  • Video is still relevant. gonna share it with my Facebook peeps now and see what they have to say.

  • 0:43 when he says "u wer born into a 2 party system & will die in a 2 party system" makes me just.... Uh, i feel sad, & trapped, idk how 2 express it. But at 1:23 wen he says "ur out of luck" its sexy but scary at the realism of it

  • Damn, i cant enough of micheal aranda. He hot, yet a genius & everytime he talks he speaks poetry & awesomeness. I can't help but fall in love with everything he says wether its a joke or he is being dead serious. He is truly awesome

  • fuck me ur hot

  • ily

  • when he speaks it's like . . . . SEXY!!

  • WTF that was awesome.

  • You are completely right!! You rock michael!!

  • you're so fucking right. i can't believe you managed to put it into so few words, and explained it so well.

  • i can't get over the fact that there were actually people who disliked this

  • this is stupid. our two party system is bullshit.

  • @krakatoa0mikel This whole video is supporting that fact. It's satire.

  • @krakatoa0mikel that's kinda the point. lol

  • "GOP get off my peter, Democrats lie down"! Check out "The Parties Over" then

    Boycott 2012

  • sooo there is totally a ad for donald trump for president on the side of this video right now. awkward donald trump is awkward. gtfo.

  • pledge of allegiance... lol, propably one of the creepiest things i've heard...

    only in america! oh wait... and in nazi germany too, lol :D

  • I love to party also.

  • i have a question for anyone seeing these comments: how can god bless america, when america stopped blessing god ?

    people say that we should take god out of everything, schools famillies CHURCHES and our COUNTRY. but they seem to be forgetting that our country was FOUNDED on god. and the RELIGION that people scoff at and hate is the same RELIGION that started and influenced the success of this country. now that theres less of God in all that america does, it seems like americas going downhill 2

  • @imjustageekycookie I agree She is not going to bless us if we keep trying to remove her from our schools and pledges and stuff.

  • @imjustageekycookie i thought the US was founded on the principle of a separation of church and state. Have religious beliefs but thats not the place of state schools to teach. If they do, they have to teach a balance of all religions.

    Do not teach creationism in science classes. Science is about what can be tested and proven over and over again. Creationism is theology about how it all began. don't teach them in the same class.

  • @imjustageekycookie well, yes and no. I believe America was founded on the freedom, wether it be religious or otherwise. The 1st settlers came over to America to escape religious persecution. And religion has very little to do with the county as a whole. And, not that you mentioned it, but "under God" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in the 1950's, not during the times of the founding fathers. DFTBA.

  • wow, this one is extremely good! i mean, EXTREMELY good.

  • tvpnc.org

    there is a solution

  • 1:25

  • Comment removed

  • are political parties/organized factions even legitimate under the u.s. constitution?

  • @XLnotsofunny

    From my understanding the founding fathers warned against factions and political parties, fearing they would gain too much power. Basically they were very worried about concentrated power. ie: political parties, corporations etc..

  • i totally understand the message behind this video and i think it's really important. the only problem is, with more than 2 parties, less than the majority of the country will always be upset with the president, no matter how much support he gets from his own party.

  • @ecofreak303 Well that's not much different than the 49% of America who are on the other side of the winning party.

  • totally using this for my ap government project. thanks a lot

  • Truly a failed country, the Demorats and Republirats are driving this country under. The fact is you better prepare for 3rd worlding of the United States Of Ameritard, already happening in lots of areas. Forget about the two parties truly caring about the good of this country and its citizen. Time to stock up on guns, ammo, canned food and a huge blockhead type dog.

  • And still the brainwashed American sheeple let the 2 party system continue in this election by electing all these Republicans.

  • @esc1127 Both Democrats AND Republicans are at fault. Twentieth Century historian Carroll Quigley wrote in Tragedy and Hope that the elite manipulate elections in order to keep “the two parties almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy.” The elite have successfully done that for nearly a hundred years and the well trained sheeple will keep doing it for another 100 years!

  • @kenzo5716 I know that thats why I was complaining about people still falling for it for the most part this past election. I didn't read that, but saw the G Edward Griffin lecture the Quigley formula, it is on YT also.

  • @kenzo5716 I just mentioned Republicans because they are the ones comming back in this time, I should have clarified that just because we need to throw Dems out, don't be a sheeple and replace them with Republicans. I did mention the 2 party system though, that includes Republicans.

  • This should be a tv commercial...

  • I like how you claim that there are millions of individuals but you, yourself look like 20% of the teen population.

  • Good thinking, great work! The two-headed monster oligarchy keeps bashing itself on the heads while ripping this country to shreds. mph4ya, Clearwater

  • You have even less than two parties. Just slightly different flavours of the same party, the Business Party. Saying the Republicans and Democrats represent right and left wing ideologies is just ridiculous.

  • The USA left is just like our right.

  • our government teacher showed this to us today...cool, entertaining and easy to understand. Awesome!

  • Hands down one of my favourite videos on YouTube.

  • Very well done, I really enjoyed this video and I think you should make more like it, and if it is possible I would like to talk to you about future videos similar to this one. I would also like to help do a video or participate in some way in a video about politics. Keep up the good work.~Anthony Strange~

  • This is an articulate, passionate video. I almost passed over it upon reading its title because I took it at face value, not convinced that any sarcasm was necessarily implied.

  • Please don't ever delete this.

  • Nice - You've made me subscribe! Keep up the good work, friend..

  • Beautiful image quality. Excellent direction. Great editing. Cool music. Passionate acting emotion.

    Obvious, redundant, common knowledge message. Uh, duh. We get it. Already had it before you started telling us.

    Is water wet? Is the sky blue? And, oh, yeah, there are a whole bunch of other political parties, by the way. The real ruler of this country is money. Nothing more.

  • I guess the idea the founding fathers had about "citizen politicians" went right out the window.

  • I like this! You're very creative! Good for you!

  • democrat + republican = Gambino + Gotti

  • fucken awesome video! 5 stars all over

  • The two-party system is tyranny. In order to have more freedom, we must have multiple political ideologies and parties in our government.

  • dude you are a bad ass and i love your video.

    but you need to lay off the green day attire

  • Kind of like it. I am a Republican that will reregister to non affiliated. The Democrats are pretty bad but you can't go back to what got us this current batch, the Republicans. So sick of both parties.

  • (4) The corporate media (i.e., the mainstream media) are another huge part of the problem. More than anyone or any other institution, the media have the power to include a variety of perspectives in their coverage. Instead, they feature only establishment figures and ask them no real questions. The corporate media are completely invested in the two-party system.

  • (3) It seems the only feasible ways to give third parties a chance are (a) abolishing the Electoral College, (b) getting rid of corporate personhood, (c) destroying the system of legalized bribery through public financing of elections, and/or (d) finding a billionaire willing to devote huge sums to one or more third parties. In the case of (d), the third party/parties would most likely be conservative or libertarian, but not always; Warren Buffett and George Soros would deviate from that norm...

  • (1) It's called polyarchy.

    (2) At least Democrats acknowledge that there are many grey areas, and the Democratic Party has far more ideological difference within it than the Republican Party does. However, the leadership of the Democratic Party, including whoever holds the presidency, has, at least since the Reagan Administration, been pathetically Republican Lite.

  • I love how you put the video into black and white and the shadowed face also help to accentuate the two party idea.

  • majoritys suck cause there is no long term plans it just gets undone and lots of people get ignored up to 49% minorities make parties have to work together

  • Great video.

    The two party system is a manipulative lie.

  • 1,000th rating... yay

  • DAMNED GOOD START

  • wonderful

  • I love you

  • ...ehem good observation, i favorited this and then pressed the undo link....i would have kept my instinct to favorite this video if it went beyond preaching the obvious and posed possible solutions to our american-sized problem

  • but indeed a good video

  • wow..43.335 views..

    the most of all the vlogramen vids.

  • Truly incredible.

  • Thank You Michael Aranda... I like the way you think... and like even more the way you convey what you're thinking.

  • Absolutely amazing!

  • This one of the best entertaining video's with a clear message I have seen.

  • Cool video, and that guy is HOT too.

  • Beautiful Michael. Thank you.

  • One of the best videos on YouTube.

  • this is a freaking awesome video .. that really makes me think ... that is what you are doing. that is what you were meant to do, man.

  • that was brilliant.

    kinda creeped me out, it was kind of borderline propaganda lol. or that's the feel it had. great satire as collapseofthedollar said. (your username is ironic in this context xD)

    and also...that video was very, very hot lol :]

  • Wonderful video, thanks for sharing your thoughts, they're AWSOMEEEE

  • that was so amazing... i live in Canada so i have more then two, but not really. the green party and the bloc dont count, we have three and they are all almost the same anyways yay!

  • I was going to say the same thing!

  • So what is your suggestion? A three-party system?

  • How about a one-party system?

  • well is that any better then two?

    youve heard the phrase, two heads are better then one. but a lot is better then only two.

  • If I could favorite this twice, I would.

  • No, you favorite it, or you don't. There are only two solutions.

  • Comment removed

  • Green Party?

  • great piece of satire, keep up the good work

  • satire?

  • vote LIBERTARIAN!!!!

  • Just when people begin to stand up and speak truth,even if it is repeated.Would you rather listen to the same bullshit lies that have been crammed down our throats for centuries?

  • here you go, oh wait you just used up some more of your time to read this :P my bad

  • ignoring all the novels for comments everyone else wrote, i really like this. a lot.

  • "another moron trying to act "deep" under the guise of "thinking outside the box". The WHOLE WORLD essentially has a two party system, socialism and individualism, "

    You're ignorance of politics gives you away. There are a hundred different political theories and thoughts. Socialist anarchist, which are thought to be exactly opposite, is one example. Another example would be militant environmentalism, and another would be nationalist conservatism.

  • Those are still LEFT or RIGHT on the political spectrum.

  • Oh, hello there.  I'm the "moron" in this video and I think the irony contained within has been lost on you.

    Also, you've got some nice guns, there. ;)

  • THEIR two party system.The national debt is THEIRS.

    You have been massively deceived. Actually, there's no national debt. See: cafr1(dot)com

    The UNITED STATES is a corporation masquerading as a government. And it's bankrupt.

    Every living man and woman born in America is a creditor to the bankrupt UNITED STATES via the registration of their birth record with the state. Which the IMF (International Monetary Fund) monetizes.

  • fantastic

  • That was spectacular.

  • Watch "How The Elites Control Politics".

  • You rock! need I say more? :-)

  • DIVIDE AND CONQUER. Democrats against Republicans, blacks against white, old against young, rich against poor, male against female. As long as the republic is divided, the people never rise up as one to defeat the evil root of all their problems and enslaves them: the bankers and global elite.

  • SCARCITY. Divide, conquer and make certain things scarce. Hemp oil is a holistic wonder "drug" yet its illegal so the pharmaceutical companies can profit from truly dangerous drugs. Money supply is made abundant and then scarce. Milton Friedman and many others proved this was the modus-operandi behind the private Federal Reserve Banks. It's how all central banks manipulate the economies and thus the people.

    Oil is made abundant then scarce. A plethora of taxes make spendable FRNs scarce.

  • wooo!

  • "Obama Bumper Sticker (so much for change!)"

  • You obviously don't know this person very well. :)

  • shut up

  • I>

    Independent

  • This may be the only video on all the servers in all the gin bars on all of YouTube that has been palpably enhanced by the black side bars of doom. And you had to walk into it. Or something like that. (No, nothing like that. I'll fix it in post.)

  • your teeth provide fantastic contrast in monochrome and there are only 2 ways of taking that ;-]

    excellent resistance video

  • wow michael, you are truly amazing.

  • jesus christ, the mind of the creator of this is truly astonishing. wow, to say the least.

  • intensely well spoken you are, michael aranda.

    Favorited. 5 Starred. Deserved to the highest degree.

  • I've watched this multiple times now...and I still get goosebumps. Very powerful and thought-provoking. Good job!

  • This is an amazing video, a shatteringly true statement, and a point we need to make known.

    Thank you for putting this out there.

  • You are Free to do as we Tell You.

  • omfg, i love the lighting in this.... and where was this shot?! lol

  • This video is, thus far, the best video I've ever watched on YouTube. And I suspect I will at least never find another politically-oriented video that will surpass it. Excellent editing/production, excellent message!

  • Democrats=Communists

    Republicans=Fascists

  • In Canada we have more than two parties because we're sweet. So, everyone move to Canada!

  • I concur

  • ( i was agreeing to 333buttercup)

  • i didn't realise their were only two candidates for election in america. Anyones allowed to go up for election in the UK but you have to pay a fine to show your serious.

  • Well, there are other parties/candidates, but they have no real chance of gaining votes in America, unfortunately. That's why parties like the Constitution Party, Libertarian Party, Green Party, etc. and politicians like Ron Paul (who ran as a Republican but is more of a Libertarian) don't have any real chance at winning, b/c America is stuck in a 2 party rut. :( It sucks.

  • You think I'm lame? You've hurt my feelings!

    ;)

  • o.O This kinda makes me happy I'm Australian...

  • this is so amazing

    mad skills michael

  • this is great. it should be featured. of course it wont, though, because youtube has morphed from a free and open forum small user based site into an anti-radical big-business/government-ass-ki­ssing site. which sucks.

  • Break free from the two-dimensional world of politics.

    Vote Bob Barr.

  • i like boobs

  • wonderfully made.

    i love it ^_^

  • Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

  • vote libertarian

  • I just linked my friend to this video, and when it pulled up there was a Trojan condom advert. o_O

    I had no idea that's what this video was about.

  • Yeah the 2 party system prevents people like Bush becoming president.

  • Also the two party system if it took control of the congress would impeach an incompetent criminal president. Both parties would never support a bailout for the wall street banks. Both candidates received donations from Goldman Sachs too.

  • It's only the "wingnuts" who have any good idea about how to help this country. It is the mainstream that is flowing over a cliff. God help us from the mainstream. It is the mainstream that is crying for tyranny.

  • wow that was a top class film

  • yay yay awesome i agree.

    i mean that there should be more than two ways.

    that's deep, man.

  • genius

  • But, there is only one party the Corporate Plutocracy appearing as two parties. So far they has pulled it off. McCain & Obama reprresents the same interest. Neither, can change things, because the Legistlative Branches of government have no actual authority. The Central Banks of nations have the REAL power.

  • Two party system makes it easy for the mass media. How could they have a debate of pundits when you want to mix in all the other thoughts from other people. They pull out the phonebook and schedule talking bubble head Republican and then schedual a talking bubble head Democrat. Then they call that fair and balanced.

  • I i'm feeling naughty at the moment v

  • i think i have watched this way to much already...lol

  • The 2 party system has really become farce.

  • interesting video ...

  • Senator McCain voted for the $850B bailout.

    Senator Obama voted for the $850B bailout.

    Its your decision.

  • gee thats such a shock, dont you think?

  • Excellent video.

  • Ah, we all have our own independent parties that we love. The only problem is, we haven't gotten to the point where one independent party has gained enough support to actually win an election.

    Do I vote independent to make a political statement that few will hear?

    Political individualism is great, but the problem is, voting Independent generally steals votes from the Democrats, giving the Republicans (who contains a much smaller percentage of people who vote independent) a "pseudo vote".

  • you make a wonderful point.

    "we haven't gotten to the point where one independent party has gained enough support to actually win an election."

    And we never will if people keep on thinking like that. Only when enough people get tired of being kicked around and band together can another party ever hope to gain any real ground.

  • it seems like, even if you're views are kind of in the middle... you still have to settle with one or the other. that is why i feel like i will have no confidence in my vote for this election.

  • they totally got ya reeled in and ready for harvest.

  • More Quality political gob shite! Wonderful! Politicians?? Execute them all!

  • I just checked the stats for this. Wow, you've made quite the impression. Nice.

  • Dark Knight. Ask A Ninja. Arandafied.

  • it saddens me that people who are posting "their points of view" don't expect to have any kind of rebuttal but the minute that someone posts that doesn't coincide with their point of view people have to get all defensive. This is michaels point of view...why bash him for it? There are PLENTY of other videos out there that are pro this or pro that...yet why aren't you hounding them?

  • Your good!

  • The demoepubs just screwed the worlds economy buy using poor peoples tax money to fund billionaire CEO's. This bail out will cause more financial crisis in the future....You will see.....

  • This is my favorite video ever.

    Nicely done Micheal.
