    Lol, what an excellent video! So true, especially love the ending bit.

    Personally I love politics. I love the pull and push, the clever word games, the avoidance of issues, the subtle innuendos, the twisting of arguments, the straw men... until it gets serious.

    Politics changes peoples lives. It matters and is a very serious issue. But the UK system, much like what I can see of the US system, is far from perfect. So far in fact as to be almost completely broken. It has all become a power grab, nothing more. Personally I blame party politics. Do I have a better system - no. Do I think I do - yes. Does anyone care - not in the slightest.

    Love the video though, thanks for sharing. Which character would you be?

    "Yes, our front runner is not the best candidate, but I want to win, so I'm just going to pretend that he's good"

    I have watched this three times now and it just gets funnier and funnier.

    *sigh* buzzfeed....

    Basically, the whole group except that one girl liked sanders.

    She like Hilary.

    The waiter liked trump.

    This whole video bashes trump.

    Typical Buzzfeed. The worst part is how they had a chance to make this good..but nah...

    Why don't people actually read the policies instead of getting their news from Twitter?

    This is more like how 12 year olds who get their news from Twitter/Facebook argue politics...

    Anyways...

    It's a really accurate portrayal of how most political discussions go. Less about factual, verifiable information and more about people's subjective experiences. No matter whom you support, most people are not terribly interested in letting pesky things like facts get in the way of their unbridled support for whomever they support.

    That is your take on it. Here in the UK they all liked Labour, the girl like Lib Dems, and the man was Conservative.

    It was about how people talk about politics, not about politics. Why was it Trump bashing?

    Having said that I watched a few other buzzfeed videos following the above and they were not very good, I have not subscribed.
