The Mind Games Politicians Use To Win Votes

[@13ullseye]

_"So politicians try to appear as attractive as possible"_ [3 pictures of politicians who don't look attractive at all] Got a good laugh out of that.

[@PabloBatistaArq]

she said "as possible"

[@OndrikusMC]

Elizabeth Warren actually looks really good considering she's 66

[@sizanogreen9900]

+Bullseye they have to try looking human at first so 'looking good' is not really achievable most of the time ;)

[@13ullseye]

Ondrikus True.

[@Fuar11]

Politically attractive not physically attractive...

[@nrincon96]

the point on appearance: Is that why Bernie Sanders looks so damn sexy?

[@RedTailShark100]

I just wanna lick his bald head

[@nrincon96]

TheRedTailShark balding. hes not bald yet. dont belittle his beauty xD

[@RedTailShark100]

Then I'll wait.

[@RedTailShark100]

***** I know, so sexy.

[@RedTailShark100]

***** I felt the Bern

[@dairix1]

That is one of the flaws of democracy, it makes politics in some sort of "show", rather what is more beneficial. "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others" (c) Churchill

[@codyh9408]

The US Government is a constitutional republic though?

[@dildoshwagins2222]

DirtYone so it's the best

[@lesliewyatt4188]

Churchill was a wicked snake

[@alberthoffman5297]

democracy allows for a country to change as needed. this is why western democratic nation states are some of the most stable governments

[@megagene]

That 80's fitness show background music was an interesting choice.

[@Moscato_Moscato]

And a 1-2-3-4 Keep that heart pumping!

[@megagene]

[@erodict5840]

+megagene Now let's go over to some squats, 5-4-3- Definitly feeling it in the legs now! 2-1. Good job!

[@Dev-Austin]

+megagene hahaha

[@MrJohn-wz7jg]

+megagene underrated comment

[@Holobrine]

Bernie Sanders runs a campaign based mostly on hope and perhaps a small hint of revenge towards the 1%.

[@sa1ntsgame736]

+Holobrine LOL small hint. That nigga wants to fuck Wall Street in their ass

[@cx3268]

People are sheep

[@thepap000]

so true that's why there is so much hate for trump

[@pilotofacanofbeans]

Sheeple

[@whitewolf300-l9e]

I couldn't agree more.

[@hYpE0nmusic]

+The Pap I hate trump because he plays off of or fears to gain votes

[@thepap000]

tyler brinko​ and I respect your opinion if you have seen a full debate I was talking about people who only get there information of vine and KZbin

[@teemusid]

The take away is that we should only read transcripts of speeches, or just go by their actions in previous positions.

[@Sparkyhobbies]

I feel like this video is missing multiple obvious mind games that people fall sucker too. I was happy that fear mongering was listed but honestly I think it's dwarfed by the big one; if you want to persuade large groups of people, give them simple solutions to complex problems. People hate to be told that situations are complex. They hate problems that have multiple variables that are interconnected and inversely dependent. People absolutely desire the 'silver bullet solution', the overlooked but simply stated solution that will cure all ills, or take care of a particularly sticky problem in a elegant way. Ever want to catch a politician lying, just point to a 'simple solution' that is going to cure a generation years old problem. Nationalism: the cohesive support of laws, institutions, or politicians based on sovereign or cultural solidarity. Many people can suss out the difference between patriotism and nationalism if you give them a few minutes, but get a politician on the stage and some how patriotism becomes nationalism. Since patriotism is fundamentally based on ideals and ethics. As patriot you might be ethically cornered into a situation where you decry and criticize the agenda's of your government, military or laws... but as a nationalist, never. Flattery and antagonism, people are suckers when you tell them how great they are, how wonderful their goals are, how wonderful their children are, and how bad it would be for the former if the 'BIG BAD WOLF' got his way. As such, making someone or some country into a villain is useably linked with fear mongering and flattery but they tend to go hand in hand so you have to be cognizant of both. Immigration is great example of two of these things being combined... who are the villains? Immigrants! Why? Because they are simple solution to multiple complex problems. They come and benefit from social programs that they didn't pay into, they are obviously a vector for drug smuggling and human trafficking. They come and build dangerous communities for gangs and terrorist cells. And they take jobs away from "American Citizens" or "Geman Citizens" or "French Citizens". What?! you thought immigration was just an american issue? Sorry same political tactics are globally implemented. So obviously the simple solution to the is to close your borders. When actually the problem is quite complex because drug and human trafficking isn't dependent on immigrants, people who take advantage of social programs aren't always immigrants or even mostly immigrants. Can you have citizen gangs and terror groups?... hmm yes you can. And of course if you got rid of immigrants it'd solve the wage gap, right?! Hmm could be a globalization thing, plus a couple of other problems rolled in there but I digress. Another one is the tactic of displacement, usually one where a government or political party or person is the savior. FYI people get tired and sick of having responsibilities. Many responsibilities are tiresome involve a great deal of investment. On a side note this could also be titled 'How to become a leader'. All you need to do is take responsibility away from people who don't want it. Bam, your the leader. Vote Obama, for change. Vote Trump, Make America Great Again! It's also a great way to usurp choice away from the general public. Do you want the responsibility of checking whether a product is safe? Let the FDA do it for you, and then when your a Californian who wants to drink unpasteurized milk, you won't have a choice because some else has the responsibility. Do want super cheap medical care? Well you don't have a choice because there are no quack doctors available. Want a cheap massage? I'm sorry all, masseuses are now licensed. Do you want to take a greater interest in foreign policy, domestic policy? Guess what? It's not really your responsibility, so why don't you just sit back down and have a beer. Or you can even link these tactics together and point out that it's the villains fault when things go wrong. Obviously it's all China's, and Iran's fault, because they're responsible. Think I'll stop now.

[@nishitraj.]

Trump is so popular because he looks gorgeous.

[@AJ-kj1go]

and he's amazing at hearthstone

[@ilovesparky13]

+Nishit Raj Hahaha thanks. I really needed a good laugh today xD

[@thepap000]

+Aj Koorstra is he really ?

[@nnextccode8456]

He hes faboluos...

[@SapphireX413]

He has a tuft of hair on his head like a troll doll and is constantly pursing his lips like a fish so what appeal do you see?

[@bobbyharper8710]

Politicians say what people want to believe is true.

[@Netryon]

As much you try to talk to them, because now you can as long you login and they see you online it does not bring any fruits for you labor, but rather they try to thrive on your misery.

[@_FootHand]

You can also predict which candidate will win by who blinks the least during a debate.

[@FPrimusUnicron]

since i never get caught in their mind games....sadly, most of my country does so we are basically SCREWED no matter what

[@markd5067]

I don't vote. The system is broken and voting doesn't work. If it did, this country would be getting better...so, not working. What's the definition of Insanity again?...just checking...😒

[@ManintheArmor]

It's important to remember, even the puppetmaster is a puppet themselves.

[@AttaBek1422]

Politicians are 90% actors and 10% administrators.

[@raidendt]

So now i'm curious, how effective is it being aware of your own subconscious tendencies in terms of making the right decisions?

[@whatsuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu]

shows you how every candidate except bernie feels slimey

[@beaconofwierd1883]

This is the main reason why a Representative Democracy is flawed. I'd say you should vote for what values/moral system decisions should be based on instead of a specific person but this would require a complete remake of the governing system today. The main reason why I think voting for a specific moral system instead of a representative is because how the debates would change from a "he said/she said" landscape to deeper conversations about what's right and wrong and hopefully a more scientific method on making decisions assuming you set up the governing system around a scientific evaluation of decisions and not one based on how people feel. Would require HUGE reforms but I think it's doable :)

[@Bluefalcon6154]

Trumps speeches are at a 3rd grade reading level

[@13ullseye]

+Thurston Lambert That probably has something to do with most of his support base having dropped out of school by 4th grade. [That's a joke, for people who take things seriously]

[@VirtualVictory]

+Thurston Lambert That's insulting to 3rd graders.

[@nrincon96]

+Thurston Lambert i like your profile pic

[@Bluefalcon6154]

+KZbinr I'm not running for president

[@simusingh95]

well I RATHER have 3rd grade level than incompetence,devil worshipping mongrols who literally sold out the country for money and self interest not for the ppl u dumb fuck... i don't even live in America putha. . #416 ..TRUMPS THE LAST HOPE FOR THE REAL AMERICANS ..He's not apart of the establishment. .. but all the other candidates are..

[@johntatman8182]

Lies are the only thing keeping America alive

[@phyrath5]

And with this I believe that I can begin to make a case that emotion is a net detriment to human life.

[@Eysc]

01:51 Pretty sure thats a dude with a wig on the left.

[@SnakeVenomTV12191]

hey, d-news, I have a question, why are some beaches blue and others green?

[@juliusprowd2003]

From my end and experienced in liberia west africa, politicians read the day to day occuring that negatively affect increasing members of the population then they come out with vocal open analysis like they can solve the problem just to win the mind game.

[@3214lifelol]

The background music? Nope.

[@zukodude487987]

I vote Julia for President!

[@datboi5116]

zukodude487987 you're probably 12

[@gabrieldominguez3417]

I want to remove these emotions from me permanently

[@badjur3791]

How to not get tricked by these tricks, Just don't give a shit.

[@phyrath5]

Or upon seeing/hearing a politician compartmentalize away ones emotions.

[@savannahn8202]

+777static777 Barnie Sandlers is a politician just like the rest of them.

[@sindrebrve7893]

Bernie Sanders mind game is substance and facts.............

[@itsdivyag]

You know which "politician" has a slimy feel...

[@luismiguel69able]

the vast majority of politicians that i deal with do not have the skills to do this - or even know that they can. A select few do, and those are the onre that get ahead. But most politicians are in over their heads.

[@Maartimer]

Vote for the candidate who proposes ideas that are demonstrated to work, and who explains exactly how they would do it. You can already here exclude the entire GOP. Then check to see which candidate has been fighting for these ideas since forever, and who isn't taking money from any large corporations. I think we all know who's left.

[@Henchman_Holding_Wrench]

"He's not even one of us. He has NY values." "9/11" _applause_

[@Storebrand_]

"9/11" ~ Lois Griffin

[@wsc31]

I often vote for the candidate whom I believe to be the least objectionable rather than the most desirable.

[@mastring1966]

don't forget the "This issue is the most important issue there is in all existence and "I" will fix it if you only vote for me" Then do everything in their power to make sure that does NOT get fixed...so they can run on fixing it next time "if you'll only vote for me again. I'm the only one that can fix that thing!!" Oh, and the recent practice of "put a bunch of people behind me that nod and say "YEAH" so I look better" It's something called "social proof" if other people are acting a way you're more likely to do the same without even knowing it. It's a douche manipulative move. and it works.

[@bluedjules7623]

People are sheep. But people who just agree with people who say that people are sheep without thinking for themselves, are, in fact, also sheep. But then, if you think about it... People who disagree with people who agree with people who say that people are sheep without thinking for themselves, are, in fact, sheep, too. But doesn't that imply that people who agree with people who disagree with people who agree with people who say that people are sheep without thinking for themselves, are actually just as much sheep? Am I a sheep?

[@Nostagia]

Thinking this is why the founding fathers never intended the common person to pick a leader.

[@NateCrownwell]

No judgements are ever based on reason, every choice you make is based on emotion. I think you meant 'visceral reaction'.

[@hihello1-g2t]

Wow 7 years ago was long, the same year my grandpa died

[@samlair3342]

Since American politics has become so irresponsibly partisan, it is probably wise to not allow either party to dominate. I, therefore, will split my ticket in the following manner: 1)Republican for upper legislative bodies 2)Democrat for lower legislative bodies 3)For Executive offices, whichever candidates are more able and willing to sustain bipartisanship, especially in regards to global warming and immigration control 4)For all other offices, whichever candidates best recognize both the danger of ‘global warming’ and of ‘open borders’. Note: In the event that a particular individual candidate that meets the above criteria is too reprehensible to vote for, then I’ll either support the other party’s candidate for that office, a third party candidate, or do a write in vote. To help narrow the field of choices, begin by first searching: ‘voter guide (?) county’ Note: This is an attempt to help bring reason and balance into governance.

[@chrispeterson4594]

question for DNews, can some or all of the human body be kept functioning in case of massive blood loss or blood poisoning by replacing the blood with an alternate fluid that full fills the same job as blood?

Why am i watching this? I'm just planning to get into power by convincing the incumbent to give power to me!

[@CosmicErrata]

As of 7pm eastern time the Game Theory annotation isn't working. The subscribe one right it after works, so it's not just me. Just trying to help :)

[@angelic8632002]

Shows just how much those aiming for power respects their voters...

[@mickmickymick6927]

And despite all this evidence, there are still people in economics and other areas who try to claim that people are fully rational.

[@uniteddreams7065]

Politicians always judge voters or lure people to vote yes or no towards props and buy their way towards success and fail to take action for the community like Tony Thurman for example he failed to make schools safer. Politicians always look for an excuse or reason. The community takes more action than politics in an office. Trump is also one of those people who don't stand for America's rights. Politicians don't stand for anything and say you're entitled to nothing. It takes a whole communities and soldiers to change the country.

[@BTVS666]

The best politician? Honest, loyal to the voters, no lobbyist, true to him/herself, atheist and no right wing nutjob. Of course this kind of politician is a really rare species.

[@codyh9408]

What about left wing nut jobs? I sense personal bias in your comment. Both the right and left are equally as shitty, none is better than the other, it's just your personal opinion.

[@danieldkland]

[@deancuban894]

there are other parties in the US you know? for example the tea party which i kinda made a joke of in my profile

[@wgaskill2]

I first filter out politicians based on their party. Republicans, being the party of puppets, can be assumed to do nothing for the average voter (except in "hot button" issues) - something proven out over the last 15 years. This then allows me to focus on those candidates that may actually care about the voters - Dems and Independents. Bernie 2016.

[@johnydazzles1]

@Dnews Why do we get nervous?

[@DJaime96]

Ok, this video might work for USA politicians, but Im from spain, and I doubt our politicians care about those rules, given the last presidential campaign. Here, the real trick is promising things and forget them once youre president.
