1. I think its pretty obvious that John is secretly is a nintendo Gamer fan
2. Fuck therapy, fuck meditation, fuck medication... just go through a couple of John Oliver videos early in the morning and your day is set as FINE !!! cheers mate.. & this is an opinion from an internet engineer !!
3. What's wrong with being against minimum wage?
4. Okay, so now John Oliver dislikes skepticism of government and corporate powers? That doesn't seem like a good idea. I believe Jill was naive and there were problems with her ideas, however, criticizing her for understanding where these fringe skeptic groups are coming from and trying to offer them a more transparent government and an investigation of corporate powers to ease possible concerns shouldn't be considered a problem. So what if that guy thinks Jill believes in? She wanted to prove to these people with transparent evidence rather than dismissing them as idiots (regardless of the ridiculousness that is part of some of the parts of their beliefs). She's trying to do something good with these specific things while bringing answers to less "fringy" people who are skeptical about the government and large oligopolies swaying congressmen and hiding terrible practices
5. 12:15 soooo Drumpf is eliminating all those departments now.
6. I want to speak to someone who gave a dislike to this...honestly, I wanna have a debate with that person and I'm not trolling nor do I want to sound condescending..so...go.
7. These writers are pure gold when it comes to comedy + research.
8. Redo this story! Electoral college needs to be dismantled and the Green Party needs to be endorsed by celebrities. Please re-do your research on Jill and Ajamu. This coverage was unfair and politically regressive. There wasnt policy because 1) ya'll didnt read the platform and 2) solutions have to come from the bottom up, not the top down. thats why she couldnt know. the bottom up is telling the people the platform, not idolizing (or smashing the idol) of the individual.
   
   Also we're 1trillion in student debt in America and we've already spent like 50 million on DJTs vacation and like 4 trillion on bailing out banks... banks that shouldve/should be forced to break up or become worker-owned. Policy will come to the bottom up... When the US is ANTI WAR like the Green Party is. (Jill would never attack Canada or MX or any of our allies)
   
   Also, why trust big pharma? I trust innoculation and vaccination because its an ancient African technology deep down, but other big pharma can suck it. Also, EVERYTHING needs more research. Reparations needs more research, doesnt mean that once a grassroots policy for reparations that regional majorities agree with...that I won't claim reparations and understand how im being repaired by the support and not just allowed to survive..
   
   Thanks for covering these people, either way. I did my research and registered for the Green party and voted Stein-Baraka. :p Heard Baraka speak yesterday and I regret nothing
9. Hey. Hey Stein. Johnson.
   
   Thanks a lot, assholes.
10. Now, when Jill Stein stated she was not aware of evidence linking autism with vaccines, that is the correct way to put it. It isn't her fault that the country is stupid and they think if she doesn't see know of any evidence, it could exist rather than what she really said which was, there is no proof so there is no reason to believe it is related.
11. Ok, I put on these videos as background a lot of the time, so I've seen/heard this video a few times now. It always bugs me how Gary Johnson blows up at the reporter who asks about 3rd party candidates taking votes away from the main candidates (at about 3:15). That's a legitimate question, and it deserved a legitimate answer instead of him just yelling at her. That's probably not even her opinion, she's just trying to do her damn job. He even asks her "Why would you say that?" Oh I'll tell you why Gary, it's because that's a commonly held belief about 3rd parties, and has historical precedence for being true. I know the election's long over and done with at this point but damn he pisses me off. Being a libertarian doesn't give him license to be unprofessional. Ugh! /flips table/

13. I saw a tiger!
14. where the fuck are Gary Johnston's eyebrows I can't see them wtf am I just blind or...
15. So John agrees that it's wrong to dismiss candidates but he never even acknowledges Bernie Sanders. What a fucking hypocrite.
16. I still want Johnson. He's better than the idiot we landed with.
17. was that guy wearing Bluetooth headphones in that conference
18. I think the problem with the 2016 election, based on most of the comments from this video and many like it, is that politics is seen more as a religion and a differing view is seen as a personal attack.
19. So we have enough money to give it to fat cats and borderline criminals but not for kids who are in the first generation to do worst then there parents.
20. I think that the best thing that Gary could do for any campaign is just to keep his mouth shut.
