MANY of the Founding Fathers warned U.S. NOT to allow party systems to form in our Halls of Governance.
"Specifically a two-party system will tear the country apart." George Washington
If only someone would have told us 200 years ago! Oh wait...
It was wishful thinking at best. It's a natural inclination to work with people with like minds, especially when doing that can increase political power.
Literally all the founding fathers elected after Washington had parties. And it was pretty much a 2 party system. since the beginning.
And what do you have as an alternative? Multi-Party systems just become 2 party systems given enough time.

It wasn't hatred at all. Sure some Americans blamed Muslims as a whole but most were unified by a semblance of brotherhood in defense of their nation. One of the first things that Bush did was assure the largest Mosques that no one was blaming them.

"These guys took away our rights, maybe we shouldnât vote for them."
I feel like we could've figured that out sooner.
Nobody took any right away. Abortion was never a right and isn't articulated anywhere in the constitution. The supreme court recognized that and kicked the authority to regulate murdering unborn children back to the states, where it should have always been.
Not a right
@@codyrichardson2571 ya it is
Murder isnât a right
â@@jacksongutowski But if a fetus isn't viable (before 20-23 weeks) involving anyone beyond the guy, family members, and a doctor isn't necessary.
As soon as the supreme court overturned roe V wade I knew that âRed Waveâ would falter faster than a helium balloon in a needle factory
Yet preventing the killing of millions of children is still worth the political loss.
Yes absolutely, during midterm elections this during 2022 when they were all going on about this red wave I knew that it was absolutely not going to happen especially when Roe V Wade got overturned.
Can't wait for a different Red Wave. This time, the true Reds.
Same.
Hmm maybe they care more about principal than votes?
Regardless the two party system is horrible and needs to go. It promotes divisiveness and allows for far less view points to be considered and effectively voted for.
People say that all the time but never act on it. If the left or right had multiple parties neither would win ever again.
@@silent1267 You say that, but look to other countries. Some have a multi-party system, and while some prevail over others, it would at least allow for proper thought, rather than blind party voting
@@BlueNano320 I'm talking about the United States. We have multiple parties as well but they don't succeed beyond the big 2. Green party, libertarian party... etc. If the right split the vote 50/50 between libertarians and Republicans then the dems would win by a massive margin. It would be 50 percent overall voting for democrats and 25% each for Rep and Lib. The right would never win and vice versa if the left split into 2 parties. I agree we should have multiple parties by the way but I'm just stating how it would go.
Get rid of democracy, start promoting a Republic, and maybe we will see better options than just two parties.

â@@rayerose4646 actually I'd say that people feel strongly on both sides on the whole. One side thinks that babies are being murdered before they're born, & the other thinks that women (females) are having solely their body autonomy stolen from them.
There are sub section of both where they don't take as strong standings on either sides but the main argument there's definitely a strong feeling on both sides against one another.
scotus really kicked the hornets nest with roe v wade
Femicide rate will probably double meaning the babies they want to protect wonât make it anyway , but theyâve just doomed the women.
Abortion is murder
@@chinesevirus-ix3yr NO it is NOT. You donât want to abort babies, then YOU be the ones to carry them. In fact I propose ALL prochoice women REFUSE to carry ANY baby. All your pro-life women can carry ALL the children. All the men can line up behind her to get her pregnant one by one. She sexes one man, carry HIS baby, then as soon as she gives birth, thereâs another, then another, then another, until she canât have anymore. Do this for ALL the prolife women. You know so all you men can have all your baby needs and no abortion whatsoever. Youâll be happy. There are about 40% pro-life women in America. Thatâs 72 million women. They all can have 50 babies in a lifetime. That is 3.6 billion babies. EVERY MAN can have at least 19. All their genes passed along. đȘđ»đȘđ»đȘđ»
You will NEVER miss pro-choice women, those selfish BETCHES.
The real mistake was letting women vote a hundred years ago.
He did a good thing. It was unconstitutional to enforce it federally. Make it democratic by returning the choice to the states.
You know what's the main flaw of democracy? If "I abstain" was a candidate, he would win at 2022 election.

What you would expect to happen... Based on a chart. This was a huge simplification of an extremely complicated subject matter.
based on a chart that reflected trends that held true for multiple elections. naturally you would expect the same pattern to continue, but it didnt and they suggested a reason why. also, this is a short
The data rises through the complication
The loop was so perfect. I thought you were gonna explain something else.
Politically, overturning roe vs. wade was probably one of the worst thing that the republicans could do at this point in time.
Agreed.
But for the people most in favour of over turning it, that is all they really care about. The economy, foreign policy, other health issues are nowhere by comparison.
A worthy political sacrifice to prevent the sacrifices of infants
Yeah it's time we fix the supreme court to better reflect the people. There are 9 judges, 6 of them are Republican. That does not accurately represent the American population. We are not 2/3 Republican lol. And according to exit polls, 61% of Americans support some form of abortion. The right is ruling from the minority. And the consequences of that are felt during the elections. The right is so used to getting their way (regardless of how the majority feels) that anything less than winning to them feels like there must be something nefarious going on. But ur right overturning roe was the greatest gift they've ever given the left lol

It's a mere hypothesis. You can hear the sentence "the data suggests" rather than "the data implies". It's because whether there's a causality or if it's just a correlation is unclear.
(Don't get me wrong, I also think it's more likely than not that there is causality here, but let's be objective about the fact that the video doesn't specify that.)
Still doesnât make sense I donât understand
â@@liborkundrat185 I think the facts in all honesty just prove the ballot harvesting Democrats did even in places where it was illegal I'm sure trends that have happened forever just magically changed from RvW lol don't believe me look at all the places republicans are winning in Cali because of legal ballot harvesting if you don't believe me look up how Arizona State University sororities did illegal ballot harvesting but no one cares
New deal, Cuban missile crisis, 9/11, and roe v wade. What a club.
lowkey i dont think any of those fit in a group but vox does vox
Yeah, the "Red Herring" club.
I think the similarites are that its just big events. The evidence presented in the video showcases how the overturing of roe v. wade was, in the minds of the average American, more significant than one might expect. I don't really know why a whole video was made around this though I don't know if Im missing something
@@thefirstjim events that curved long established voting tends.
@@thefirstjim the group is simply, big events that affect a lot of voters. Roe v wade was arguably more influential that 9/11, half of the US population just lost a right that many of them want to retain. 9/11 was an especially massive terror attack that killed a fair amount of people, but to put it into perspective, covid was killing as many people (about) weekly in America alone, for months.
Need to discuss weather fetuses have rights or not.
Fetuses donât have rights because the very same people who spouse this kind of rhetoric could care less after birth

Conservatives and Liberals are live and let live. They understand nobody gets all they want, that change is needed, and takes patience and hard work and time.
That checks out, I went from "oh both parties don't really want things to change because it benefits them", to, "the precedent set by the overturning of Roe v. Wade has horrifying implications for our democracy, regardless of political leaning, and the GOP have shown they're not afraid to overturn rights that haven't been codified into amendments" or something like that
like i really wonder how they thought it would've gone
Well, to be fair, I wouldnât say theyâre afraid to overturn those laws codified by amendments either, they just know they donât have the numbers or lack of democracy YET to overturn them. đ đł We should consider ourselves warned on what the GOP agenda is.
@@VA_MamaBear yeah, it's just since amendments are codified into the constitution the supreme court shouldn't be able to just reverse them, thought they could change the interpretation maybe
GOP would be doing really well if they never turned Roe v Wade or if they never went out of their way to destroy the rights of others
@@jhon44mat yup
Yep, Iâve had friends that never ever believed in voting or wanted to vote, and now they are taking part.
So, killing babies is so important, that itâs time to vote for something you or your friends have no clue about?
Waste of time
đđđ Now, what they've been complaining about is actually happening. So, now their vote doesn't count. Their past passivity has cost them.
The catalyst to get them to vote is that they're upset that they may have to be accountable for their actions? Abortion is still legal you fools, overturning of RvW was the correct ruling as the states have rights. The SC of 1973 was legislating from the bench. Congress never codified it. In 50 freaking years.
I donât vote it doesnât matter, electoral college decides everything anyway
The partisan lean is correct but the midteam results has another huge factor. The mass legalization of mail in voting which is just terrible.

Who knew that alienating half the voting population would be bad for the GOP in the midterms?
Honestly I feel bad for the Supreme Court justices, they just did exactly what the court is there for. Roe v Wade's whole foundation in federal law was shaky to say the least and if people cared about that then they should've supported a move to make it into federal law with Congress rather than some arbitrary ruling which isn't supported by the Constitution. Plus regardless of politics the court justices in favor of repeal are right, it's not the federal governments job and falls under state rights. Personally I don't care either way but I find it a shame that people aren't more literate with how the law and federal branches work.
I think it doesn't really alienate half of the voters. I think that half of the voters *think* that it alienates them, though.
Abortion is not banned nationally, nor is it allowed nationally; it is up to states to decide now.
Nobody voted for a particular party Iâve abortion. Only five states even had it on the ballot this election.
But enough people voted for Democrat candidates out of fear that a more Republican Congress in their state would take their rights away.
I think January 6 also played a big role. Almost every candidate that said they wouldn't have certified the election results, lost their election. I know for my father who is a boomer it was a big motivating factor.

Something was different? *We didn't want admit we were wrong, that's it-*
All other presidents on that first list would also fit that description, so no, it wasn't different.
Maybe it was that a significant majority of Americans think access to abortion should be a right and they went to vote hoping Dems would make it law. I'm skeptical, but that's more likely the reason.
@@hopelesslydull7588 The thing I donât get about that is that from what I heard, most of the republican candidates didnât want to just ban abortion, they just wanted the states government to have the freedom to decide, wich i donât really see how thatâs so bad. Making the state regulate something like that instead of the federal government can make the policies better reflect the interests and values of the local population.

In terms of voter opinions, it is.
It directly affects the ability of fully half the country to determine their reproductive futures, which affects their entire lives. Yes, absolutely it is.
Makes 9/11 easier to forget. What politicians want is us to forget
No of course not. The overturning of roe v wade is far more significant
In the terms of voting not "societaly" important.
I understand that people feel strongly about RvW but overturning it didn't make abortions illegal.... it gave the states the choice to individually decide how they handled it, which means that the people living in the states get to coose how they want abortion handled. With the federal RvW no state had a choice, it's a big matter of gov. overreach. Does the federal government get to tell the states what they can and can't do on things they historically didn't have controll over, people don't seem to realize that if your state feels so strongly about abortion then there is no issue because your state can decide how it's handled. So any state putting restrictions on abortion obviously is majority againt it in some way. You see al these people in states that are restricting abortion screaming and everyone takes their side while noone thinks about the fact that they're actually the minority in their state... The overturning of RvW did NOTHING, any state that want's to keep it as it was under RvW can still do so, it's just that now the Feds can't force the people who didn't like it to just go with it. This is literally a win win for all sides involved, we all get what the populations of our states want.

Imagine how the numbers would've been if a certain US energy sector had not cut refining and then enjoyed the supply/ demand price justification while hurting EVERYONE but the very wealthy.
Refining is being cut because investors are going down. Investors are going down because the government continuously reminds us that gas isn't needed anymore because we can just buy electric vehicles

Battery tech is still evolving at a rapid rate and doesn't continuously pollute while in use. The switch definitely shouldn't happen right now but who knows where the tech will stand in 10 or even 5 years. And where the ethics will lie at that time.

I hate that we have only two viable parties, and I hate even more that they're really just a uniparty with different team names. But what can be done? It's a prisoner's dilemma.
Then it gives Biden the victory.
Im always for more parties in the government. But it seems that the republicans would rather right among us than be United
Difference is state wide mail in ballots. It doesn't matter if they are alive, dead, moved, incarcerated etc.. they got a ballot to their old address. Then signatures weren't checked because of wide spread mail in ballots, so we don't know if the votes were actually legal or not. When you have unsecure election practices you get weird results.
You get Election Fraud not irregularities
That isnât true.
Yet they have been unable to prove any of those things have happened in any remotely significant amount?
Yeah uh why are you so comfortable lying so boldly?
keep that cope going
Maybe people were voting based on other things instead of the president
yes that's the assertion made in this video
No not what itâs saying At all. If people vote for other things thereâs be no pattern whatsoever. Itâs saying people MOSTLY vote against the president unless and until pulls their focus. That means THE NORMAL behavior is to vote against the president.
Hilarious replies
Saying that overturning roe v wade is the new 9/11 is ridiculous. The constitution never applied anyways, since there is no amendment, itâs just up to the states. If the majority in certain states donât want abortions, then why is it such a big deal? They get to vote too, donât they?
Roe v Wade was very popular even in Red states. Taking away rights isn't something any state should have a "vote" on.
It's almost like if you're a women in your 20s and you suddenly have less rights over your body than your grandma did, it makes you go out and vote
Maybe those members elected under the Obama administration shouldâve codified a ruling that rgb herself said wouldnât hold up to further scrutiny. Abortion isnât a constitutional right. The democrats have been holding voters hostage, saying âtheyâll overturn it if you elect republicans,â instead of doing whatâs right and codifying it when they had the chance.
Tell me exactly where abortion is a protected ârightâ in the constitution.
im going to pretend i understood all of that
Basically this generation of voters feels as strongly about their access to abortion being minorly inconvenienced as previous generations did about 9/11, FDRs new deal, and the build up of nuclear weapons for first strike capabilities in cuba. Cuz all 4 of those things are equally bad right?
Mail in voting
or, it shows that the American people lost democracy long ago, as we dont even come close to actually choosing our laws and leaders
This should haunt Susan Collins especially. 2026 isnât that far away and we are waiting eagerly for that day in Maine.
Whatâs happening then?
@@realkindacringe
I'm _assuming_ an election or something to that effect
You had you chance in 2020 and blew it. What makes you think 2026 will be different?
The timing of Roe v Wade being overturned was suspicious.
Suspicious in what way? If you are implying it was some Democrat machination they sure were brilliant in engineering those conservative pro-lifers Supreme Court justices in getting installed.
â@@keithmoh1No, it's all a show. It's the uniparty playing games with us.
In conclusion, someone said 200 years ago that this would be a bad idea
I'm not American, but the overturning of that case caused meltdowns over here in Ireland. Even people who would not be liberal did not like it.
Most secure and free electionâŠ
Don't care who's in office, not voting for a dude who can't put a sentence together
Then you might have to leave the President line on your ballot blank* in 2024. Remember to vote in the primaries people!
Pardon if I ask who are you voting for because between Trump, Biden, Walker, Fettermen, Oz, Pelosi, DeSantis, none of these mfrs have control of their tounges well enough to keep there sentences straight.
If that's your only criteria I'm wondering who you have left to vote for?
Ugh discrimination are really so obvious, I hope ur children won't be like you
@@kilimanjaro1893 you're foolish
then vote for someone like yang
Far too many other differences this midterm to draw this conclusion from a mild trend in limited sample... The results can easily be explained as purely following the expectations you'd have from the sheer polarisation you're experiencing rn.
Cheating?đ€
Yeah, probably.
Tell me you're rigging the elections without telling me you're rigging the elections
Bidenâs approval didnât move much because nobody approved of him in the first placeđ
Donald Trump has the record for the lowest presidential rating throughout his whole entire candidacy he never broke over 50% approval rating.
I don't think you know what you're talking about lol being in a constant position and not moving in a varying way means that approval is static. It's neither here nor there.
Actually Bidenâs approval rating was sitting at ~53% on January 23, 2021 (according to FiveThirtyEight). It took a dive down to 47% after the Kabul Airlift and went as low as 37% on July 24, 2022. Thanks to Dobbs v Jackson it rose back up to 42% where it currently sits.

And yet, there he is...sitting in the oval office... waiting for his diaper change...
1962 - Dems lost 4 in House, won four in Senate.
It's funny how our country alway unites when we hate something else
you could have just said "blatant fraud" and the vid would be so much shorter and accurate
I doubt we will ever see another outsider run against the machine ( uniparty) I also remember how they did Ross Perot back in the '90s and anybody that's tried since.
Mean trump was an outsider he just ran as a republican. He had no governmental ties.
I noticed a certain someone was conspicuously absent from those charts...đ€
Jefferson was afraid the judicial branch would run away to be the most unchecked and powerful. They guaranteed a right and then stopped to within 1 lifetime.
RvW was unconstitutional and was overturned. You were giving the federal government power over your body and were so delusional you believed it was a right being given to you.
If roe v wade was such a big concern, why was abortion not listed on any polls for top 5 concerns Americans have? Inflation, the border, foreign relations, gas prices and crime. All things made worse under democrat rule. I saw dozens of polls from both sides and these were the issues, not roe v wade. Shenanigans were afoot this election cycle too.
It was listed in many of the polls. Right under economy.
@@eeriecraft1797 no, it wasnât. Maybe a poll from college students, but not otherwise. Even cnn was forced to admit that. There is a clip somewhere shortly before the election.
I've said this since the beginning. Abortion access is a bipartisan issue. The GOP has played their 30 year long game and won. And their prize was a Jacob Marley-esque chain, weighing them down constantly.
Abortion access is the single most pressing issue for a significant amount of the voting population in the US.
And no amount of incoherent logic, problematic ideals, failed moral superiority, or religiously charged arguments are going to help that.
And Gen Z is even more fervent than the generations prior. The GOP is going to be dealing with Roe for decades to come.
GOP showed their cards and the American people responded.
So why didn't democrats codify it in the past fifty years?
Ok, but killing babies is still wrong
wow, how privileged a country is, where the ability to abort your pregnancy is the #1 troubling issue.
oh, how society has fallen.
â@@KnockOut101inc you must be a boy
@@KnockOut101inc Exhibit 1 - failed moral superiority argument.
Overturning roe was the biggest conservative own goal in decades. They just dont listen.
RvW was never a RIght ! It was a legal opinion from SCOTUS.
A reminder is that it didnt overturn the right to abortion... just took it away from federal hands and returned it to state control. Stay active in your state and work inside your state level system to make the differences you hope for.
It didn't overturn the right to abortion... because no such right exists.
gerrymandering keeps a lot of fly over states red despite most of the population living in the big democratic cities.
Maybe because it woke many Americans up. Being that before the overturning, 75+% of Americans were against overturning it yet it still happened.,
Which showed that the people in government didn't have the interest of most Americans in mind when making are laws.
Plus showed that the separation of church and state was beginning to fall.
2 Excellent points there!, well said.
I am 16 years old and I agree
