It has also made me start watching ERB battles again (from the beginning of season 1). While doing so, came across a few I thought about suggesting (one purely just for the guitar style beat which was Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, and Kim Jon-il) but there are 2 early ones that I'd like to suggest. I hope they are good, but if not for some reason, then I will have yet another chance to learn something about how battle rap works (in essence) not to mention that I tend to learn a lot of things about these various individuals that I didn't know before. Just wanted to share what I take from your videos on the rap battle breakdowns and say thank you.

[@10art1]

Wait, I was being sarcastic. You weren't supposed to like this. I like your reactions on subjects you're knowledgeable about, but the whole "both sides suck, politicians don't do anything, it's all just corruption" is a very surface-level take that really bothers me because it's so common, but it's just frustrating to always hear it because I've gotten a bit more involved in politics than most, I've volunteered for campaigns... and there is sooo much going on in the background other than just money goes in politicians, crap comes out.

"There is nothing I dread so much as the division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our constitution" john Adams

[@XanderHarris1023]

Didn’t George Washington also say something similar?

[@harz632]

​@@XanderHarris1023 "The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism." "The spirit of party serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another. " The US was created to be about one united people standing for the founding values but it went down to two big parties each trying to uplift one part of the constitution whilst undermining the other half of the constitution and in the end all that came of it is that the people are suffering from it. All that infighting just means that no changes can happen as either the other side blocks changes from happening or reverts the changes that happened to remove any good the opposition has done for the country. They would rather make the population suffer in order to not give a victory to the other side instead of acknowledging the good that the other side might have caused.

[@notoriousriot250]

H Arz to be fair most of the time we still are united and we want whats best for the country but with just different ideas, its mainly the media and extreme members in the left, and some in the right. But when it comes down to it we usually unite under threat from others or a problem we all share.

There were some things Obama did not do even though he promised to do so, that is very true, but there were a TON of things he tried to pass but with Republicans forming a political blockade on all the things he wanted to get done, it made it rather difficult to pass laws with the way our system works. Obama also never said Obamacare was the perfect answer and it was a system to be worked on, but it was a great start at breaking up the monopolies that insurance companies have started forming. I am pretty sure at one point my own grandmother was on like 3 different insurance plans just because one company didn't want to cover the fact that she had diabetes, and then the other tried to deny her surgery when she broke her hip bones during a fall because they wanted to link the damage to being partly responsible from the diabetes. Obamacare was passed and those companies could no longer hold her accountable for pre-existing conditions and it was rather nice. As far as the economy goes, I am DEFINITELY not an economist, nor do I say I understand all the ins and outs of economics, but just look at the poverty maps from 2010 - 2016. The census bureau provides those and our overall poverty went from like 26% down to less than 14%, so whatever Obama was doing, did pretty well. It's also interesting to see how the ones deepest in poverty out of anyone in the country are from the southern states, where wages are typically lower and cost of living is like 3x as high as where it should be with the wages given.

[@ShepardVI]

Finally someone understands the failure of the two party system

[@notoriousriot250]

To be fair its better than the multi party system because if it was multiple it would be easy to miss corrupt or really evil and extreme agendas, the Nazi party won with 33 percent of the vote, here if you have a different party agenda you can still run, but most likely will lose, but still get your agenda out there to be absorbed by one of the main parties, its kinda how trump won, he use to be democrat then populist and was absorbed into the republican party

As a note, it's worth reading up on Romney's run as Governor of Massachusetts. He actually did not try to run in like a business.

I always laugh at this battle with the silver spoon reference because I have an actual solid silver baby spoon that my dad bought for me before he died. Its in my memento's in a heat sealed bag, funny part is we have always been pretty poor even though I was closer to being born with a silver spoon in my mouth than any rich kid. Also the unemployment rate was contested because of an argument that people stopped looking for work and dropped off unemployment and thereby showed a lower unemployment rate than there actually was. I know for a fact that the argument is true because I couldnt find a job during his term but I didnt have unemployment so I didnt count towards the statistics.
