote for a croo

Those tests must have been performed on US citizens

Ancient times:Uncentralized but highly cooperative groups of 150 people. Modern times:Centralized countries with people who just spend most of their time in the house.

feel the Bern :)

I'm glad my candidate doesn't do that. Feel the Bern!!! Down with THEM!!! s/

Hmmm.

Vote for the candidate who proposes ideas that are demonstrated to work, and who explains exactly how they would do it. You can already here exclude the entire GOP. Then check to see which candidate has been fighting for these ideas since forever, and who isn't taking money from any large corporations. I think we all know who's left.

It's called politics not promises

damn humans

People being reasonable? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA YEAH RIGHT!

what is atc

We all hear what politicans think but never anything they know.

I want a candidate opposing AIPAC

How you feel about politicians is how i often feel about dnews; shaped to have maximum emotional 'clickability'. I wish dnews wasn't overshadowed by Discovery's commercial aproach. Must be hard on you guys. (Sorry for the spelling, im from Holland)

I'm slowly but surely losing faith in America...

When running for any governmental office those who do not use a politically correct strategy are found highly offensive.

iam participating in a 50usd discord event , we have to sing iam going t o rick roll them

Kinda sad how this is genuinely informative to some people, and not a big fat "duh"

Really I never pay attention to little things on that I focus on there ethics and ideals , your incompetent if you pay attention to simple things like movements , height , etc.

Their main thing is lies and promising things. Ron Paul was too honest to win.

The best politician? Honest, loyal to the voters, no lobbyist, true to him/herself, atheist and no right wing nutjob. Of course this kind of politician is a really rare species.
