They don't usually put that many people on to a ballot anyway so rank choice voting doesn't really help in the us what we need is Representatives or Representatives elected by percentages like they do in Germany or something that's what we really need to change. What we need is to have more parties available to us that are part of Congress automatically. We need more Representatives that are really representing everyone as Independence in congress not just some BS about right choice voting we need more than that.
And now you're in a trade war with you neighbour and closest ally. Congrats! 😃
I’m here 9 months later. I never knew of this man but at the same time I’m happy to have discovered him! WE NEED TO SUPPORT HIM AND OTHER LIKE HIM! There’s people out there who are thinking like Bernie Sanders as well as being his successors! May God bless him!
From finally educationally realizing within social studies of an integration of politics and everything well politics is broken because nobody knows their education well enough or a lack of watching TV series or movies to integration as a solution to this lopsided earth. A sad crisis temperamental example is my zombiegordon twin screamed at my gramps politically and the problem is my unstable zombie gordon twin impersonated thanostrump basically with a lack of thinking educationally as for my gramps sadly well unfortunately I don't blame him not listening but a gain of perspective doesn't hurt. If all the audience would have thought educationally with a gain of leverage perspective then there would be no conflict but because there isn't that then the screaming is just gonna go on on and on along with 9 billion agains. As for me oddly, I obviously and honestly don't agree with anybody from party cults it's like a general life situation political topic on phones I don't agree what my granny says but do from my uncle side. Becuz of hearing both perspectives now it's educationally time to make stuff fair leveragely but the problem is my uncle has a hard time taking a step back and gaining an understanding perspective same for my granny gaining a perspective educationally and not assuming like a grouch mouch grump trump twin but also sad missing out as well so overall sad
I love you Andrew and that you do the math. So great how can we get this done?
great name
Australia did this over 100 years ago, so it's funny/sad seeing this being seen now as a "we're inventing the wheel" moment in the US in 2025. We don't allow politicians anywhere near our electoral process, and that means they have zero input into electoral boundaries, and zero input into running elections. Consequently politicians are forced to appeal(against their better nature) not to the fringes, but the centre, where most people are.
The US is a very poor example of how to run a democracy. The UK is even worse with its first-past-the-post system.
Yang you're literally supporting candidates and ideals that contribute to literally why US politics is broken, lol.
Ranked choice voting is the way of the future
Partisan Victory = Bipartisan Defeat
Won't fix it easy. The richest people own the two party system, and 3rd parties are censored on every social platform. I don't understand how people can vote and really participate when the word or information of a different person or party is last minute. Too risky that way for most, but for me if I see a better choice I vote on them. The green party is certainly not able to grow with the current systems overlords control of everything. I mean is bad Green Party member leadership and bad external issues make it impossible for growth.
Can we clone Andrew Yang and have all of our congress and judicial branch, replaced with the clones? Then maybe we could be proud of our Country again!

Five topics to fix society via discussion:
-Anti-natalism vs Natalism
-The 3 basic needs/prenatal needs
Three things necessary for human evolution that are provided while in the womb which are; food, shelter and medical care.
-Platinum rule
Do whatever makes one happier unless it interferes with another persons ability to do the same.
-MBTI (research yours and connect with others)
-Art (pick one and get better at it!)
It's supposed to be a democracy and the citizens have no say in the quality of their lives, corporations dictate our life quality because they give the politicians money and i don't even need 10 minutes
Yang gang
Yang gang!
The Choice of Constitutional Republic: An Analysis of the US Founding
Abstract
This article examines the US Founding Fathers' decision to establish a constitutional republic instead of a democracy during the Constitution's creation. We analyze the reasoning behind this choice, highlighting the risks of dictatorship inherent in democracy and the benefits of constitutional republicanism.
Introduction
In 1787, the US Founding Fathers convened to create a new government form. Following intense debates, they opted for a constitutional republic over democracy. This decision aimed to protect individual rights and prevent majority tyranny.
The Constitutional Republic: An Intentional Choice
Influenced by theorists like Montesquieu and Locke, the Founding Fathers understood that constitutional republicanism offered better guarantees of stability and liberty. James Madison argued in "The Federalist" (No. 10) that constitutional republicanism could control factions and protect minority rights.
Risks of Democracy
Pure democracy may lead to:
1. *Majority Tyranny*: The majority's will can disregard minority rights.
2. *Power Concentration*: Charismatic leaders can exploit emotions and promises to consolidate power.
3. *Public Opinion Manipulation*: Media control or propaganda can influence public opinion.
Benefits of Constitutional Republic
Constitutional republicanism offers:
1. *Individual Rights Protection*: Fundamental liberties guarantees.
2. *Separation of Powers*: Governmental power limitation.
3. *Political Representation*: Citizens elect representatives.
4. *Constitutional Limits*: Governmental power restrictions.
The US Constitution: A Constitutional Republic Model
The 1787 US Constitution established:
1. *Separation of Powers*: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches.
2. *Federalism*: Power distribution between federal and state governments.
3. *Individual Rights Protection*: Amendments I-X.
Conclusion
The Founding Fathers' choice of constitutional republicanism was a deliberate decision to protect individual rights and prevent dictatorship. The US Constitution serves as a model for constitutional republics worldwide.

It is working. Come to 3rd world countries or China to see how advance it is. Also thanks to it, you have the rights to speak about politic, ok?
Poor Sarah palin 😢
Yes! like in many high-income and upstream economy, the U.S. is facing a democratic crisis mainly because of the income polarization associated with the recent structural, trade and technological changes.
The move towards Radicalism and Extremism associated with the growthing importance of fair-left and fair-right populisms is weakening the U.S. democracy.
This is a very strategic topic!
I'm optimistic as we've started to accelerate the build of INCLUSIVE-DIVERSE AND PROSPEROUS COMPLEXITY ECONOMY IN THE USA.
Zero mention that the money is fake
I could have shortened this up for everyone. Yang is one of the biggest reasons politics is "broken." 😂
You want things to get better? Here's how: reduce federal government to it's most basic parts and remove them from our daily lives. The best thing the government can do to improve everything is to get the fu€k out of our way. Any time a democrat gains a seat at any level, they start figuring out how to grow government and how to make other people pay for it.
Why are people starting to steal content that's been on social media for years and claim it to be their own life experiences. Your opening joke is stolen from another creator and you sound stupid claiming it as your own.
America loves complainers. The issue with the border for example is that it can stop people who want to work more from working. That was an issue with slavery. The slave society would expand very rapidly and be a disgrace and terrible. They were incompetent.
But what it’s transitioned to is complaints about slavery. It becomes making things easy. That’s not what the problem was with slavery. It was stopping people who wanted things to be easy with slaves from stopping people who want to work from working.
Your a culture of sepaterious who want to manipulate situations with complaints about work. You’re trying to create a false narrative and destroy other culture. You want to make it so that Jesus lost and complained about what you told him to do.
You want to make it people complaining about work rather than things like taxes.
Jesus didn’t ask for your help. He didn’t ask for help from rats either
You re jealous of people who want to work. You’re jealous of people who wanted to end slavery.
The United States has lost its foundation – the Monroe Doctrine. now it’s just a toy in the hands of Europe
❤ the Israeli government already passed the bill inside the parliament to cease and freeze the unwar organization to operate in Gaza
❤ icc is not the organization !!!!!! Is a political party , too many bets you win
We need yang 2028
The whole country is broken. Greedy and selfish mindset. Money money money.
Sarah Palin was a somewhat more normal Marjorie Taylor Greene before she got into office 🤦🏾♂️🙄😂
Let’s be honest. Someone like Yang who only talks solutions will never be president. Americans want demagogues. Populists. Panderers. Just be charismatic and echo the talking points people want to hear and that’s how you become president. People like Yang who doesn’t play the political game, but who approaches issues with logic isn’t ever going to get elected. That’s the state of this country today.
I want to remind everyone this is a TED and not a TEDx and therefore the speaker is actually qualified
He is such an amazing speaker
This is just sad, the garbage system still exists today which keeps pushing capable people away from running
Yang was one of the first candidates I was ever enthusiastically behind- because he's one of the few in American politics that runs on solid plans rather than vague rhetoric and emotion.
Dear Andrew Yang, Your explanation is perfect. Please use your connections and resources to make Ranked Choice Voting a reality nationwide. Oregon is working on it. Thank you for your analysis and solution. It should make sense to over 80% of our citizens.
Meanwhile, Alaska is voting this year to remove this system. Our parties have convinced us we should be divided instead of working together, which this system does.
Everyone. Stay awake and keep read The Bible often, and keep pray🙏for our God. Because false doctrine against The Truth. Read The Bible so that you are not deceived by antichrist. Believe in the LORD Jesus👍. Our Savior LORD, Jesus who is The Way, The Truth, The Life(John14:6).Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of God's judgment has come. Worship Him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, the springs of water, and a male and a female(Revelation14:7.Genesis1:1,27).
I'm on that team! Team end the incentives 2024!!! Great talk- thank you!
This guy reminds me of older version of childhood friend.
No offense, he sound like kermit the frog at times.
I listen to what he has to say lot of the time
Interesting concept.
Would also love to require presidential elections to include the entire cabinet so we are voting for the team that runs and initiates its policies with a captain, the POTUS, and his team making it happen. Without doing this we don’t know who is actually running the country
Please fix politics!! Thank you Andrew Yang
Dumber is this idea from this Socialist
You want the truth? Probably not. But humor me anyway.
A compartmentalized force runs the world. At the core its only a handful of people; small enough to where you could fit them in a single room. Of course these people work in the shadows. Their faces never shown and names never mentioned. This controlling force has their people in key positions of power all throughout the world. You dont need a lot of people in on it. Only a few in key positions of power. Remember its a compartmentalized power structure. The higher you go the more they know. The further down you go the less they know.
yang made it clear. if you are in south dakota. Vote No on H. it is not the alternative we need to first past the post.
Primaries are more important❤
