I like how this video remained neutral by mocking stereotypes and figures from both parties, really don't see this kind of stuff enough

You know what a "popular vote" is called in other countries? A vote.

I don't know much about voting and stuffs. But I think North Korea has the most fair system of voting. You can only vote for one person. No tension no stress. You already know has won even before results are declared

I still have no clue how voting works I say we just have the candidates have a fight to the death these replies got too.. political for me. for clarification, this is a joke

“Here’s where it gets tricky...” Honey, we’re past that.

Okay so basically it's two "things" that matter: 1. Vote and hope that your state wins the majority of the party you voted for 2. Hope that the amount of electoral votes will add up to 270 or more.

“Democrats can rely on Michigan” Well, that changed

Showed a Republican winning California for an example, lol.

Thank you for this video, this is the first time I am actually understanding how it works. No one seems to be able to explain it so clearly

Just get all the candidates to play a Kahoot game and whoever wins will be the president

The states choose the president, not the popular vote. There is no national election. There are 50 separate state elections.

Very informative. Ok, so instead of pushing the "go out and vote" chant, they should really be focusing when it's time to do the census.

I think a better system would be having both candidates duel each other in a Children's Card Game. Edit: dang! 2k likes. Thanks you guys! 😄 Edit again!: 3.5k!!

I still don't know how my vote counts.
