I agree, a shorter election cycle would be awesome. A couple of months feels like plenty of time and less money spent so we could use the money to help our country build infrastructure, help schools, small farmers, etc. $15B is way too much!

I as a Dane fundamentally agree with your frustrations with the US election system. But our country’s are also very different we for one thing have a public television that almost everyone has access to and not owned by anyone who has vested interests in the outcome of the election. Does the USA have this?
I'm sorry to inform you but even our Danmarks Radio does not report news truthfully. For example, it is not reporting the truth about who started the US proxy war in Ukraine.
public TV is also biased they are just less dramatic compared to the US and that can make you believe they aren't bias, the problem is you only get 1 side of the story, then when you start following different channels from other countries, read diff, media , and follow the debate for ex. in the US Congress you find out Danish media is very bias

@@veronicajensen7690 There is always a bias, it cannot be avoided. It’s the nature of being human. As long as there isn’t a systemic bias toward one narrative, then it’s as good as it’s gonna get. If you see a systemic bias, you can send a complaint to Pressenævnet, which will then look at it if the accusation is serious enough. The political party Dansk Folkeparti once sent a complaint about DR not giving them as much air-time as the other political parties, which was found to be true. They had gotten 13 minutes (if I remember correctly) less air-time compared to the party that got the most air-time. DR then sent a formal apology and invited them to speak about their policies on some show.
We can just follow Florida. They had results in Tuesday night before midnight. California for one is an embarrassment or dose it take time to get the desired result?
For the Danish system to work for the US, you would probably need to make many changes. Some of those changes are contentious. Like a voter ID, Geographic-based voting districts, and a lot more polling stations. Also, Denmark has many political parties, more like an actual buffet of choice compared to the USA, with just team Blue or Team Red.
But I am also Born the part of Denmark, where our Janteloven originate! I think this Part is a fundamental lack in American Born people! Yes it is the opposite of Entitlement!👈 if you Will.... Don't think you are better than others is the Janteloven!👈😁😋❤️
Also, the Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark , Norway and so on) have long been world class at public records of their population - who is born, marries, has children, dies, changes of address etc - and our ledgers of eligible voters and citizens are directly anchored into that bedrock of public records (these days of course, digital databases of the entire population). The US doesn't have anything quite like it, to put into use for elections, and efforts to upgrade their public records have been rebuffed by - yes, you guessed it: the Republicans, who have long been shouting "That's Big Brother, to keep that kind of default, comprehensive records on who is living in the country and some of their lifespan data!".
@@veronicajensen7690 Yes and guess what? nearly all US voters have been through identification procedures to ensure who they are, either when they registered to vote, at the point of casting their ballot, or at some other point, They're not just "bought blind" without any verification. But the US doesn't have federal (national) photo ID cards, issued by the federal government and based on public population/birth records - the kind of general-purpose photo ID cards that most countries in Europe have. Nearly everybody in Europe (and in the Nordic countries) have that kind of ID card, or a passport (often both o f them). That's been much less common in the USA . To suddenly run in a condition that "you have to have this very specific kind of voter ID card - a card that's *only* used when you vote - and you have let's say three or four months to get it before election day; suit yourself!" would risk shutting many millions of legit US citizens out of voting. It would effectively mean a "poll tax" which is against US law.
@@lemontcross3015 I cannot disagree that the United States large and diverse population makes it more difficult to have elections like the kind they have in Denmark, but we’re certainly not trying very hard to have better elections
@@sambyrod8179 In Denmark and most other countries you are eligible to vote when you turn 18 if you are born here. If you are an EU-citizen you also have a right to vote in some election. So on election day I go to the voting place I show my card that were send to me before the election. They scan it. And I go vote. Nobody knows what I voted. And I didn't have to registered as a voter for any party.
The press: Ain't that bad in the US. Try the press in the UK, they are all excerpt one, conservative and even the BBC is now a conservative media. A big problem is the "first pass the post" system, it really ain't democracy. If I remember correctly, Hillary Clinton had more votes than Trump, but lost. Same problem in the UK. The parliament does not reflect the will of the people. But the US has one good thing. In theory, it should be impossible that a dictator could take over. The military does not swear to the President, but to the constitution. It should ensure that a President with glue on his ass will be removed. At least in theory. Maybe it's time for Mexico and Canada to invade the US and restore democracy. When I am provoking the "Americans", I call them USAnians. And if one says he is American, I answer:" So, you are from Venezuela"! When I am nice, I call you US-Americans.
Ok. You are getting a little stressed by the election. Sit down. Deep breaths. I recommend staying inside. No news. Maybe some tea. Some Chopin or maybe some Bach. Don't go anywhere until at least Thursday. It will be better by then.
No no no no and absolutely not! Danish system also needs to be changed. You see Danish system use lists in the elections. That gives away power to the parties. The correct countries to be copied are Finland and Estonia. In Finland people don’t vote for the party. They always vote for the candidate directly. You have to write the candidates number on the ballot and that is it. That is how the candidates are then ranked and then those with the most votes go to the parliament. When you use the lists then the party leader is usually the first and secretary the second. In Finland we can vote out party leaders if we don’t like what they are doing. That has happened many times. One party leader and PM lied in front of the parliament. He had to resign and in the next elections he lost his seat in the parliament. That is how you fix your system. You bring in the real democracy. In Finland the supreme court is the Parliament btw. This parliament can prosecute someone who needs to be impeached, but there needs to be elections for the new parliament that then decides if the person is guilty or not. We voters select the jury.
The Finnish system is not sufficient either. The foundation of a well functioning democracy is an educated people and even that fails in Finland. If you had a well educated people you would have stayed neutral and never joined NATO. The same can be said for Sweden.
And that is 🐂 💩 . We 🇫🇮 are one of the most well educated people on the planet. We have one tier Unified Education System where the education is free all the way trough the university and it gives you diplomas that allows you to work anywhere in the European Union. We were the first country to offer school meals for free for everyone. Today only Finland, Estonia, Sweden and India do that. We have been NATO compliant since the 1980’s and we have conscription and military equipment to go with it. Finland decided to use its NATO card when Ruzzia attacked its neighbor. Not to seek refuge but send a clear message to Moscow that if you try anything else then you will talk to us. And that will not end well for you. Just an example. Finland has 1/3 of the artillery in the Europe. That is more than UK, Spain, France, Germany and Italy counted together. It is to match and overtake the Ruzzians. US Army comes to Finland to train their troops and learn what we are doing. Finland got the NATO headquarters for the ground troops because we know what we are doing and everyone else wants to learn it. Our former President Sauli Niinistö prepared a report that will be the base of the EU civil protection and defense in every EU27 member states and ground for the European defense. You can read it here: commission.europa.eu/document/download/5bb2881f-9e29-42f2-8b77-8739b19d047c_en?filename=2024_Niinisto-report_Book_VF.pdf We are the happiest nation in the world because we can trust that our society works even when it is -40 degrees Celsius or when Pootin tried to throw 💩 on us. Our system works in large scale too. You see the European Union is based on the structure of the Finland. That is 448 million people.
Sweden didn’t know that they will join the NATO. Finland told them that they will too be part of it. Denmark and Norway chimed in and Swedish are not stupid so they realized that it is the only way to solve this problem. Now Baltic Sea Countries are on the same table and we are very powerful. We have military technology that the others don’t have. One example is the Finnish ICEYE satellite system that Ukrainians have been using from the day one. It gives them accurate data of the Ruzzian movements because it can see no matter if it is day or night. Cloudy or raining. Finnish-Norwegian company NAMMO delivers quality ammo for the Ukrainians and Sweden has excellent surveillance technology and weapons to go with it. Denmark helps with flying things. Always remember that Pootin has pissed off all of its neighbors and has a border dispute with us. He tries to take land like those Lithium deposits in the Donetsk region. Those countries are btw. Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, USA and Canada. EU GDP is about 28 trillion, USA is about 28 trillion. Ruzzia is 2 trillion. Nordic countries might be small. Sweden, Norway and Denmark are together a bigger economy than Ruzzia and Finland is twice the Ukraine. The there is the Germany that this year alone added 100 billion to its military spending. Estonia supports the Ukraine with 1,9% of its GDP like Denmark and Finnish military spending is now over 3,5% of its GDP. EU27 has now supported the Ukraine with about 200 billion and that is twice the USA.
@@verttikoo2052 I'm sorry buddy but the success of the EU or lack thereof has little to do with Finland. Also, the fact that you and your countrymen think that joining NATO is in the best interest of your country simply reveals that even free education does not install sufficient critical thinking skills in a people for them to have a well functioning democracy. Don't you realize that it is the US that started the proxy war in Ukraine by pushing for NATO expansion Eastwards?? Today, NATO is nothing but the military arm of the US doing their bidding and NATO members have become vassal states of the US with little to no say in matters of their security. Nobody in Europe wanted to start a war with Russia and Russia never wanted to start a war with the West. The Americans did and made it happen by supporting a regime change in Kiev in 2014! You should go educate yourself on these matters. Go listen to American professors John Mearsheimer and Jeffrey Sachs - I think they will open your eyes to who is the real culprit in this world and is now pushing Europe and the rest of the world into war for no good reason.
I get it that you have a dream, but the US and Denmark are fundamentally different, so it is not possible. Bernie Sanders has also put Denmark in front as an example for the US, but he is also misguided. There are so many things, but let me list a few. 1. Denmark's history is a kingdom that evolved into a democracy. So, a top-down approach. The US is made up of people that fled from around the World to create their own fortunes. So, a bottom-up approach. 2. In Denmark most people have faith in the system, ie. the government and such, we gladly pay our high taxes, and there is only little civil unrest. Why? Because we get something in return from the system. Not so in the US, and I probably don't need to spell that out for you. 3. Denmark was declared Christian around 950 a.d., but was never too much into religion, and it has mostly been a practical tool to guide and control people, that since science has evolved and democracy appeared, makes religion unnecessary. Since many that fled from Europe to the US did so, because they were unhappy about the unraveling of Christianity in Europe, it means that there is a large portion of US citizens (I nearly wrote 'Americans' 😉) that are still Christians, and too many are also lunatics. The list goes on, but just by this, you can see that your dream will never come through (true? 😂). Be careful about going to Denmark for even a short length of time, because you'll never wanna go back 😏
That is BS. Any country can change to become a real democracy. You just copy the voting laws from the Finland and the structure. Now people say that it can’t be done because USA is so big 🙄 Well if European Union 🇪🇺 with 448 million people can do it then USA can also do it and if 5,6 million people can do it then 6 million people can also do it.
😂 Nothing like a good rant. I won't comment on the whole election thing, but I do have a question: I'm all for not calling the USA "America", but what should we call you guys then? I mean if we can't call you "Americans"? "Citizens of the United States of America" is way too long.
Most of the "squad" was primaried. Denmark could not deal with elections that have 20 - 80 contests on a ballot. Denmark is better suited to running music festivals.
@@nomenclature9373 I wish I had 20 to 80 contest on ballot, but I only pick my senator a president House of Representatives and some judges so it’s not that many because we break things up by state because of the electoral college is a problem for the United States being a true democracy
There are no contests with the Nordic countries way of voting. You have your vote, you identify your self at the voting area where someone from the voting administartion scan your voting card that you get sent out and now you voted. There are no districts that can be rewritten or contested or votes being removed, there are no other way to win a election then to get the most vote from the bepople. The issue is that you do not have a set up goverment system yet where all the people who have the right to vote are included and a id of a sort, Sweden for example have Bankid to sign contract, vote or other things and i am sure that the US in the end are fully capable of design such thing for the people to stop the corruption . Consider the rest of the world manage to do this, and there are far more bigger countries then US in the world that manage, US can too, you need to have some faith.

1. Denmark's history is a kingdom that evolved into a democracy. So, a top-down approach.
The US is made up of people that fled from around the World to create their own fortunes. So, a bottom-up approach.
2. In Denmark most people have faith in the system, ie. the government and such, we gladly pay our high taxes, and there is only little civil unrest. Why? Because we get something in return from the system.
Not so in the US, and I probably don't need to spell that out for you.
3. Denmark was declared Christian around 950 a.d., but was never too much into religion, and it has mostly been a practical tool to guide and control people, that since science has evolved and democracy appeared, makes religion unnecessary.
Since many that fled from Europe to the US did so, because they were unhappy about the unraveling of Christianity in Europe, it means that there is a large portion of US citizens (I nearly wrote 'Americans' 😉) that are still Christians, and too many are also lunatics.
The list goes on, but just by this, you can see that your dream will never come through (true? 😂).
Be careful about going to Denmark for even a short length of time, because you'll never wanna go back 😏
That is BS. Any country can change to become a real democracy. You just copy the voting laws from the Finland and the structure. Now people say that it can’t be done because USA is so big 🙄 Well if European Union 🇪🇺 with 448 million people can do it then USA can also do it and if 5,6 million people can do it then 6 million people can also do it.
@@verttikoo2052 DK don't have a genuine democracy. It's a representative democracy. Not much different from US.
😂 Nothing like a good rant.
I won't comment on the whole election thing, but I do have a question: I'm all for not calling the USA "America", but what should we call you guys then? I mean if we can't call you "Americans"? "Citizens of the United States of America" is way too long.
Most of the "squad" was primaried.
Denmark could not deal with elections that have 20 - 80 contests on a ballot.
Denmark is better suited to running music festivals.
Wake UP! The US has become a shithole under corrupt creepy 'childloving' Biden
@@nomenclature9373 I wish I had 20 to 80 contest on ballot, but I only pick my senator a president House of Representatives and some judges so it’s not that many because we break things up by state because of the electoral college is a problem for the United States being a true democracy
you just touched my honor. my seconds will call on you!!
There are no contests with the Nordic countries way of voting. You have your vote, you identify your self at the voting area where someone from the voting administartion scan your voting card that you get sent out and now you voted. There are no districts that can be rewritten or contested or votes being removed, there are no other way to win a election then to get the most vote from the bepople.
The issue is that you do not have a set up goverment system yet where all the people who have the right to vote are included and a id of a sort, Sweden for example have Bankid to sign contract, vote or other things and i am sure that the US in the end are fully capable of design such thing for the people to stop the corruption .
Consider the rest of the world manage to do this, and there are far more bigger countries then US in the world that manage, US can too, you need to have some faith.
Tucker for President you fool 💪
