Thank you, Mr. Carroll and Ms. Han. This is a very timely and interesting discussion that has caused me to reflect a lot on my own beliefs surrounding politics and where I fit in the politi. I would advocate for more discussions like this, but I understand why one might avoid them, knowing that the algorithms steer certain topics into quagmires riddled with bots, bigots, and bad-faith actors. Your work is greatly appreciated!

I recommend joining his patron. Even though I only watch the KZbin stuff. I'm glad he exists. I wish I could do more

A couple dollars a month might keep this going

I don’t think the problem lies in how the algorithm twists the threads, but rather in how people do the same thing in real life. Most people don’t want to discuss a weighty-topic but prefer to troll each other. They regularly engage in logical fallacies, especially the straw-man fallacy. There is nothing in it for them to meaningfully discuss these topics, whether it is political science or physics.

Hey Sean, on the topic of democracy I would recommend having Maxwell Stearns on as a guest. He is a law professor at the University of Maryland with a recent book "Parliamentary America", where he makes the case for a more modern democratic process while comparing/contrasting existing systems from different countries around the world.

How quickly multicultural democracy will fail depends on the cultures in question.

Let's start naming cultures that could make multicultural democracy name.

thumbs down, because putting any qualifiers in front of the word democracy is dangerous, and has caused harm

Thanks. You should do more talks about messy aspects of human reality. Physics is to easy

I don't know if we had in the globe a true democratic experience. . .to be a candidate you'll need like a billion dollar campaing....in Brazil it doens't matter who is the candidate, the parties and the donators, wich means : the financial and corporation lobby, are the ones who really govern us. Democracy with capitalism doens't match. I would like to know more about China's system, and perhaps we could create some new ways and systems there are better than what we have...

In my country Nigeria, China's system would make things worse. There's not much incentive for the political elite to try to improve the economic productivity of the citizens

its such a joke listening to Americans talk about democracy when they have only two parties. The idea people are either Left or Right loses so much detail about subjects as you only have two choices. Any European country would show you how a healthy democracy looks with 5+ parties getting public support. 2 Party systems with large lobbying leads to easy corruption. Then you have First-preference plurality voting when something like Proportional Representation - Single Transferable Vote works much better. American needs to modernize, if it really cares about being a healthy democracy

Nah it’s two sides. Believe in gods and get everyone else to believe in your magic and those that don’t. That’s the root of Americans division. The god believers are scared their children won’t embrace their magic.

Aspiring to be more like the EU is not what the American project is about. Thanks for the advice though ...

European myself, I see your point, on the other hand, there is for sure a reason why the USA has kept the two party system. Look, most European counties have in a way also left-right division because people don't vote by their hearts, they strategize and intentionally create a two party system too (e.g. Social Democrats Vs Kokoomus in Finland or Soc.Dem. Vs Moderanterna in Sweden) I got the point, that Europeans have more options especially regarding presidential election, I prefer having more candidates than just two
