We have a lot of politician's who have been in Washington for years who are worthless.
You have that electoral college thing backwards. Without the electoral college, millions of people from small communities with low populations would not have their vote counting. The cities with the highest populations of voters would determine the elections. It’s a good thing and without it we would all be under control of leaders that are elected by only big cities with high populations of people who believe a certain way.
That is not true. The reality of the situation is the electoral college disenfranchises millions of people by not counting their vote. How would you like to live in one of the states where your vote is not counted simply because of the state you live in? States don’t vote people do.
@@randyblaukatintuitive Ah, the tyranny of the majority!
@@randyblaukatintuitive I can’t say I agree with that but I will say, thanks for all the knowledge about bass fishing that you share with us!
As someone who spent a significant portion of my 41 year military career dealing with senators, congressmen and other senior government officials I can tell you there is zero reason to stress about the. 2 poor choices we currently have. People should be focused on Congress, not the executive branch of the govt as that's where most of the rot --- and actual working power within the government resides. Simply stop voting for the incumbent and slowly things will change
You nailed that and thank you for putting up with the military BS for us all 😂. My BIL was a jag colonel and the stories he has… incredible out with the old, indentured guard and let’s get some new and progressive thinkers in there!!
@@coasterbrookie yep, since Congress will NEVER vote to envoketerm limits we have to do it for them. About 15 years ago I simply stopped voting for the incumbent, period. I don't care what your politics is. You get you're one term and then you're out and back to the real world and get a job. Can you imagine how much work they could accomplish if they just focused on their job and not raising money and trying to do favors to get re elected? I urge all Americans just simply stop voting for the incumbent if you ever want to see any real change in our govt.
Thank you for your service. I absolutely 100% agree.
I think the reason so many people get stressed out at election time, is they have not been paying enough attention to what are elected leaders have been doing. Apathy strengthens politicians power and dilutes the citizens power. Without getting political as Randy asked, I will say this about our political process. We need everyone to participate. If you don’t vote, you have no right to whine about how things are.
Agreed
Apathy is not the reason I am not voting this go around. Quite the opposite. The lesser of two evils thing has gotten out of hand. I appreciate your take.
Get rid of the labels. Politicians and the political system has been selling us out since at least the 60's.
Ive never missed an opportunity to vote from day 1.
It seems every cycle the choices get worse and i have to hold my nose more and more when I pull the handle.
Thanks Randy. You make some excellent points about bringing down our level of anxiety over the presidential election. Your point about electing people that have integrity, critical thinking skills, etc. is spot on and is something I get frustrated about. It seems there are more and more elected officials that are too focused on what is best for themselves instead of what's best for the country - a few of them don't even seem to be very literate and to me are an international embarrassment. I think there should be tests and expert panel interviews to weed out unqualified political candidates. These jobs are too important to let the wrong kind of people get on ballots and lead our country. It's probably easier to test IQ, history, geography, political science, economics, etc., but I'm not too sure about how to test for or interview for things like honesty, integrity, courage, etc. but those kinds of attributes are very important and seem to be becoming less and less common.
Welp, it's been a good run. All the best. So long fellas.
Sounds like a construction site
Politics is one of the reasons I fish alot. Plus I just love fishing
I feel helpless and disenfranchised in my state, as the election in our state is already decided 2:1 by the letter by the name. We have 4 or 5 swing states that decide who will be running the country. I can only plan and invest accordingly.
Takes way too long for the checks and balances to kick in. In the meantime............
Ugh, can we talk about Texas rigging a big worm 😂😂😂
For me, it’s all about intrusion into our lives. I’m always going to vote for the candidate that has the most respect for the constitution and is less willing to expand government. Almost everything we do is controlled in some way by our government. Their feet off our necks would ease much of the stress hard working Americans have.
More than anything, people need to be educated on how our government works and how elected politicians affect our lives, and they do affect our lives in absolutely every way. First and foremost, our leaders must have morals, ethics, and principles. Nothing else matters until they clear this hurtle. For me the choice is simple: Autocracy or Democracy? Choose wisely.
Truth
Randy, you though a curve ball when you said politicians that have honesty and integrity and deserve to be there, very few and far between!
I am tired of hearing about the politicians that have been in office for 6 years making $200k+ a year, came from an average job but now worth millions.
My faith allows me total peace. My King is the King of Kings.
The right and true government is still to come ??
For those of us who are believers, this is but a blink in the existence of our souls. Our King of Kings is in charge.
Randy the problem is there are little to no leaders who aren’t corrupt .. on all sides .. easier said than done. Thanks for the video
Hard to hear with all the background noise
Election campaigns should be limited to 9 months or less.
Also- Randy, I will never believe something I see from another fishing channel personality that speaks ABOUT you without seeing what you yourself say about whatever it is. Another person speaking about a man is gossip. I want to know the man; I watch the man speak. I suggest evrryone tune out news gossip, social media gossip. If you want to know a person- watch them speak directly, listen to what they say objectively+ openly. Think for yourself how you feel about someone. Do not follow any news story or social media story about- about that's not the original. The people on the screen; their job is to be on the screen. Randy's job here is to be on the screen. Remember that it is a job. Some people, like Randy, use the platform for simple& good advice. Most of the money going to the screens furthers' making money from being on the screen- and nothing more.
There is certainly a deep ideological schism in our nation. It is rooted in religious differences and ideological understanding.
And OMG, the noise in the background! Hard to watch the video Randy!
Most people are Democrat or Republican as their religion.
@@skevincampbell Perhaps, perhaps for some it is a bit more complex than that. Either way, far too many people have made it a we versus they situation and so much fuel has been thrown on the fire with everything from racial tensions to identity politics that simply boiling the current atmosphere in America down to Dems versus Republicans is an oversimplification at best.
Maybe KVD or Clunn will start a channel and keep it about BASSIN.
5 Days later it just got worse.
To a politician, social media is like ffs a cheater box. The true patriot clearly speaks the truth.
I like “The Twitter Faction” comment and am a fan of “Beau of the Fifth Column” as well. Another great Mental Monday Randy!
Loving the hat!!! 🤠 I'm here and I'm in the front row🤗. What about that Tackle room tour ❓🤓 Still loving the Mental Mondays!!!
He should get a maga hat lol
You have a very good conception of the break down of politics today. I am of the 25% that is extremely into political education. I am very happy that you put this out there, you explained very plainly what is happening today. To me the choice is very clear. I deduce that you and I are of the same cloth. I love MM's. 😎
I may be banned from my instagram account for my views so wanted everyone to know, there is a National IQ Test Nov 5th.
There's a valid reason we have the electoral college Randy. Also this country is in for a lot of trouble, it will get worse before it gets better (if it does).
@@PaintballShyguy what’s the reason?
If we didn’t have the electoral college New York and California would elect every president. It gives all states a say in who we elect
@@kennydecrette2911 lol how would they elect any President when everyone gets one vote? How about the Senate? That over-represents low population states and disadvantages New Yorkers and Californians
OK, I can’t go back and give you a lessonon how the electoral college works, but it was designed to give the states with no population a say in who we elect and it still works today we live in a representative republic not a mob rules democracy
@@kennydecrette2911 What you say makes no sense. In a true democracy, it's a 1:1 Ratio! Everyone gets a vote, the person with the most wins. Your two states theory makes zero sense
Until things change, we are a two party system. Pick the person most in line with what you value. If you don't, it's a no less a fiat vote for the worse of the two. Churchhill quiped "Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time… We're a Democratic Republic so we did find a better way Winston :)
The political candidates, from both sides, have been horrible, for over 40 years. And, it gets worse every cycle.
I like Roland Martin's channel but he is pro livescope. Sigh, Randy was my last hope.
No matter who is president God is still King, our time on this earth is temporary, no need to stress, have faith in our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ, say a prayer, cast a vote and keep on keeping on, because no matter what happens while we are here on earth, as a follower of Christ we have an eternity in heaven to look forward to!!
Its pretty simple...both candidates are old. Vote for the one who gets things done, not the one convicted of rape.
Who was convicted of rape.??
He wasn’t convicted of rape, he was found guilty in a civil case of defamation of the accuser.
@@alexniapas9243 He was found liable for sexual assault and then defamation of that case. Did you miss the entire first court case?
There’s the problem sir, you are a fool without any knowledge !! There is no rape conviction because there was no rape !!
@@trader4life1found "guilty" of political democrat schemes u meant to say...feel free to move to China
I disagree with your opinion on the ramifications of the recent supreme Court decision.
Not sure how you can agree that Scotus just gave the president an ok to assassinate a political rival if they deem it an official act. This is exactly what the decision allows.
@@randyblaukatintuitive Rather than listen to the English translators explain a topic through their lens and political leaning, we all can read the Supreme court ruling for our selves. This blather helps nothing but helps spread the spin of political opponents. President's are protected when performing presidential duties. (just like they always were) BTW, The electoral college works exactly like it is supposed to work. We are not a Democracy and never have been. Because the founders weren't trying to start a country where mob rules. I thought you had some political science degree or some such. Maybe reread "the boy who cried wolf"? About 2/3d of the eligible vote.
@@randyblaukatintuitive The decision specifically allows for LIMITED immunity. Please link to the part of the decision that states that assassination of a political rival falls under the limited immunity granted in the court decision.
@@christopher9076 listen to the court’s minority descent rebuttal
They have essentially created a king of the US. This is one reason we left England in the first place.
Randy this is nothing personal against you and I think you’re a smart guy but this video is biased. You say you will delete any comments that promote or degrade a specific candidate but the first 5 minutes of your video it seems pretty obvious who you don’t like. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say you don’t like (former) President Trump. So if you delete this comment be honest with yourself and delete the first 5 minutes of your video where you talk about “populist candidates, and Twitter candidates “ as if we all don’t know who your referring to.
Your stated mission is to get FFS/live imaging banned or severely limited in tournament competition which I’m on the fence of but leaning towards your stance. The only reason I’m not there yet is I want to spend some time using it myself to make sure I’m coming from a position of knowledge.
In order to get the support you need; you are going to need people on both sides of the political isle. Fishing transcends all walks of life but if I had to guess I’d say more fishermen lean conservative then liberal.
Secondly, (just because it irritated me), you’re comments in a previous video where you compared the grandmas to “testosterone fueled military special operations “ guys in your survival classes were both offensive and based on limited knowledge. And this is nothing against the grandmas because of course of your focus is on survival skills your going to be better at it then a SOF soldier who has multiple focuses. But I was a instructor at the primary army survival school and we DID NOT teach people to rely on their gear or be helpless without it. We took their gear. I attended prairie wolf primitive survival school with John McPherson and although I admit he had no “grandfather “ mentor whom I’ve heard possessed mystical powers; he did teach us bow drill fire, flint knapping, brain tanning and more earthly survival skills which we passed on to our students.
Ideally when your trying to assemble support for a common and non political cause; your target audience should not be able to tell your affiliation from your public presentations. Why risk alienating half your perspective supporters? I would be willing to bet neither President Trump or President Biden know what FFS is. And label me a “hater” if you want but I’m not.
I'm referring to long term survival skills. This is no way a slight on our military. Note the Silver Star in my tackle room...None of the active military that were in my school could identify the complexities of medicinal and edible plants like the herbalists. This skill alone would make the grandmas be able to survive long term. There is a difference between surviving a month in the wilderness vs.. permanently.
I would not debate that. Even at our school the long time civilian instructor taught plants because it takes a long time to learn and military members don’t have time to learn that in the scope of their jobs with everything else. I was specifically referring to the comment about “take away their high tech gear and (I can’t remember exactly how you said it but the implication was they were helpless). I mean you we’re using it to illustrate the dudes in their early 20’s who can’t catch fish without high tech electronics so I’m not sure how to take that as not insulting. But for the record I don’t think your anti military or anything like that just outspoken and so am I so I’m gonna say something about a comment like that. Because I was a leader at that school 3 years
Also, still subscribed, still want to hear what you have to say on FFS, still use your tackle warehouse link. Maybe just not watch your “not political” videos
I put it in God's hands, ain't no strain on me.
...what deception. You started the video pretending it wasn't about politics, then you revealed your political view points. (Which is your prerogative) I just thought maybe you were different and that you actually meant the things you said. It was all a lie. How disappointing.
People better start caring or Bass Boats will be a thing of the Past
