Also many of the federal and state institutions are toothless compared to wealthy individuals and companies/corporation.

After the Electoral College votes they will then announce who the next president is.

[@ilikewindows3455]

Every History Matters video No one - Literally no one - James Bissonnette and Kelly Moneymaker - ah yeah, here we roll again!

[@SvenElven]

Funfact, «Moneymaker» is an anglization of the German name “Nurmacher” which was a surname taken by families who were in the business of minting coins!

00:32 "This included principles like the right to self determination" The irony of showing Austria-Hungary during this line. Many border lines completely ignored regional ethnic makeup.

[@gamermapper]

The irony of the USA claiming to care about self-determination when Austria Hungary had way more local representation, as well as recognition of unique culture and language for all its peoples then the US does even today for Native Americans

[@hello7522]

@@gamermapperSo… to be more representative of the Us’s many different ethnic groups, it should install an inbred dictator?

This seems a bit like Churchill advocating for what would become the ECSC (the forerunner to the EU) then the UK refused to join until the 1970's (and then left about 40 years later).

World Power wants a club to "reign in" other world powers, flips table when everyone gets to vote on trade and taxes. Same old story since 1776 on this side of the water. :D

What was Europe's reaction to Napoleon proclaiming himself emperor ?

great video thanks for sharing 👍✅

Congress refused to pass as they, rightfully, saw that only they can decide when the country goes to war with another. The President does not have the authority to declare war. This treaty would circumvent this power of congress.

[@zyffyr]

Yup, and then a few generations later they willing ceded that power to the president. Times certainly do change.
