And even better, he did it by asking a rhetorical question instead of accusing Cenk of anything. That makes a guy pause and listen, even a feisty dude like Cenk. Nice move, Jesse.

True that,

"....knows his shit 9 out of 10 times." Couldn't help but think: Jesse, "Who didn't flush!? Who didn't FLUSH!? Oh, it was me?"

Troll Baron watch the entire 50min interview and you will hear Cenk respond to that. I still believe your wasting vote, not going to make much different, unless 3rd party has large media notice.

+El Paxton The Great You do realize you're using the "R" word. Do you know people it can hurt? I do.

+Kat Sam I may add a few more >>> here and there, but you're right.

agreed. vote for who you *actually* want in office so that next time the dnc won't take your vote for granted.

Sherman Herritt Podesta (Hillary's campaign manager) said they do many times

I would pay to see that happen

Sherman Herritt You are clearly with Hillar so you should know she believes in Aliens

Sherman Herritt I have seen your other comments brah

Sherman Herritt Well if you think Ventura is crazy for believing in aliens then you must believe Hillary is too

Jesse Ventura is a shill

MilitantAntiTheist Wow! He did? What a boner

MartinATL The difference being what? More voters? More brainwashed masses to convince that they don't have to vote democrat or republican?

How is that relevant to the point he was making?

+Will J The Electoral college.

MartinATL If everyone voting for the lesser evil actually voted for actual Progressives the Green party then they could also win the electoral college. There is nothing preventing that besides votes.

you can do that here

Terry Schilling You can?

I think Jesse V had more political and military experience than 2 years senator Barack Obama I don't like Trump but that is a weak excuse. If that was the case in 2008 McCain dwarf Obama just as bad.

A vote for Hillary is one less vote for Jill Stein.

I prefer Trump to Clinton, the only one who wants to stop TPP; you have been lied to.

Extropian A vote for Stein is one more vote for Trump. Bernie already lost. Stein has no chance. Get over it.

***** hey ben, hillary is pro monsanto. how about that for the bees? jill is the only candidate that would even attempt to take them on.

1. The problem is conflating voting between 2 candidates in first past the post voting with assuming those 2 have to be Dems and Republicans. As we see in the primaries, and what Ventura demonstrates, what's important is voting for whichever 2 has the most momentum. While it's almost certainly too late now, the problem is when people use your logic to say 3 months ahead of the election that it has to be Clinton or Trump, when in reality, that's more than enough time for a third party to get more momentum and even force voters who prefer Clinton or Trump to have to get behind the third party in order to win. Given polls months ago were showing a majority of people wanted a third party and more people were voting against a person, rather than for, and only 7% of the electorate voted for either candidate, there was plenty of room for a third party to have taken momentum, if it weren't for the oversimplified logic of having to vote between Dems and Republicans. Remember it wasn't that long ago that Ross Perot was outpolling one of the 2 major parties, if he hadn't dropped out temporarily which tanked his poll numbers, he could've even been president. So people should've supported whoever they wanted in polls 3 months out and as the election got closer, say 1 month out, united behind whichever 2 candidates had the most natural momentum, rather than trying to support candidates strategically ahead of time, which leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy/chicken and the egg problem where they can't win because they can't get support because people think they can't win which causes nobody to support them. 2. Your arithmetic needs work. 1 less vote to Hillary is not equivalent to one more for Trump because a voter for Trump can't vote for someone else, so it's a 2 vote swing(1 less vote for Hillary and 1 more vote for Trump), whereas not voting for Hillary is a 1 point swing. 3. One could also point out that third parties work both ways. Voting Third party is one less vote for Trump. Look at Utah where Evan McMullin is polling high enough that Hillary was tied with Trump. If they heeded your reasoning, they would switch over to Trump, which could cost Hillary that state. 4. Strategically momentum should consider the psychology of the opposition. If Kasich had won the primaries, people would be less scared of him than Trump, which would've demoralized people who didn't want to vote for Clinton but were scared of Trump. Similarly, if Bernie had won the primaries, independent and even Republican voters were surprisingly less scared of him than Clinton in office. Similarly, if Republican voters started to unite behind Gary Johnson, it would've reduced the fear of a Trump presidency by Democrats, which would've allowed more registered Democrats to unite behind Jill Stein, and vice versa.

You'll never get their attention until you're actually among them and it's simply not possible to get among with such a short time before election day. Use the next 4 years wisely because over such time span you can accomplish a great deal. In mere weeks you can't accomplish anything other than choosing between Hillary and Trump. They are not gonna change significantly before November.

oO PPH Oo It's the opposite. You get their attention by NOT voting for them. By threatening their ability to get elected and forcing them to EARN your vote.

J You need to be a significant threat. Something you can't accomplish with mere weeks before the election. We tried with Bernie at the start of primaries. We didn't succeed. Now we need to prepare for next time.

+oO PPH Oo Bernie closed a nearly 60 point gap starting with almost zero name recognition against someone who has the most recognition in the world. Those who have studied the election fraud showed that Bernie actually did win when all the cards were stacked against him. If people weren't so happy to be manipulated by the system that threatens their lives and livelihoods, we could do the same for Jill and the Green party. GP has people in office at local levels all over the country, but the establishment doesn't want you to know that, they want you to vote to stay asleep in this nightmare.

Joanna Burt But he didn't accomplish that in a few weeks. It took him months. Anyone who wants to do better than him needs more time and that's exactly what we will have after this election.

hehe xd Because it is so embaressing to vote for her as a progressive, it is kind of depressing. There isn't much of a defence other than the other guy is orange and racist.

hehe xd Because it is so embaressing to vote for her as a progressive, it is kind of depressing. There isn't much of a defence other than the other guy is orange and racist.

so it is a position that you cant defend? sounds like any of hillarys policies.

fanofmetal1 Lmao 😂😂😂😂

What?, listen dumb shit

lol so true

After Bernie, Jill Stein is easily the best candidate.

That's not how voting works. Any party needs to start with local representatives. Go research how the parties formed. They got local support in many areas and grew it. The Green and libertarians are just trying to come in at the last minute and usurp their corresponding ideological parties... #VoteHillary

LastBref Someone not voting for Hillary means she has a lesser chance of winning. Learn some math

Josh Walker 100% correct. All these people who probably never voted before thinks you can somehow be a competitive 3rd party by only running every four years on the national level and not focusing on state and local elections at all. They are delusional

Josh Walker The Greens have candidates running for Senate, House, etc. all across the country. Do a Google search for Green party candidates. Granted, they haven't had much success within the two-party duopoly, but they're not on a level playing field, which is why we need election reform. Instant runoff (ranked choice) voting, for example, would essentially neutralize the spoiler effect. I'm not anti-Democrat. I support progressive Democrats and believe progressives can take over the Democratic party in the same way the Tea Party took control of the GOP. But I also see no problem with building up the Greens. And when I say "building up," Josh, I'm referring to the 5% threshold: when a party gets more than 5% of the vote, they receive equal ballot access and federal funding.

+LastBref exactly. This the narrative that the mainstream feeds about the green party (and other third parties) so they deter people from voting them into office. People don't vote for them, because they don't think they can win and it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Cenk dumbass Cenk....Tim pay attention please Cenk!!!!

what happened to we the people? hes not encouraging anyone to actually stand up and refuse the system, only encouraging them to stay trapped within it.

Cenk didn't give the "just primary her" answer because it only works on his dumb ass fanboys.

Toby A The other 2 aren't evil they are just incoherent

I love statements like this. No explanations of what they mean, just "Hyperbolic statement, just go look for yourself". Hell, I don't even know if you're right or wrong, but just try and back your statements up for fucks sake.

Jesse Ventura is a shill

it's just right Jesse Ventura in

If i recall correctly, he says he doesn't have the amount he boasts about. Since Trump has admitted his net worth is Dependant on how he feels about it.

spnsdr Well sometimes he feels rich so he does have money 😂

Because he believes that working within the Democratic Party to make it more progressive is a better strategy.

the US is a two party system and has been since the beginning for a bunch of reasons (first past the post elections, the electoral college, etc.) Bernie wouldn't have gotten anywhere had he ran as a third party, and instead chose to shift the Democratic party to the left by running in the primary. He endorsed Hilllary because he feels it's way more important to defeat Trump.

BEcause he's the same as the rest of them. Hilary paid him off to back out.You can't have actual change through a corrupt party. It makes no sense. The banks own the republicans and democrats. That's what jessie s argument. That's why he doesn't trust bernie.

Probably got threatened

I think his main thing right now is that he absolutely doesn't want Trump as President and so, from what I can tell, he doesn't want to do anything that might make that a more likely outcome. Based on what hes said in the past anyway it seems that he would reason that he would take too many votes away from Hillary which would therefore make Trump more likely to win.

Pro-tip: Bernie Sanders is a write-in option.

That's what I'm doing. My state is deep red and there's no way I'm voting for that assclown. I hate Hillary and while I like Jill, she's not even a contender here. So, I'm voting for Bernie. Only candidate that earned my trust.

Why not vote Jill. Whats the worst that can happen? Trump gets in and we don't have nuclear war with Russia.

The worst result is not to vote Jill Stein. If you vote for either Republicrat (trump-hillary) you are PAAART OF THE PROOOBLEEEM!

People giving up are just as bad. Stop being a defeatist, change takes a lot of effort and time. If at first you don't succeed, you try again.

Hannah G-K We need a celebrity to run for president basically

Trump is a celebrity.

They are in enough states to win. The electoral college math is there. I guess your form UK because of mathS. If so we want a little of "more than 2 party" you guys have.

Yes based on polls, you´re right, but you´re obviously not educated in the political system of America, with the electoral college, they do have a chance of winning, they´re in enough states. And what you´re saying is: 3rd party can´t win, don´t vote for them. And a lot of people do that, i think if people vote for the person they want to see in office (like Jesse said in the interview) and not for hillary because trump, or vice versa, we would see very differnet number

gamezonic He's pretty far from perfect.

When did Jill Stein become evil?

Chris Seals Jill still has issues

Chris Seals Fair enough, the townhall proved to me at least when she is called out she will get her act together.

Chris Seals While Gary Johnson didn't learn anything when called out

While you can say that Jill Stein doesn't have a grasp of the finer points of managing a country, I don't think you can call her evil. She seems to be the only candidate that actually cares about the average person, and the environment.

uniseine the video title was just a quote from the person being interviewed, you can disagree with them but I don't see why the video should be titled differently

Because it spreads this bullshit logic.

Dean Sinatra Jr. I'm not impressed with Jill. Or the others really. Big fan of Bernie. Now voting to keep ignorant fool from destroying the country.

I'm guessing you're with her then ? She is singlehandedly destroying democracy

Running with a deranged conspiracy theorist will only make Jill Stein look worse

Dean Sinatra Jr. even if she doesn't bring change, that's a hell of a lot better than changing this country from a democracy to fascism

Espurr fear mongering haha best example of how fucked it all is. if you really believe we live in a democracy then you must have been living under a rock.

what's that.. things that are irrelevant/inconsequential

that would only work if like a third of voters believed in write-ins. The number of people daring to write someone in is probably closer to 0.1% though, so no, that's not gonna happen.

I know it's wishful thinking but, all of our choices suck. I can not vote for any of the evils. I will be writing in Sanders. I actually know quite a few people who are doing just that too. So this election I think there might be a little more than 0.1%. Maybe it will get to 0.3%. lol Our political system SUCKS ASS!

More like, beautiful pavement in one direction and two sinkholes in the other. Let's cheat the people out of the nice paved road, force them toward the sinkholes and then expect everyone to be so scared of the big sinkhole that they'll run towards the "smaller" sinkhole hoping they don't fall in. A brilliant way for the establishment to force in a crooked candidate that represents them and not us.

James O'Keefe is a fraud you idiot.

whats the point?

I support the gay agenda so the two men involved in the videos have not been fired as a result of O'Keefe's video? Also thanks for the personal attacks, shows me that I hit a nerve for daring to question TYT, with their unwavering fanboys coming out.

sh09un1 did you seriously just ask that question?

The reason i ask what the point is, your nominee for president has incited more violence from his supporters then those two affiliated with Hillary could ever have. See the thing is, you're foaming at the mouth for a juicy scandal you can sink your teeth into. That's why her husbands (whos not running for president) infidelities and the wikileaks were such big news with the right. You don't get to ignore what Donald Trump does and says then turn around and point fingers, its called a double standard and you've been doing it for the past year. Hillary Clinton is going to be the president of the united states, not because she has less scandals then Trump, but because she knows what she is doing and the American people can trust her to not blow up the world. I suggest you make peace with that so we as a nation can move forward together in a very troubling time in the world. Look at what is happening to people around the world, everything is going to shit. Let us not add to that by fighting for a divisive president like Donald Trump, look at what his rhetoric and presence has done to this country this past year alone... ps. If he does in fact start "Trump tv", then you would know his true purpose for running for president and how he never truly cared about this country in the first place. Everything is playing out like many have predicted... it is time you open your eyes and give it a rest.

He wasn't president, but he was governor. Third party governor to be exact and he won. Dude himself even says he was elected governor and admitted he was a third party. So his comments still stand.

Adrian Thomas Not comparable in the slightest, third party office holders on local and state level aren't all that uncommon.

***** The point he is arguing is that third party IS an option. Nothing about it being uncommon but it being AN OPTION. Which it is. Again, Valid.

Adrian Thomas Nobody is saying it's not an option, that's why third party candidates are on the ballot, the argument is whether it is a viable option in that they have a reasonable chance of winning. And they do not on a national scale. They can't even muster the 15% support required to be part of the national debates.

The Debate Commission is run by the D's and R's. Look it up, No matter what these two parties will make sure that no other party reaches 15%. That's their trick for survival and people are falling for it.

This

grinningchicken Because that's a waste of a vote unfortunately

southrules Whats the worst that can happen? Trump gets in and the DNC and GOP block his every move. What the best that can happen? Real change that saves the country. Don't be such a coward.

grinningchicken Trump will get us nuked, don't be foolish.

southrules By who? He's against ridiculous wars and wants to stop playing chicken with Russia and China.

The Trump nuke myth is so bizarre. I mean of all the things to criticize him for. Trump literally funded nuclear disarmament organizations at the back end of the Cold War and people actually think he is too stupid to know the seriousness of nuclear weapons.

Wrong, people have been doing that for years and have had enough. I'm taking a stand.

Job Brown Then you will help Trump take office. Sanders has a long term plan to get rid of the establishment. It's best you listen and learn.

Nope, the establishment won't let her lose to a dangerous outsider like Trump. When the whole of Wall Street supports a candidate, they win. Sanders had a lot of options to help people in this election and chose the establishment side, much like Obama did early on. Sad, but true. And it's incompatible with representing working people, you can't be on both sides. Now it's up to politicians like Nina Turner, Alan Grayson, Jill Stein... real progressives. HRC supporters will be the only reason Trump has gotten so close. ANY other candidate would destroy him, and if Bernie ran green party he'd be up double digits.

wrong she has a real chance of losing get out and vote

Job Brown is probably too understand that the President of the United States isn't an Emperor. Our government is a representative government. Trump will crippled a Liberal Senate and House if he is elected. Clinton on the other hand will be forced to deal with them. Unfortunately the third party candidates don't have a chance and they are more republican than anything.

W

feel the bern L he's been involved

He used to be a governor years ago. I think last year or even in 2014 he had promised to run for president of the US under the condition that Howard Stern would be his running mate.

I knew he's been in politics for awhile but the Super Macho Man reference made me laugh...hence the W

Jesse Ventura was the governor of Minnesota!

0:32 Corrupt Turks again

IDIOTS. Yeah everyone don't go out and vote. Donald J Trump will be your next elected official And I Will Place 100% of Blame on this wishy washy channel that is 51% Republican at this point.. Are you on Crank Cenk?

fla playa he said "corrupters" not "corrupt Turks" lol.

Would that make Bill Padme?

Fe1538C do you know one person wants an war with Russia and the other candidate wants peace with them, can you tell me which is which?

War with Russia it makes no sense nobody is going to war with Russia, no money here. On the other hand Trump has no problem to use nuclear weapons in negotiations WTF.

Fe1538C are you saying no president is ready to use nuclear weapons? Trip is saying what every politician already do behind your back with nice words

PJ Ha Yes but when we say it we think Trump is evil too

PJ Ha Also most ppl won't vote for Trump he just has to lose like 5 swings states and he loses

There are plenty of people voting for Trump because he has an R next to his name and they hate Hillary Clinton, don't kid yourself. Trump's hardcore base is a small percentage of the GOP, and GOP voters are a minority of the country.

Yes I know some people will vote for Trump just because he is republican, but he can't win with just those people. Especially when there are some republican leaders that don't want to vote for him. I am saying some of the Trump supporters don't think of it as the less of two evils this race which is how everyone should be thinking of this race. They just want trump and dont think he is one of the evils. So the "dont go for the lesser of two evils" crowd is mostly talking to the hillary voters.

Mike R. There were aliens in the wikileaks .... I am not kidding😂😂😂 the catholic church knows

Agreed that the 3rd party candidates aren't great either, but that mentality is why we're in this controlled 2 party mess in the first place. If people actually had/voted for their conscience and not out of fear or ignorance, the people would actually have a voice. Anyone dem/republican that thinks their candidate is great, is full of shit. A lying hypocrite. It's amazing how Hillary and Trump have made both sides into hypocrites. People are flawed and inconsistent.

Job Brown I agree with with you 100%. Both candidates have literally done just that very thing. It's forced Democrats to basically ignore Wikileaks. It's made Republicans ignore possible sexual assaults. And ignore the outright atrocities that Trump has often suggested. I really wish I had faith that the people would vote their conscience, but I don't. I just don't think we are there yet. And a lot has to do with these lackluster 3rd party candidates this year. For a 3rd party to have any chance of winning they have to be worlds better than what these this year are. You would need to take all the best qualities, like Hillary's goal driven attitude. Take Trump's ability to get noticed and the way he can rile the masses. (Without lying or being a prick, that is. Much easier said than done) Take Obama's cool level headed demeanor. You would need all these and more wrapped up in a nice little package. Don't know when or if anyone like that will be coming along.

jeremybr2020 Our system has been corrupted. Anyone who would truly represent the people would never get a real shot. Even if they shocked the world and got a little too close - as we've seen with Bernie, Ron Paul, and to an extent Trump - they'd be cheated out of it through media manipulation of public opinion, taking advantage of flaws in electoral system (there are many there by design), or 'rigging' the ballot box if it became that necessary. It's a shame we got the JV team from our 3rd party candidates... Bernie would be winning by a landslide had he stayed in it and went 3rd party. I honestly don't think he wanted to keep fighting for the presidency though. I think the establishment somehow changed his mind.

Job Brown Once again, we are in agreement. I also was hoping that Bernie was going to be the winner of the Primaries. Because he would of annihilated Trump by this time. Not that Hillary isn't winning, but lets just say the road has been rough, to say the least. And its still way to close for comfort. It is unfortunate. But this is the world we find ourselves in. I suppose looking at the big picture I should be happy that this is the extent of our troubles here in America. It is much worse in other parts of the world. I can only hope one day we can find a way out of this system.

Hes been governor, a navy seal, a fighter. Hes heard things that will blow your mind.

Timothy Leiberman Sarah Palin has been Governor, clubbed a seal, a maverick. She's said things that will make you blow your head off.

WELL ALRIGHTY THEN
