Imagine we didn’t spend money on campaigns and instead voted based on their actions in theirs communities Its a pointless popularity contest
Comment from : @floridaman6982

Imagine having 28k to give it to a politician lol I cannot even afford a bicycle
Comment from : @manufacturedfear

You say oil companies can give millions of dollars to one candidate, but you also say you cannot give more than $2,500 to one candidate So, how can a company give millions to a single candidate?

Only a small percentage of people donate to politicians, and a HUGE percentage of people buy chips Not a good comparison

I still dont understand why campaigns need to raise hundreds of million of dollars for hotel rooms and flightsmaybe a commerical here and there still things ain't adding up
Comment from : @chasebrown917

Just like the rest of the DNC/liberal mainstream media (aka propaganda mill), PBS has been corrupted by the democrats (aka liberals/globalists) so its info is unreliable The lighthearted humor doesn't sufficiently disguise your misinformation Why not do a video on how politicians get rich via donations running for office (eg Bernie Sanders and ALL of the others)? Wouldn't want to expose the truth, right?
Comment from : @ped5906

'contributions are not bribes' based on what?brwhat do you suggest they are, charity?brcorporations showing civic responsibility?

Is it legal to make a youtube video advertising a presidential candidate without working or volunteering at an organization?
Comment from : @ftm_guy

Doesn't trump have a written note written in all caps that's says, everything is PERFECT! Hard to argue with all caps
Comment from : @blueprintandyou7540

I love PBS!
Comment from : @myalias3430

So, if the donation goes to a "good cause", the donation can essentially be unlimited, and candidates can join these "good cause" organizations in order to receive more money per individual Am I correct in my assumptions based on this video?
Comment from : @Mis4ha

If Craig only foreseen how Trump changed everything

Comment from : @andres16251

This video doesn't mention that US elections are the world's most expensive I think its an important comparison It should also be updated to include the growing number of candidate that are refusing PAC money
Comment from : @dtache724

Why does he say TV so weirdly???
Comment from : @maxlondon9521

Always skeptical of billionaires as politicians, yet non politician President Trump US elected Indeed, retaining former business associates as current political associates is never in the public's interest However, influencing elections outright is even worse Campaign finance reform is what the US should also be investigating as recent midterm elections had Tom Steyer contributing $120 million

Informative video, but you are so unfunny it is literally painful

NO UTERUSbrNO VOTE
Comment from : @klaptkrew9668

Crash course alright heavily glossed over about which elements in campaigning should run in hundreds of millions of dollars Campaign buttons and signs Seriously? One would think that the digital information age would make it cheaper and easier to spread Is it necessary to shell out 10's of millions of dollars to GoDaddy for website production and Youtube channels? Network television time slots shouldn't mean as much as they once had, in fact they're becoming more archaic after each cycle, and that should be considered a good thing!
Comment from : @happydonutfarts

do you guys understand what a permanent campaign is?

If money is speech I refuse to pay taxes for wars I don't agree with
Comment from : @willieclark2256

why is there no comparison to other governments and campaigns finance reform? is there a link to a less biased video?
Comment from : @larryteslaspacexboringlawr739

So, what he is saying, is that big companies are unable to provide very much funding to individual campaigns and people running (aka a small 3rd party) however instead they are encouraged to provide "not a bribe contributions" to major political parties? Sounds less like an ethics law and more like a law restricting any third party from ever reaching the public

Comment from : @KoruGo

This series is wonderful, but is there any way of getting hold of the sources for the statistics being mentioned ?
Comment from : @bethanlaughlin7097

Even as an American I am very confused why the election takes so long
Comment from : @romanwing1499

If the Supreme Court already prohibited the limitation on campaign donations, how would congress prohibit it ????

Ahh, US politics The most complicated system of politics
Comment from : @mawgans9646

Looking for a Crash Course episode that explains the details of caucuses - what actually happens
Comment from : @mercury523

If we limit the contribution, but don't limit the spending, isn't that gonna create more incentives to billionaries to run for office ?
Comment from : @TheOsamaBahama

Teeeveee
Comment from : @NickSheridanVids

Citizens United can be summed up into "one dollar, one vote" so a rich person has much more votes than a poor onebrkinda goes against the spirit of "one person, one vote" don't you think?

I love how you say "TV", hahah

Comment from : @mansamusa1743

want to limit campaign corruption? make term limits for congress
Comment from : @trevorbennet4551

For the question "why are campaigns so expensive", they seem to avoid the most obvious conclusion, which is that 1) spending more on a campaign is correlated to a better result in the election and 2) a good result in the election is very profitable If your opponent is spending more than you, you'll want to spend more than them So what is the limit? the limit is how much money you think you'll make back from that investment If the cost of campaigns goes up with every election, it means they haven't yet reached the ceiling on the returns for their investments
