Click on the You Tube logo, it will play
Yes, I know it plays OK but it just looks bad and doesn’t show the title of the video. I presume it is because YouTube gets no ad revenue from it but it seems a bit random, sometimes black, sometimes not.
I wondered if anyone knew Why?
Have tried using the browser URL and the Subscribe URL (slightly different address) but both seem just as random.
I’ve watched Episodes 1,2 and 3 of this “America’s Last Election” Series now and think they explained really well the background to all the chaotic events and conspiracy allegations surrounding the last Presidential Election.
It shows how a few nuggets of true events have been woven into a web of misinformation, lies and spin into a “conspiracy”
From the stuff that Trump has been saying in this current campaign, it is obvious that Trump has been gearing up to try to steal the election if he loses again this time round.
@Bruce - do you know if there’s more Episodes in this series and whether they have been broadcast yet?
I got the impression at the end of Ep 3 that there was at least one more Episode to watch but cannot find it.

I don’t know how many more episodes there are, they come out weekly. They are from the ABC in Depth Youtube site. I recently watched a good one explaining why the Democrats pushed so hard to get Kamala Harris in place - due to the Chicago democrat convention in 1968 (Armies of the Night and all that)
They are well researched, well thought out and even handed

And yet - I’m freaked out by this election. Not American, have moved to France, am living happily. Still freaked out. And I suspect that the chaos has not yet begun.

He won against Clinton with millions less votes so it will probably happen again.The world is run by rich old white men.

You have an excellent point, I think (hopefully) we (the American people) recognize the threat Trump and his followers pose to our great nation and will turnout in droves to vote, if we do, like in 2020, I believe we win . I have always said we were a Corpocracy, a nation controlled / run by Corporate America and the affluent, I also think my generation has offered (and supported) the worst, especially Presidents / candidate options (exception Barack Obama) the last 23 years, though I give GW (George W Bush) credit in his initial handling of 9/11. I believe it is time to push the leadership baton on to the next generation, it can hardly be worst than Trump / Biden, but even saying thus,Biden has done a much better job than many have given him credit for.
The electorate vote is no more than a "loophole), a means of manipulating the American vote, and it is long past it’s time to go.
Last time Trump had some reasonable political people with him eg:Pence but none of them want it again and now he’s got toady Vance ,Eric,Jnr and the mad Maga mob.And to make matters worse the sinister Bannon is out of jail and ready to help.
It doesn’t look good from here.

Although I did not align with Pence’s political ideology, I did find myself respecting his personal integrity in the fall-out of the Biden win
If not only Trump but also whole group with him has same lack of such that does not bode well.
While we are waiting for the results I watched this quite interesting video discussing why Harris was not “electable” in 2020.

I can’t understand the blanket coverage here. It’s as though there is no other news and they haven’t even closed the polls yet. It will surely be days before we know for sure?
Globalization, a historical process that describes the increasing integration of the world’s economies, cultures, and populations. It’s the result of human innovation and technological progress, and it’s characterized by the movement of goods, services, capital, people, and knowledge across borders.So, events occurring anywhere in the world effects most Industrialized nations and (at the least), International markets to some extent, some more so than others.
Trump wins the second important swing state and the trend seems obvious. Would be nice if I was wrong.

All polls have closed across the US and Donald Trump is leading, winning swing states and making gains in traditional Democrat strongholds.

unfortunately here in UK we get too much of trump on the news, makes you cringe
So it’s not too early to see the glass half empty.
Doesn’t look like there will be a female President for a very long time.
