Why Most Americans Say They Want to Overhaul the System 

You guys are just as deceived as the rest of the world

Agreed but continuing to participate in a captured system is not the way to get out of it.

At this point I'd accept them shamefully spending the money on healthcare, education and homelessness for another country instead of us. Oh.... oh wait.... Israel!

That's not fair you , it would hurt the elite😂😂😂

They always spend on wars instead of their own country

That is so true! The system is broken, mainly due to political correctness, and a lack of enforcing your laws on the books! You DEMONCRATS, and Retrumplikins has lost the balance between truthful beneficial politics for the people; and those laws that benefit rich powerful lobbyists who have gained control of this country, to degrade AMERICA INTO ruin!

Well said! 👍👍👍But who's going to initiate and lead the revolution? Nobody in America is qualified to make the change, so it's a case of kicking the can down the road.

Impossible to have a People's Revolution without labor unions and single-payer healthcare. Americans don't strike or boycott because they have no solidarity or collective power, and they could lose their employer-sponsored government-subsidized health insurance. Employer-sponsored government-subsidized health insurance was designed with this in mind: it's one of the most effective ways to atomize and silence the working class.

Exactly! Age these days do not mean "more experience" any longer as it once used to. The world has changed and has been moving ahead faster than ever before - technologically and socially. We need a younger blood generation in politics who knows and understands the people, the country and the technological age we live in - not 80 and 90 year old geriatrics who don't know the meaning of "meta data" or even how to program a VCR (not that these exists any longer today) and have a memory only of the world that was 30 - 40 years ago and no vision of what the nation can strive for to reach in 30 to 40 years into the future. If we are to only compare some REAL leaders of the past to the very poor offerings we have today, we can easily see the real difference between them. Remember when a REAL American leader gave his people a VISION, a glimpse of a future that everyone else said was impossible at the time? At Rice University, this leader told his nation that, "we go to the moon not because it is easy but because it is hard .... we shall land a man on the moon and bring him back safely to the earth before the end of the decade ...." That leader INSPIRED not only his entire nation to take up the challenge but the rest of the world in the 1960s. That leader was JFK - who is still remembered today. He didn't reach for the easy low-hanging fruits of popular policies and politics even though he was popular. He created enemies - very powerful ones - but was unafraid. Yes, he paid the ultimate price but he was a true leader. We should use such people as examples and standard by which we judge who may be worthy to lead us. It is unfortunate and scary that at this time, we have none at the bottom of the barrel but wrinkled, dried-up apples that are slowly rotting away.

Both candidates are culturally and politically Beasts. Go ahead and feed the apparently cherished Ageism you hold so close and wallow in so blithely, as if youth were never clueless.

I'm one of those old men... and I agree with you. Both candidates are unfit to hold public office for different reasons -- Biden's a genocidal Neoliberal & Trump's a mentally unstable fascist & crook. One thing on bald display is how UNREPRESENTATIVE this government has become & corruption is to blame, along with a nasty & selfish ruling class.

It's not about age. It's about ability and the desire to do what is best for the nation. Both Putin and Xi Jinping are older men, but are extremely competent and popular leaders. Neither are professional politicians. Putin is a lawyer and an economist and Xi Jinping is an engineer.

Nobody wants Jill Stein, none of our “third parties” are viable. We need something new

Cornel West '24'!

Donors decide elections. Not voters.

Letting people buy elections is the most liberal thing there is.

Democracy….. ahhh. Don’t you just LOVE IT ! ? A land where government DOES what the people actually WANT & NEED ! Oh dear…You NEVER had that mate. NEVER will.

I mean, just look at their schoolyard behaviour where “point scoring” put-downs of other elected members of parliament is considered a “win”! Essentially most of them are “bully salesmen” who try to persuade and bribe you, that ONLY THEIR ideas are great (vote for MEEEE). Sadly, ALL parties do the same - Was designed to be like that !! The notion that ALL the PEOPLE HAVE CLEAR NEEDS is not even considered!!. Another childhood dream is that “Competition” yields the best results! This has some truth, but only in the very short term!.

Till you get to Trump..;...

Bro it's far deeper than that, what electoral system (riddled with vulnerabilities) got you those things in the first place?

Well, you voted Pumpkin.....

Even if you don't do politics, politics are going to do you. Vote, and I'd suggest Jill Stein, but even if you don't vote for president there is other important things to vote for.

@@barefootvibes8896 The issue persists: Pres. Truman The Korean War (1950-1953); Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson & Richard Nixon The Vietnam Era (1955-1975); George H. W. Bush The Gulf War (1990-1991). It's an endless list

Proven correct? Lmao

Yes you were correct. It was always obvious that Biden was worse. A Prez with dementia should never be allowed to be Prez in the first place

How’s he worse? Everyone blames him for the economy even tho it was the fed in 2020 starting this downward spiral. So what is it

@@RobertNight1 a Prez should never have dementia & no voter should ever let themselves be so manipulated & terrified by the media into actually voting for a nursing home patient. Throw the worst VP ever into the mix & Biden is a lot worse overall

I remember the US Green Party talking industrial hemp back in the early-mid 2010's. But almost no one cared, and here we are. People are still acting like its the 20th century when we're living on a different planet from 30 years ago. I don't see any significant mass behavioral changes that reflect a deeply held desire for an environmental economy.

@@MicheleLLOYD-bk2mt From what i've heard on the 'Jerry's Take on China' channel, china practices a council democracy, where your peers, your superiors, and your subordinates all get a veto in your potential promotion. All to make sure that regardless of who gets selected, the wrong people do NOT GET INTO POWER. They simply have too many people that could be affect by one bad decision, so their system tries its hardest not to let demagogues, psychopaths and liars get into positions of power.

Keep voting. The changes since the 70's are breathtaking.

or better yet stop the "cult" mentality and vote choice b or c and never pull a again

Agree 100% - the U.S. election system has far too much money being spent involved. It is a race between who can reap in the most donations and spend the most in advertising and marketing themselves than in those who has the best policies to build the nation and best plans forward that would INSPIRE the people - and not more hubris. The U.S. should adopt a compulsory voting system that would do away with the need to have to spend so much in self-promoting ventures. On top of all this, there should be FAR LESS lawyer types selected and elected and more philosophers, thinkers, planners, economists, technocrats and those who have PROVEN THEMSELVES in having a PORTFOLIO of ACTUAL RESULTS than "popularism" - people selected for their "pretty faces" (movie actors, TV personalities, snake-oil salesmen, etc).

@@MicheleLLOYD-bk2mt Always said that in a tug-o'-war or any team event, the team that pulls together and works together, have a greater chance of winning than the team that quarrels and bickers among one another with differences of opinion and differences in aims and pulls in opposite directions to one another. In our democratic, "free-for-all", system, the political team is like those who work against one another just because each political side is regarded as competitors. The ONLY time when both sides worked together almost coherently as one was during the major war years (WW1 and WW2). Imagine if the two parties have behaved "normally" working against each other during those years! Yet, during peace times, they are both at war against one another - and not for the good of the common people and the nation as a whole. This is a form of insanity and it has been allowed to go on for far too long already - not for the betterment of the country nor for the good of the people except for those who enjoy watching a battle royale of words between two antagonistic parties come election time.

The U.S. Founding Fathers even have doubts whether the U.S. republican democratic system will work. They saw it as a bold EXPERIMENT that needed to be "tweaked", to be adapted and changed accordingly "for the people". However, instead of that, the successors have the Constitution placed in a cryogenic frozen state, immutable, unchanged as though the U.S. is still deep in the 18th century and never emerged from 1783.
