    Seriously please keep the US channel alive. I’ve shown these videos to people to help them understand how politics actually works. It’s clear and concise content without taking sides. That’s hard to find in this climate and people here in the states who can’t listen to reason from a left leaning source tend to listen to this kind of content when it’s presented in my experience. Seriously. Please keep it up. ❤

      It's funny how DeSantis looks moderate because of how far-right Trump's republicans are. DeSantis is a staunch conservative but he is no Trump. If anything, for the GOP as a whole, DeSantis is an upgraded Trump. And now he has won his governorship by a blowout -- he is probably the only one that had a great performance. So, the 2024 Republican nomination looks... interesting, to say the least.

    A country where Ron DeSantis can be referred to as a moderate is in a dark place indeed. He's just as extreme, he just has a more polished veneer. Kemp and Sununu are better examples of moderates, and maybe the best example would have been outgoing MA governor Baker--the only statewide Republican official in a deep blue state who left after two terms as the most popular governor in the country according to many polls.

      Most I've heard from DeSantis is how he said americans were apparently the first to consider banning slavery, and his StopWoke act that got banned by the court. One dumb thing to say, and pandering to the anti-woke crowd does seem pretty Trump-ish to me indeed.
