What If We Had And Election And Nobody Voted? | Lewis Black's Rantcast

- This week on the podcast Lewis ponders what would happen if we all just collectively decided not to vote in the 2024 Presidential Election. This is because of a group of people that just don't feel energized by this year being a rematch of the 2020 election. In one corner a probably insurrectionist and in the other a person who might've done some good but no one seems to hear him. But the lethargy doesn't seem to end with the White House as most of Congress seems to be running in the opposite direction of progress.
The rants this week range from the political to the silly. We're even treated to a rebuttal of a previously submitted rant. It's a live one!

Hi Lewis.
Love your stuff. Particularly because it involves input from your creatively disturbed subscribers. Lol
Are you ever coming back to Canada...that is if you've ever been here?

Right!?
I’m five years your senior and you express my angst and anger with every rant cast. I heard you say once, “The good die young, and pricks live forever!!!” You said it well! Love you and your rant casts!
That may explain why I'm getting so old. All my "nice" friends died young. Go figure.
“Anyone who has what it takes to have themselves made president should on no account be allowed to do so.”
-Douglas Adams
A Presidents job is not to wield power, but to draw attention away from it. Very wise man, Mr Adams.
The Speaker of the House believes The Flintstones is a documentary!
IOWA - Idiots Out Wandering Around - 🤣😂🤣😂
I'm crying about the kilt story. I can't....gasp...😂😅
Good morning
Frank Zappa said it'd go like this
Shame on us all.
"And they said it couldn't happen HERE."
We're F**ked! 😵💫
It’s the two party system. In Europe, IF one party goes crazy, there is more than one alternative. IF BOTH major parties, in European countries, go crazy, there are alternatives. In the U.S.? Not so much.
I’m writing in Bozo the Clown. If we are going to vote in clowns I at least want to see the big red nose and shoes!
Good morning, Lewis!
I totally agree. It's ridiculous what our politics has become.
I'm in Tennessee and my ex-father in law has a farm and a huge vegetable garden well, it's an acre big and the corn and other veggies I get from him are awesome. Also, he has a chicken farm on the other side of the house. He's on 2 acres. And I can tell you there is a big difference between those eggs and the eggs at the store.
You would get my vote Mr. Black!
He wouldn't want it. That's the whole point.
Man, I so hear you. You make it fun to be pissed off about things that just plain shouldn't be a problem!
This is why some of the founders of the US constitution didn't want political parties. They saw how fucked up they were in the english parliament and said, "Uh-uh! No! No thank you!" 😣
Those same people immediately made and joined political parties.
So disgusting about the government
It's fucking amazing. Dems says this is what we want to do for the people". Repus say in turn " we ain't doing that ". Nothing gets fucking done.😡😡😡😡
all those cuts to mental health care have really paid off for the republicans...!!
BOTH parties did it. Mental health reform, and the closing of mental hospitals, began with JFK. BUT, back then, they were performing lobotomies on homosexuals. It was a bit extreme, compared to today.
Thank you Lewis, I have been saying both of them are 2 old. Now that I know you agree, I feel like I'm not alone!
You're definitely not alone. I imagine most sane people feel the same. I honestly wonder if either one of them will make it for 4 more years.
@@lesliewolfe7643 I know.....I mean Kamala is a little younger, but we didn't hear much out of her the last 4 years, and who knows who Trump will pick.....I bet it's not Pence! 🤣
@@michaelhuling3588 I am so disappointed in Harris. First woman vice president and she did absolutely nothing. Way to represent us lady 🙄
Both are INCONTINENT.
😙💩🤡
LEWIS BLACK Here' ya go...your fourth-party candidate !LEWIS BLACK FOR PREZ!!!!!
The fourteenth time in my life. But sorry, Lewis, this time we need to vote.
It's the media who decides for us. All states should primary on the same day, just like the election. Why should Iowa decide for the rest of the country?
And there is an option, but we never here about him because he is running as an independent and the media doesn't want that.
It's a three way system. Democrats, Maga, and Republicans. I'm a Republican and have no candidate to vote for.
If you care to retain a democracy hold your nose and vote for Biden. Then in four years you can vote whatever conservative flavor you like. Re-electing Trump will trash the principles our country was founded upon, chances are our republic will not stand.
Mike Johnson is a JOHNSON!
Your comment offended my penis.
Dear Lewis, At 27 minutes, you mentioned having “corn in Illinois, just outside Mansfield, Ohio at Kenyon college where they produced”your play. Mansfield, Ohio, however, is in NE Ohio, near Oberlin college, not near Illinois. I’m from Columbus and my best friend went to Kenyon, which is in SE Ohio in Gambier. Oh and by the way, I was the one who wrote the “Wanda” rant you read last July, about my narcissistic roommate! 😂
Yep, you don't have to pump your own gas in NJ 😊
Thanks for a hilarious video.
I wonder why that is
We're not allowed to in Jersey!!!
I love your nihilistic humor! But I love voting. I think the real problem is the appointed government.
Thanks for saying it! 👏💯
In the end, We get the government that We Deserve. The end of the Republic is near.
Time to get used to the Empire.
Completely agree w Lewis - up to the point where he actually starts touting the thieving Joe Biden puppet because he "shows up where or when he's supposed to." I can't recall that.
Love to you Lewis!
I wish people would stop using the "F" word. Just because the country is, doesn't mean we have to be reminded constantly! 🤯
My sentiments exactly
The guy in the corn field needs to connect with the kilt wearer..!
AMEN LEWIS AMEN!
Sir Black, if there was a Cosmic cup and we filled it with all the knowledge of mankind from the beginning of time. It would still be empty.
Lewis , ( Everything that has a beginning has an end ). Humanity peaked a while ago. Take it easy but take it.
Mr Black it's like groundhog day, it's the comet going to kill us or what
It’s like watching two kids fighting over their toys in a sand box🤓
Hey Lewis, I'm Happy To See That You've Have Seen The Light. Because In My 62+ Years I've Been Saying For At Least 30 Years When The Two People That We Are Handed As Are Chose For Are Fearless Leader Are Not Fit To Lead Themselves Even To The Bathroom ! ! ! I've Been Telling People If Every One Just Didn't VOTE. You Think Maybe Somebody Might Notice. What Do Think About That. That Is Why I've NEVER VOTED FOR ANYONE IN MY LIFE.
I confess I have always had hope. But it is now waning. To have never voted, you must have seen from an early age this ludicrous hypocrisy that used to be a democracy.
Was a sham
@pac3br I used to not vote bc I was uninformed. Now I don't vote bc I am informed.
Its embarrassing
Simple choice this year lesser of 2 Evils and Congress also tools on court point taken thanks.👍
See you in Portland!
You'd get a choice between bad and worse. So we vote for the lesser of two evils. It's all theater anyway. I don't bet on wrestling. A lot of us are going to be dead in the next 20 years. We're like our country too far gone to care.
I concur Lewis- break something.
The sitting President ALWAYS runs for a second term. We bought that ticket 4 years ago. Now take the ride.
Shout-out to Mansfield, Ohio!
Fear got us here
GREED got us here.
We're wrong with us Lewis. The people have let the government get out of hand. We vote for a politician that is for our one personal belief. Doesn't matter if they have any ideas on fixing anything else.
no body votes excepts the candidates and congress... we still lose
I miss the chicken
I would say to, Nobody... Great job! give them a thumbs up with a nod flick and continue with my day.
Nobody wanted them, but still voted for them regardless.
You are TOTALLY CORRECT ..
unfortunately!
I have said for years "DO OVER"!
Acts 2:38 before it's too late.🎉
Pronunciation of Orono is as follows: or-oh-no.
Start - stop gives the vehicle an extra 1/2 mpg. That’s all! And yes, it is hard on the battery.
I am never selling my old truck!
we should tell people not to vote, if thats what they want.
We're not allowed to pump it in Jersey!!!
none of the above and let the dictator choose
And Barcelona…..????
I have never not voted in a Presidential election but I like your idea.
Voting for Cornel West for president who's running third party
I’m voting Libertarian. No major party candidate, for President, should get over 40% of the popular vote.
@@HVACSoldierIt doesn't matter what anti vote you cast, if you don't vote for Biden your vote becomes a de facto vote for Trump. If that's who you want in office, so be it. I prefer to side on keeping a democracy in place.
@@ongogablogian8568 But, you’re probably a progressive Democrat. You are going to vote Democrat no matter who it is. As for me, I don’t trust either party.
@@HVACSoldierI am a registered Democrat but live in a big city that has been run for the last 70 years by a corrupt political system. I vote Republican locally as an anti vote, to show my displeasure. No one cares, it doesn't matter, the Democratic candidate will always win. I do this for shits and giggles. This presidential election is not for shits and giggles, every vote is important, very important. I don't trust either party myself, mine is more of a vote for the lesser evil. But, as far as I can see, it's the GOP who has gone off the rails. So hold your nose, vote Biden to preserve our Constitution, then in four years you can vote for any flavor you want. I do feel that the foundation of our democracy is truly at risk this time around.
@@ongogablogian8568 What happens in 2028, when the Republican Party nominates someone worse than Trump? What then? What happens in 2032, when the Republicans nominate someone worse than who they nominated in 2028? Here’s the thing, since 1960 Republicans have nominated Nazis, and Democrats have nominated Marxists. That’s what Democrats and Republicans say every four years.
No…I’m 69, and happen to be familiar with the term “hottentot”…. Now considered offensive. But to ban Mary Poppins…. Pretty ridiculous!
Stop/Start is awesome. It saves 15% in gas.
Love your profile pic! What's his name? I don't remember 🤔
@@lesliewolfe7643 It’s Sweetums. 😁
Why would i vote? I live in West Virginia, so the few electorial votes will go to Trump. If my vote is the only way i can help stop trump, then i aint got nothin!
Lewis - Thanks for all the smiles and laughter. But please, before you come to Maine, learn to pronounce Orono. The accent is on the first syllable: OR'-on-ō. Your audience will appreciate it.
Unqualified lawmakers playing to the mentally disadvantaged. This explains why Hell is now a ghost town.
Wonder who will be VP this election?
I thought it was homelessness.
isn't that most elections?
Oh Lew, WTF are we going to do?

Frank Zappa's clone for president
Living in CA the presidential primaries are meaningless by the time it gets to us.
Were banning books because there might be a thought!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Sorry Lewis! I like JOE! BUT I STILL LOVE YOU!
I believe Mr. Biden has done a spectacular job as POTUS !!!!!!
Then you to are out of your Dam* mind. Or you just don't pay attention.
Have a good life, until it's over and it looks like that's coming sooner then you think.
