Once you’re done saving democracy by voting, help save HAI from a future of (even more) mediocre videos by suggesting a topic. Unlike voting, where you get rewarded by having your country be a little less terrible, with our topic suggestions, you get rewarded with one (1) single alright-looking Half as Interesting branded t-shirt (if we use your suggestion.) So suggest a topic here… now… please: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfUdlvw6YgU44J8AnM2U_ZvRMyvh_CUM51LYSqF5nYJB9d1-w/viewform?usp=sf_link

As a New Zealander with dual NZ-US citizenship and voted in the 2020 US Presidential election, I didn't care if people voted for Biden or for Trump (I voted Biden btw). What mattered to me was that people voted, period.

@justin fwibber no one has won in court and the trump campaign hasn’t conceded, thus no one has won. You should learn how the process works before taking about it. The media can declare a winner but it doesn’t mean anything.

3:57 Singapore does assign seats in its legislative/parliamentary elections in a similar fashion to the Electoral College system (i.e. winners take all), with ~80 of the 93 seats in Parliament being amalgamated into electoral constituencies of 4-6 seats each (whose borders are also re-drawn before every election) and which are contested collectively (each political party can choose to send a team of candidates to contest each constituency, thought 3 or more cornered fights are uncommon). The winning political party in each constituency gets all it's seats irregardless of the winning margin size. That's a way the ruling political party managed to win 83 seats in this year's election with 61% of the popular vote

They vote in spake, cause it's fake!.... as.is voting.for that matter.. if voting made a difference. they wouldn't let you do.it, and it would be done online,.with a click.
What I find interesting is that you say the electoral college is exclusive to America. Did you ever look into how voting is done for the European Union? It is exactly the same.
Any data on how many thousands of them voted for Biden?
They cast illegal votes

Seriously, stop with this political ideology nonsense. It's been creeping into your videos more and more. You were my favourite ALther for a long time, but now almost every video you slip in some stuff about your political leanings. It's like when sports leagues do it; it's gross.
Some *spacious* puns...
This is half as interesting
Intergalactic elections please
He said at least some level of civilisation still exists if youre watching this after the election aahh id beg to differ
Why don't we just let the government lizard be President? It probably wouldn't do dumb stuff like start wars, raise taxes, or have sex scandals.
They should just elect their own local Congressman.

Russia's voting is easy, they ask what the astronauts want to vote for, then they ignore it along with the rest of all voters.
“and while it turns out that Texas doesn’t like voting by poor people or people whose last names end with “o” or “z”...” I live in Texas and I approve this message.

He's gotten very political.
When I opened this video i got an ad about an astronomy online course...
Sam, you're awesome. Would you consider perhaps being more awesome by leaving the political commentary (voter suppression, etc.) out of your videos? It's a bit controversial at the moment, and I'm trying to watch HAI to escape the political crap on other 3-letter initialism video channels (ABC, NBC, CNN, CBS, FOX, etc.).

Lul I love that the Space Force logo is on there.
I came here for entertainment and not something media has already told me a thousand times. Sorry Sam, but you’re not a good friend.
After the initial whining using anti trump conspiracy theories, I kept watching for another minute to see if that was you being ironic, but I couldn't take it after that. If it's all a joke, you might want to be slightly less deadpan about it, but if you're serious about that, please don't pretend you're here to tell us interesting stuff about voting when you're a little more interested in bullshit propaganda.

Thanks for the Vox into HaI
so Sam spent the entire intro on about "every vote mattering"/ america bad this america bad that. Then spent most of the video talking about how the U.S. goes great length to get U.S. Astronaut votes, then brushed off Canada's ability to do the same cos "canada good as long as its mr blackface, humankind Justin Trudeau"
the electoral college is not exclusive to America. There are many including first world countries who use it, and countless others who use a similar method. gosh liberal americans think anything critique-able of America only happens in America

@The Sauciest Boss Thanks! I don't care about what side of the aisle someone is on, I just want the truth to be told and lies to stop being spread. Lying is definitely not party based either. All politicians from both sides do it all the time and people who don't see that probably haven't looked at politics very closely lol.
