Political Parties: Crash Course Government and Politics #40
Today, Craig is going to talk about political parties and their role in American politics. So, when most people think about political parties they associate them with the common ideologies of the voters and representatives within that party, but the goal of a party is NOT to influence policies. The role of political parties is much simpler: to win control of the government. So today, we’re going got talk about why we have political parties in the first place and then finish with the five functions they use in reaching that goal. It’s a lot to cover, so next week we’ll talk about what each political party stands for and how that has changed historically.

As a European I have always wondered: What is the story behind the donkey and the elephant as party logos?

Just because someone has a different opinion than you doesn't make them stupid, uneducated, and it doesn't give you the right to assume you know who they are and what they've been through. We constantly argue until the arguing dissolves into name calling and threatening. We don't even try to see things from a different perspective most of the time. We're thinking selfishly. How hard is it to just try to be more open minded for once, especially when this election is going to have an impact on the whole world? Just once?

You are a bleating foal, a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal accompanying your alleged birth into this world. KEN BONE bout to take your job An insensate, blinking calf, meaningful to nobody, abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts who sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.

The moral of this series:
If you have no friends and have a sense of humor that makes people want to jump off the space needle. All you need to do is make a spinoff series on the same channel as someone who actually has an ounce of charisma, and trick people into thinking it's the same thing. -
2:54 ALL of these things could easily be done without the divisive allure of political parties perpetuating a tribalistic mentality in our political system. Outlaw political parties 2016!
