Political Campaigns: Crash Course Government and Politics #39

We will not be voting for Cecil graves.

Love your sense of humor!!

eagle abuse!!!

Imagine we didn’t spend money on campaigns and instead voted based on their actions in theirs communities. Its a pointless popularity contest

Imagine having 28k to give it to a politician lol I cannot even afford a bicycle

You say oil companies can give millions of dollars to one candidate, but you also say you cannot give more than $2,500 to one candidate. So, how can a company give millions to a single candidate?

Review

basically this video says nothing and avoids taking any position. Thats a shame given its on an extremely harmful for democracy matter: on how the financial power of some destroy the equality for all. this should be fought against , no excuses, full stop.

No... there bribes, let's stop speaking "legally " and start calling ducks ducks, dogs dogs and bribes BRIBES.

Public financing of elections and do away with superPACs and i would say private donations altogether....have debates on public television free of corporate advertisements (which inherently come with corporate bias) make attendance on first come first serve open to the public without price of admission. (Its not surprising at all that a room full of people who could afford $1800/ ticket for the SC primary debate would boo the idea of raising taxes on the wealthy. have the debates formatted to give lengthy policy based answers and time to rebuttal.... have a multiple moderators from all over the political spectrum that ask follow up questions.

These videos have taught me more about government in ten minutes than my government teacher has taught me in five week.

He seems sad in this video:(

Love this! Thank you.

Only a small percentage of people donate to politicians, and a HUGE percentage of people buy chips. Not a good comparison

Well don't worry. I LIKE YOUR WORK

I still dont understand why campaigns need to raise hundreds of million of dollars for hotel rooms and flights....maybe a commerical here and there.. still things ain't adding up.

Just like the rest of the DNC/liberal mainstream media (aka propaganda mill), PBS has been corrupted by the democrats (aka liberals/globalists) so its info is unreliable. The lighthearted humor doesn't sufficiently disguise your misinformation. Why not do a video on how politicians get rich via donations running for office (e.g. Bernie Sanders and ALL of the others)? Wouldn't want to expose the truth, right?

'contributions are not bribes' based on what?
what do you suggest they are, charity?
corporations showing civic responsibility?
