Keep up the work its awesome

[@Lanosrep]

Damn, these are the worst case scenarios, and so many elements of these were present in these past 2 elections

Unfortunately, Horace Greeley in 1872 would have had a better chance if he had any better running mate than Benjamin Gratz Brown. Brown was largely useless in his previous role as Governor of Missouri, and was also a raging alcoholic who gave speeches while totally intoxicated, competely forgot his party's policies (or read Grant's policies as Greeley's), and at a campaign picnic at Yale was seen cutting up and buttering a slice of watermelon (I am not making that one up). While it would have been a tough ask to beat Ulysses S. Grant that year, the 1872 Dem/Liberal Republican ticket of Greeley and Brown is possibly the worst major-party ticket in history (that, or it's between the 1924 Davis/Bryan Dem ticket and the 1964 Goldwater/Miller GOP ticket).

I think you meant to say that the _Republicans_ wouldn't run Johnson in 1968.

[@SirWulfrick]

I don't think "we've been there before" is very comforting when it was still a scam followed by a travesty. Not much of a consolation there.

No, America is not having consequences now from the end of reconstruction. Voting right act 1964 etc , 50 years past. It is alright there. I think if you do history video, you don't put your opinion on modern politics there. It is wrong and disgraceful for the history. But thanks for video anyway

God, white much?

[@squid.com8927]

The 1965 voting rights act was in response to voter suppression which had been in place in the south since the end of reconstruction sooooo…

[@AngelPerez-sj1qc]

This deserves mor views and likes and subs

Democrats today “ThE ParTys SwiTchED”

[@michaelwoodall7772]

I know right? Lol. They've always been the same party at their core, putting on different masks over time.

[@selanryn5849]

Democrats can spell "parties."

[@akumaking1]

So is this channel woke?

[@paisleepunk]

​@@akumaking1no comment (nobody can really define "woke")

[@ranhow4911]

Electoral College is needed and you know why. Big states would pick president, Half or more of the US voters would have no Say. You win by winning more states then the other guy. So called blue states are blue due to Election corruption. Big cities verse rural areas. Voter I.D. needed.!! It would also help if Ballets were fill out correctly and counted honestly. No Computer need.
