We cannot ignore that the blobs have forward facing eyes, and are thus predators
-
I love how whenever something bad happens, the blobs look down and shake their heads
-
Man, I wish elections were as simple as houses and mangos.
-
Broke Political Compass: Socialist vs Capitalist + Anarchist vs Authoritarian Woke Political Compass: Apple vs Mango + Old houses vs Spooky houses
-
One thing I noticed about approval voting is how many blobs are outside of all candidates' ranges. If they want to vote honestly then they don't get a vote at all, so they're essentially forced to be strategic.
-
I appreciate that blue and red weren’t used in this video.
-
The blobs have evolved a lot. They learned to search and hunt. They formed an economy. They eradicated a disease. Now, they are looking for someone to be their leader.
-
As someone who believes CGP Grey's voting videos from 2011 should be shown to everyone, I'm so glad you made this! I feel like every possible political issue arises downstream from the voting system itself. It's hard to overstate how important that is.
-
One of the most accurate parts of this video was how much the candidates were changing their positions
-
In case somebody is interested: There is actually a theorem called 'arrows impossibilty theorem' which states that there is no fair ranked voting system that satifies certain quality criterias. One of the criterias is in fact the here mentioned spoiler effect doesnt occur.
-
This model ignores Italy: an infinite party system where everyone votes for himself, so no one ever wins.
-
You forget to mention a "Put in" voting: No matter who you vote, Putin always wins.
-
Plurality voting inevitably leads to what I like to call "Yes-no politics" where one party says "yes" to one issue and the other says "no". It reduces nuance and creates an easily divisive, black-or-white ideological landscape in viable politics.
-
Imagine political parties calling each other radical mangoists and wackyspookycurvy symphatizers.
-
For some reason, the fact that they are blobs made them somewhat more human and I felt bad when they lost and had that sad expression.
-
As a member of the mango-spooky house party, I find this video incredibly biased towards those establishment apple-normal house grifters.
-
"Just look how complacent they are." Orange Blob waves He's got my vote
-
I would vote Orange, reasons: -He likes nice houses, and prefers mango -He is a nicer color than any other of them -HE SAID HI TO GREEN 7:27 and that's cute :3
-
"as long as everyone votes" the blobs out of the range of any candidate: Am I a joke to you? Edit: I knew they would likely vote for the nearest candidate, I just ditched that fact for the sake of the joke.
-
as a Chinese i have to say u ignored our system where you don't get to vote.
