I just hope this vote won't be like the Brexit vote, with americans waking up the next day and wondering what they'd done.

[@motoquasi]

I hope so much Trump wins. I don't live in USA, but I watch a lot of youtube and I'm sure he will be more entertaining than Hillary.

[@Everydayisrednoseday]

What are you basing that on, the fact that the media interviewed THREE people the day after and they said they regretted it? EVERY person I know voted for brexit and I don't know anyone that regrets it. The fact that this comment is being upvoted just goes to show that idiots believe anything the liberal media puts out there. They said in the run up to the vote that it wouldn't happen and it would be stupid. They just can't stand being wrong and are now lying and pretending that we regret it.

[@Alicegab300]

[@gaiusscipio]

So there was a time when voting was limited to a select few based on race, property and sex. Leap frog a century and a half and now its limited to a select few who are willing to drive a few extra minutes and wait in line.

[@Asehpe]

And that's what we call 'political evolution'. Maybe when we can vote on the internet...

[@Ashtarte3D]

That won't, and shouldn't, ever become a reality. Have you SEEN how the internet abuses voting online for anything? Boaty McBoatface. I rest my case; I don't want to see President Pepe the Frog anytime soon.

[@amtooam]

Gaius Scipio In my city (Baltimore ironically) There were more arrests made on the eve of and on Election Day when Obama was running for his 1st term. Oddly I was 1 of the lucky ones released from jail an hour before the polls closed ijs I voted and was later found not guilty.... My point is that in some places it isn't as easy as it seems

[@drewmyself893]

You do realize there are those who work over 50 hours and still can't afford to pay the bills who really don't have the time because elections have such a small window in an intentionally inconvenient time (ever noticed how it's always a weekday, while other countries have them typically on weekends?). The states with the best voter turn out are the 3 that allow write in ballots, that speaks mountains of how the status quo almost wants low voter turn out.

[@Asehpe]

OgreSamanosuke E-stonia managed to have votes online. I assume it's possible, though of course the security problems are enormous and have to be solved before it can be done. Still, I think it's a question of time.

Should be compulsory voting, and the week should be a pseudo federal holiday so people have the time off to go or whatever else it takes. Though we also need to improve education or the mouth breathers will go for Palin 3.0.

[@olumidesobodu5450]

They should copy Australia and fine people for not voting

[@EricLing64]

Dexios S. Divine yohohoho It's perhaps a risky idea given how stupid the country is, but perhaps it would push people to care enough to even know why they give Congress a single digit approval rating but keep electing the same retards in.

[@poiuppx]

110% agreed. If everyone HAD to vote, then you'd see a lot fewer efforts by politicians to drive wedges between electorates or focusing exclusively on the groups that show up to polls most often. They'd have no choice but to try to appeal across the board and not just to their pocket power bases.

[@rjp985]

Australia has compulsory voting and their a democracy.

[@WannabeWryter]

People we must Vote, not to put Hilary in but to keep Trump out

[@nathanielbrown9399]

You know it's depressing how some aspects of society hasn't improved. Why the fuck would people rather vote for weed laws than who would RUN THEIR OWN FUCKING COUNTRY FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS. I actually love Louis Black's rants tho, but damn, it takes away from the humor how serious he is actually being.

[@TheGeorgeD13]

It's not that funny as it is very inaccurate about millenial smoking. They're playing on a stereotype that actually isn't very common among millennials.

[@TheGeorgeD13]

I don't know why it says smoking on my comment. Meant Millenial's voting.

[@CrankyBubushka]

I was thinking the same thing. Why not vote for a Pres. while there? Weird.

[@0Clewi0]

*whispers* people want it because of it's relation with mass incarceration, or militaristic policing, or health issues, or... something that was supposed to be important in USA, what it was... liberty. So with the reduce cost of DEA and private prisons, and adding taxation to weed I doubt it would ruin the country.

[@wordforger]

I'm voting third party for the top of the ticket because between two evils I choose goofy. To be honest, the local and state elections will have far more direct impact on everyone because that means choosing the people who are actually going to be writing the laws. Every four years Presidents promise things they can't deliver without the full backing of the states and congress, and yet so many people utterly neglect this part of the ballot, leaving just a few people to vote in the same exact politicians in Congress that we all hate. The Tea Party swept in in 2010 due in large part to many people not bothering to go out and vote. Some only bother showing up for the Presidential election, if then, and then they wonder how we end up with such a horribly rigged system.

[@amritt1989]

+TCWFr33St00f good day, its not my country and these are not my elections, so pardon me if I'm speaking out of turn, but the absence of a government with an electoral majority is worse than having a corrupt government. Secondly, the candidates may or may not be eligible, but the state has a whole machinery that runs all affairs. Even someone as high a the president can only do so much and give direction to the state machinery in terms of policy. To cause massive changes in the said said state machinery, he or she would have to make amendments to the constitution, something that requires a bigger majority than for forming a government (at least that's how it happens elsewhere).So as far as I can tell, mediocrity isn't a reason for not voting. As long as a state machinery exists, democracy will exist. Considering the number of countries where the idea of democracy is,well, just an idea, one must do all within one's powers to preserve democracy where one finds it.

[@metatechnocrat]

@TCWFr33St00f "I am materialist, as everybody should be. Maybe if everybody we were all a little more materialist, we would all be doing more to promote our self-interest." Pfft, so which Ayn Rand novel did you pick that gem from? Greenspan wants to go out on a date with you now she's long gone.

Iraq had a 60% voter turnout in 2014. Showing America how to democracy.

[@JugglerOfWords]

and here in Denmark it was 85,9 % last year.... I actually thought that this was normal, but I guess americans just have a more difficult voting process (I refuse to believe that the low voter turnout is because of just apathy and laziness)...

[@the-chillian]

+JugglerOfWords -- Yeah, you have to go ALL THE WAY TO THE POLLS and fill out a ballot. Or you have to complete your mail-in ballot and mail it in. SUCH DIFFICULT.

[@zaxx29]

You underestimate the power of lazy millennials. Trust me, I am one.

[@rhondah1587]

Juggler No, it is precisely because of apathy and laziness. Here in America people have no sense of civic responsibility. They just want to complain without participating. It is actually horrible to see how what was the most unique country in history the very bastion of freedom, liberty and a government of the people, for the people and by the people turned to a total apathic and lazy population that couldn't be bothered but loves to be whiny babies because they don't have the perfect candidate. We just turned the country over to the corporate elite, the wealthy banks and scammers. How else can anyone explain how a con artist and out right fraud like Trump could ever have any appeal whatsoever? We value the crass, the misinformation, the manipulative conspiracy theories and made up political scandals and please don't let any of it interrupt the TV reality shows or sports programming. LOL

[@KnivesOfTheRound]

RhondaH Some of it is due to the electoral system. Some don't vote due to a landslide in favor for one candidate or another. But I agree apathy is a large factor, and so is complacency and ignorance. For some reason people have a real difficulty in discussing politics.

[@whaojen]

Election day needs to be a federal holiday. If people didn't have to go to work, maybe there would be more voter turn out!

I actually recognize that. It is not really an act but small spasms caused by stress and anger. When I have to speak my mind fullblown like that I experience these same twitches and shakes in my limbs. It's just a very... very extreme form of experiencing stress /anger. Not completely confident since I do not know his medical record, but I assume it may be the same as what I experience when I have been able to completely throw everything out.

Not voting? Then complaining is not an option. Vote equals voice. Even if you don't like any of the two candidates, one of them will be president. Do yourself a favor and jot down what you liked in Sanders, Cruz, or Johnson and see which (Clinton or Trump) lines up with that the list. BTW there's a lot more to vote on: rights, representatives, senators, judges, commissioners, sheriffs, laws, etc...

[@gigistoner8004]

I could not wait to be able to vote. I am 39 and have voted for every election, including primaries, state, and local elections since the day I turned 18. The day I was allowed to register to vote was just as important as the day I could get a driver's license. I really don't get this generation.

[@burningwings136]

I wish Lewis Black had made a slight adjustment in what he said: "get out there and vote AFTER doing some research so you know what you're doing and who you're voting for." An uninformed vote can, in fact, be worse than not voting. Think about it: if you vote on "proposition X" or "candidate X" in your best interests, then you've helped yourself and given your cause +1 votes. If you don't vote, you've neither helped yourself nor have you hurt yourself, so +0 votes. If you vote uninformed and wind up voting against your best interests, you've actually hurt yourself. Instead of giving +1 votes to your side by voting smart or just staying the bleep out of the way and letting other people decide (hopefully people who've done their homework), you've actually given the other side +1 votes, making it even harder for your cause to win than if you'd just stayed home or, even better, done some bloody research. Seriously, how is "just vote" better? I'm voting in November, but I'm making sure to do some bloody research first and if I see something on the ballot that I don't fully understand, then I'm going to skip it.

[@UnknownOrc]

I have a better solution for you guys so that people go to VOTE, Just add "none of the above" option in VOTING and everyone will VOTE!

[@CometX-ing]

UnknownOrc how about a reset election option where all new people are allowed rerun except for those Hillary and Trump.

[@UnknownOrc]

how do you decide that those two are unfit for president?...you get to decide that when people vote enough on "None of the above". that makes the verdict clear that people do not like both of them making them not to go for elections again.

[@zvxcvxcz]

+UnkownOrc Never voted have you? You don't have to mark any candidate on the ballot, you could also mark the fill in option and leave it blank, or fill in anyone you wish. If you meant an option that would prevent any of the candidates on the ballot from taking office, that's a different story and you should have been more clear. Like what CometX-ing suggested.

[@UnknownOrc]

I am clear with my message, I want an option where people can deny someone in election forever, not fit to serve public at all.

[@joshbobst1629]

***** I know. And I intend to vote, even though I still haven't decided who to vote for president. There are an important number of constitutional amendments to vote for here in Florida. But why isn't the media talking about those? They are potentially way more important than the presidential election. Because the media are controlled by powerful corporations, that's why. If the media was interested in things that were important to average people, those are the things they'd pay attention to. Instead, they just want us to ratify one or the other of the choices they've presented us with for president. Fuck those guys!

[@calipachanguero]

[@adc8655]

[@RyanStorey1231]

[@adc8655]

+SpectreDragon with the way that Hillary is courting to Republican donors and politicians, the Democrats are turning into the new Republican party of the 21st century while the current one tears itself up. A strongly supported green party could stop the dems sliding too far right, get them federal funding so they can have a much stronger campaign in 2020, and ensure politicians know that if they don't listen to the progressive voices in the country they will lose a lot of votes. support for third parties and grassroots movements has been essential in history to secure most of the basic rights we now take for granted.

[@SpectralKnight]

Ad C My point still stands. Saying that any of the other candidates (besides Hillary and Trump) has ANY shot whatsoever at being president is just lying to yourself. Now true they might hammer some sense into them, but they will still have to choose which side they want to support (Hillary or Donald). And you don't know who the hell they would choose in the end. So voting third-party is basically telling someone else to flip a coin and you are fine with the fact that whomever wins the throw becomes president .

If you had half a brain Troy, you'd know how to translate text. Hell, most if the time Google services have that option already. If you did that, you'd see that they really like this show, and compare it to a show from Germany wishing it had some of the same energy. But instead, having the fucking pea sized brain that you have, you automatically became a Nationalist prick assuming they are racist Nazi's because they are talking in their native language, and that scares you because you just finally memorized all the words to twinkle twinkle.

[@Immersible_]

I'm a millennial. Motivate me, please. I really *want* you to. I want to see myself somehow giving a damn about any of this, instead of feeling so incredibly sober at the fact that this farce is what counts to this previous generation as an important decision we're somehow obligated to make; in spite of us actually having no decision or say in why we have to make it according to you. I want to outright choose not to vote until this country has proven to me otherwise that people are worth making their decisions for, assuming our vote matters to begin with. I wanted to believe that it was supposed to be up to the previous generation at some point, to pass the torch on and inspire us to care about the future that you fought for. If you wanted us to start giving a damn about it or wanted us to believe that any of our actions truly have any say in the matter, you would honestly say that you feel disappointed in yourselves. Because the fact that none of us cares, means that you as a generation have failed; and you would admit this.

[@AlexDeLarge1]

MotorKoiKarpfen Nonsense. The votes are entered into an electronic system connected to the internet here in America. How do you think they are counted so quickly? People don't physically do that shit anymore. Why is it that votes cannot be directly entered into that system by the taxpayers who pay for its existence? In fact, you CAN vote online in other countries. Canada, Switzerland and France, for example.

[@zoeychevalier5132]

Nearly impossible to regulate.

[@Killmoves37]

You remember that health care site that the government tried to run a while back? I imagine it would be similar to that.

[@zeevallin]

Essentially because of the way cryptography works. You can't securely have your votes transmitted and counted digitally and at the same time have anonymity. The point of analogue voting is to have group accountability through open, manual, bi-partisan and recorded counting. I would love for a future where we can vote digitally, but then we also need to be perfectly clear our votes can't be anonymous.

[@withlove312]

***** And as we know presidentially that made a _huuuge_ impact. -_-

[@withlove312]

***** Considering I started the "discussion" I should know. There is no such thing as protest vote because it's entire concept, functionality and worth is contingent upon results and change. A protest vote is not a protest vote if it has no effect - by definition that's a throwaway vote. We're done here.

[@Icetor01]

That's a good point, but so many people don't vote (LB said only 55% of the electorate voted in 2012) that not voting is taken as apathy instead of a protest. Also, if the protesters in your examples could have voted to fix their issue, they would have - and they'd have roped others in to help them. Voting is THE way the people reclaim their power and make their choice. If you're unhappy with the choice this year, that's fine; join the club. But ultimately, the loss of your vote can only hurt the candidate you would have voted for, and that has repercussions. There are very real and very important differences between the candidates running this year. If you see one as even slightly worse than the other, you should vote - if only to avoid the greater evil.

Can we just elect Lewis Black?

[@the.bobbybass]

Black sounds like a deep voiced Gilbert Godfrey

The US makes me question democracy

[@dribrom]

Well it's not hard to question democracy. Winston Churchill sad: Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. 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.…

[@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodh4700]

sure but democracy seems inherently a good thing, the people choose, the have a voice. perhaps people dont deserve a voice i dont know im no expert. you look at communism and see the efficiency and wonder how good a dictatorship might turn out

[@Rewarpsudomakeinstall]

This election has turned me into a democracy extremist, otherwise known as an anarchist.

[@dribrom]

Robo Batman Really? If you are referring to the communism in CCCP and say that is efficient I believe you can not have any knowledge what so ever about what happened in the world before the 90's. Same go for Kina before the 90's too. Only after they started to adapt to capitalism a bit more things started to go better for them. But that in no way means I think that a 100% capitalistic environment would work even better. You need to mix capitalistic with socialism to have a working society where liberty and justice is for all. No democracy is still better then anything Lenin, Sarlin and the rest of the bolshevists believed in. There idea of socialism, communism, would have even got Karl Marx to express how stupid it was if he had still been alive.

[@dribrom]

Rewarp sudo make install I suggest you learn what democracy means it has nothing to do with anarchism.

[@leorcc]

I strangely felt the urge to subscribe. How odd.

[@ryanhorton607]

Take the electoral college out of the system and I'll vote all you want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lotsalearn]

I don't know if you Americans have it or not, but here in India, we have an option called "None of the above". It means that people are interested in voting, but can't find the candidate of their choice. "None of the above" becomes a vote bank that politicians can tap into.

[@alexanderreusens7633]

Well, with the system the US uses, voting is only important in the states that matter, everywhere else, your vote won't mean shit.

[@Fungamerplays]

Erinnert mich an Gernot Hassknecht

[@bruh5361]

Hab ich auch zuerst gedacht^^

[@Bibbedibob]

mich auch :D

[@xenon3990]

Stimmt is mir auch aufgefallen. Btw schön zu sehen dass auch andere Deutsche das hier schauen

[@Teddybomber87]

Heute Show is ja auch nur ne " Kopie" aus Amerika.

[@RositaAHuff]

Noch eine Deutsche...oh boy I wish I could vote...

[@reallyWyrd]

Right there with you, Lewis.

[@llongone2]

Donald "The Hate Squash" Trump

[@robertcremin3291]

OBARACK BOBAMA FOR PRESIDENT 2016, HE'S TOTALLY NOT BARACK OBAMA

[@origina1a1terB0Y]

boo Boo Boo Boo it's too hard don't vote don't speak

[@kaizoebara]

Can I get a piggyback ride on the Rock, even though I am not eligible to vote in the US? I promise I'll vote in my constituency.

[@stogucheme]

In all fairness, there were 8 hour long lines and inaccessible polling places last time. BUT! Y'all have had 4 YEARS to get mail in ballots. No more excuses! Vote!

[@RositaAHuff]

Please Mr. Black calm down....

[@gamesman0118]

Nah this is what he does. It's his shtick.

[@ME-mv6wi]

He has Parkinsons. That's why he shakes so much.

[@crispybacon4240]

+Josh E I thought he was just seething with rage.

[@Ashtarte3D]

Black does not have Parkinson's Disease. He has involuntary tremors in his hands but that's the extent of it. He has full control over the rest of his body, he goes on stage all the time and you can see him pacing back and forth fine. It's just sort of spasm that effects his hands and/or lower arms.

[@gamesman0118]

Josh E No he's just old. It happens when you are old and highly emotional. lol

[@Vitrous]

This man is a national treasure

[@stevehill5803]

Back to you Bryant...! Love this guy!

[@lazyperfectionist1]

"Brian?" Did he say, "Back to you _Brian?"_ 😆

[@robbiewiliams1974]

No, he said, “Back to you Bryant.” As in Bryant Gumbel.

[@FrankHarrison12]

Why vote if you weren't given a decent choice? All of the people saying if you don't vote then you're failing in some way are short-sighted to say the least. If you don't support Hillary don't vote for her, even if you dislike Trump with a passionate the lesser of two evils dilemma will never stop when you continue to feed into it. Vote third party or abstain if you wish, but vote for what you believe in, what you support; none of that "Hillary: At least shes not Trump" bullshit~

[@AdrianColley]

He looks so defeated. I love it!

[@MalachiWilliams]

Pleeeeeeeeeease, allow the full show to be viewable in the UK!!

[@theq937]

"Back to you Brian." Lol

[@Cathy24601]

"A decorative hate squash." ROFL!!!

[@Quickfire412]

omg "trump nuking Wisconsin" lmao I lost my shit on that one

[@willfenwick1621]

"Back to you Brian" lmao

[@ojukotimiaderinwale6780]

If Lewis Black would adopt me, that'd be nice.

[@stiimuli]

Back to you, Bryant! XD

[@sircroc5973]

Yelling in the most condescending manner is definitely the way to get people to do what you want

[@kragoon]

All that anger keeps his heart beating.

[@Dutchmadness1]

Back to you Briant. A PRICELESS

[@DJCooL4]

This election just showed us two things: 1. We need a 3(+) candidate (not party) system 2. The gov't needs to find a secure way to vote online

[@Shady_Fungus]

I might just lie and say I didn't just so I can meet this guy. Comedy gold he is.

[@johnnoecker8471]

What's the difference between Donald Trump and Lewis Black ? Lewis Black is only pretending to be insane !

[@ITZ_eSPy]

I'm not voting because I claim to be neutral. I'm too impartial by nature for stuff like this. Rather than answer the question of who should be president I prefer to ask the hard questions that help people draw their own conclusions rather than follow blindly. It's fun to stir the bees. Happy voting everyone

[@justachannel9379]

They are so cute, in a kind of scary sort of way.

[@Become-Eggplant]

Between the Mob Boss and The Joker? I'll just vote Batman Johnson.

[@rhondah1587]

Then you could just as well stay at home. Wasteful whiny baby. Just sucked down all those GOP made up stories like mama's milk. LOL .

[@Become-Eggplant]

I love how people think theres only 2 choices in this Presidential Race. And any choice that aren't those is a choice against the other.

[@rhondah1587]

They Told Me I Could Become Anything, So I became an Eggplant If you want to live in the real world, there are only 2 parties that are viable. Other than that, you can live in your fantasy bubble and stagnate.

[@Become-Eggplant]

RhondaH In Reality there's always other Choices. Your Fantasy Bubble is "Pick whats Given to you".

[@Gwyrddu]

Funny you should mention Batman, Gary Johnson is practically a real-life Mayor West from Family Guy.

[@stanja28]

I love his anger... that angelic man

[@isKatKat]

This is pretty much how I feel when people say that they're 'not planning to vote'. Cast a blank vote if you don't like the candidates, goddammit! If people don't vote they're disqualified from complaining when they don't like who's in office (on any level) or what they're doing there.

[@Rocco_loco]

we have the parlement elections here in morocco , and I'm on the couch watching lewis black screaming at me to get up and vote
