私も日本人です！！ 今は高校一年生で、英語脳を本気で作りにかかっています。 I don’t know whether below English is correct or not. I’m Japanese too!! I’m a first year high school student now, and I have been making a English brain very hard.

​@@thanksforyou6953it's correct! How is your English brain progressing? Greetings from a spanish speaker from Andalusia 🎉

@@ClaudioSalto14 About 60% When I listen to English, I can understand most of it. But when it comes to talking to the businessman, I can't really understand what he's saying hahaha😅

One thing i would add, even though the focus on this was the US system, although Japan does have many parties, they are techincally a functioning one party system since the liberal democratic party has been in power for most of modern Japanese history, kind of like Mexico where although smaller parties doe exist and sometimes trade off power, Mexico has basically had 1 party rule for most of its political history

Ive been back and forth online, listening to the same information from different KZbin videos about the same subject... And I gotta say, huge kudos to the gentleman in the video. The way he expressed and compared the systems just made all info click (and the visuals helped too of course). Im truly grateful for this video and appreciate how refreshing it is to relearn these things. Thank you for sharing!

[@donwhitmire978]

The American president is elected directly by the people. I left this site after that and revisited why we have an electoral college.

Non compulsory voting contributes to the hyper polarisation in the US. Fear is used to motivate people instead.

[@oldandwicked2762]

Very good explanation!

[@Phytom]

A question I've always had is, what if a senator of very powerful state, for example Texas, which has more resources, military and land power than most other states in the US wants to make a proposal to the senate, does this senator also have more negotiation power in congress as for example the Senator of Maine or Rhode Island, as it would be in world politics, because he could for example cut off all oil, or would the federal government not allow that?

[@moshithegamer7957]

impressive

[@evanj3535]

Many Americans do not know or do not think about the fact that it is unusual for a president (or prime minister or other terms in other countries, hereafter "leader") and legislature to be elected independently. The leader's power normally comes his party and other parties having a majority coalition in the legislature. Some unusual features like how the federal government is elected including the Electoral College for president come from the Constitution, while other features such as the two party system are not written. The United States has stability in that going back to 1788, every even year has federal elections that were never postponed or canceled due to war or any other reason, elections cannot be added, and elections are sufficient to determine control of the Senate and House without legislators having to make coalitions. Since the Republican party was created in 1854, every election has had the same parties be by far the two most popular parties.

3:00 The one exception in the US system is the Vice President.

[@lisa.e5776]

US political system is similar to the Crabs political . A Crab will alway pull down others crabs trying to escape from the basket. Finally not crab escape from the slaughtering .

[@berndkievits8353]

thnx man

[@konstantinospalapanidis6414]

Thanks for comparing to Japan but I do not really know how Japan works either so it is not very helpful in this sense. On the other hand I learnt a bit about Japan's system.

Thanks so much and can you explaining The system political British

[@slo-poke1044]

Representatives elect the president not the people.

[@EggersEggers-pd6te]

The problem is that the politicians don't actually represent the people. But instead People simply need to vote exclusively on the policies. Not for the politicians. The middlemen are the real problem.

[@williamtin7796]

thanks sir

[@user-cx9nc4pj8w]

Good video, except that you state that American people elect the president. They do not. The electoral college elects the president, and aside from votes not being equal, the electors are not uniformly required to vote the way their state voted.

[@schoeberli]

My guy the president is not directly elected their elected by the electors of each state so thats false (Sorry for my bad english its not my first lagauge)

[@ryan2130]

Dumb system. Why should I vote for people or parties who don't fully represent my views. Every American should be able to vote on every issue, and there shouldn't be any voting for people or parties.

[@erikengheim1106]

Some of these differences are cultural I think. In my native Norway which is much like the Japanese system I feel that we do actually have pretty clear choices among parties even if polarization is less. Despite the polarization in the US I don't actually feel US parties offer real choices. Both US parties are very pro capitalism. In Norway and many other European countries you have numerous socialist and social democratic parties making up the left which is a real alternative to the capitalist economic system. The right is made up of pro-capitalism parties. On each side there are of course variations. E.g. the social democrats tolerate a lot more capitalism than say the democratic socialists. On the right social liberals are willing to engage government more than say the classical liberals/libertarians. In Nordic countries you also often have parties originating with farmers often called something like "the centre party" which is mainly about siding with rural areas vs urban areas. These tend to be very strong advocates of local democracy, sovereignty, skeptical of things like the EU etc. Thus I feel that as a Norwegian I am given a lot of great choices when selecting a party, while despite following US politics for decades I cannot say I feel Americans are given much of a real choice. Say you want to vote on a party which is very pro market but liberal on social issues, then Americans don't really have any choices.

THIS IS EDUCATION

[@miltonthegreat6520]

I'm confused how the US has a House of Representatives AND a Senate, each stalling the other when it comes to voting rights. Seems that parliamentary systems with a prime minister is more resilient to change and the popular vote. The Electoral System and Filibuster are out of date and seen as anti democratic. The party system itself infused with donors monies seems to be the real problem, often pro war and pro business. I'm also confused how the State legislative houses operate in a States Rights federal system, where places like Canada and Germany have national laws and universal programs that share space with their states. Supreme Court has several Federalist (states rights) supporters, diluting national projects and delaying applying standards (e.g. no national cannabis laws, health mandates). Maybe the real problems are ideological.

[@genghiskhan5701]

The US is NOT meant to be a democracy but a constitutional federal Republic where the states have more of a say hence the senate and EC. It's the state government that is meant to be democratic.
