  1.  Chris T  The US has multiple branches so 1 party can win in one branch while another wins elsewhere. As it is we don't know which party will "win" in the Senate. It is clear that voters picked Biden to be President however.

  2. Media usually call an election when they think they have an estimate of who the votes favor. That is both common and honest. Imagine being so indoctrinated that you view trying to steal an election as supposedly protecting it?

  3. Agreed. And I noticed a few people trying to do the inaccurate "both sides" claim. Democrats put forwards a bill to ban gerrymandering for US House districts in 2021 and passed it through the House. Republicans in the US Senate filibustered it. Even worse lower Federal Courts were tearing up gerrymandered maps across the USA. And then Republicans ran to conservative SCOTUS members to get them to stop the trend towards honest elections. So at the national level Republicans-not Democrats-have been protected gerrymandering when it would've been banned in 2 different ways across the USA (1 of which included both State and Federal Districts). I think it really matters to any swing state that there is no gerrymandering so that the state can swing properly-as it should according to how voters decide. But honest elections (not gerrymandered ones) should be how things are done across the USA. Yes Democrats did gerrymander in some states like Illinois and Maryland. But they supported nationwide bans on gerrymandering that would have ended it for all 50 states. Since Republicans pushed to keep gerrymandering around any state that still has gerrymandering in it today has Republicans to blame for it being allowed to continue. If Republicans want to make a change for the better then the solution is easy-pass a nationwide ban on partisan gerrymandering.

  4. Is it still a democracy? If it is then you still have a chance to correct things including both the Trump-lite President down there and corrupt people impeaching others supposedly over corruption in an attempt to avoid facing their own court case.

  5. casey 7 are you saying rightwing elites and autocrats from across the planet are getting together to undermine democracy as 1. Maybe, though different rightwingers would have to agree and I don't always see them doing that-Trump would have to agree with french elites for example.

  6. Good video and the anti-gerrymandering referendum mattered a lot. Stopping Republicans from rigging or trying to steal elections (again) resulted in the voters having votes that mattered. I noticed it has been Republicans stopping a national ban on gerrymandering getting through Congress. Pity more of them didn't support honest elections. And no, trying trying to lie about an honest election that he lost is not making things more honest. How do I know he lost? He tried to lie about the election results in my state and I checked on the details. I feel much better about mail in ballots where I live and that they result in honest elections that Republicans lying about elections and trying to move district lines to steal them.
