This bit ages better every election. I wish he was still alive. I keep him out of top 5-10 favorite comedian lists. He's top 1 always. I can go on about him forever about him but im gonna guess you didn't vote either? Yes! Same here! ;)
One thing I never liked about voting is that at the end of the day you're either voting Republican or Democrat. And by voting at all, you're basically subscribing to ALL the ideals of either party, when you yourself could be a centrist, or on the fence. Anti-X, but Pro-Y? Sorry, but you're gonna have to pick one. You can't pick both. And let's be honest, the likelihood of an independent being elected into office is so incredibly low, it may as well not be a choice.
Actually you're wrong because when you vote there's also ballot measures that you can vote for. So no, you're not voting for everything X party is for.
I agree with this. All I want is Gay Married people to be able to fire their guns, smoke pot and go to an abortion center while the Govt is run at a much smaller level and not at a deficit.

I was scolded 4 years ago for telling my father's intensely liberal family that i would not be voting and that i never have. Our relationship has never been the same since.
I never voted because this country has owners (billionaires, lobbyists, big corporations, big donors and big pharma) and they run our system. This country is run by unelected officials. I'm going to participate in something that I have no control over. So, every election day I stay home and watch this video.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump. (At a combined age of 152 years old) "This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces. Garbage In, Garbage Out." George Carlin.
"I voted for the other person though so am I to blame?" Yes. Yes you are. By voting you have clicked the "I agree to the terms and conditions" button stating that you agree with this system.
This whole bit doesn't work because it's working from the premise that the American people decide who wins an election and that's just not always the case. The one with the most votes lost in the last election. So how is that the American people's fault? Because In some cases it's the electors, and not the American people, who vote for the president. It's not the people that are fucked. It's the system that is fucked!
@@0rionsaint And the system as you call it didn't materialize itself, it was created BY the people. So if the system is fucked, then so are the people.
@@Atombender But the system was not created by "the people." In the Constitution where it was written "The people of the United States" there was no such honest, legitimate association. The people drafting the constitution did not ask those who they were imposing rule onto if they would consent to the agreement. This collective of "the people" is nothing more than a myth that was fabricated into the mythology of state education. All people did not gather together and volunteer consent. Even if it was possible, and if they did indeed all volunteer their consent to be governed, it can only be that the government would have authority over them during their lifetime and not thereafter. The word "posterity" in the constitution does not imply that the children of the people who lived during the time of 1776 shall consent to the constitution. It's like saying we built a house for posterity and that those that would inherit the house are compelled under force to live in that house. There is no such group of the people of the united states as claimed as subjects to the constitution of the united states
@@jonathanryan2915 I believe that too, Jimmy Carter wasn't that half bad a lot of people say he was soft but I believe he was set up to fail with the Iranian hostage crisis, that's why Reagan got in.

No, instead we got that douchebag Ronald Reagan.
Yes. Currently the 3rd & 4th choices are Libertarians and Greens. Sadly, the Democrats & Republicans have a stranglehold on our political system. They see any outside (3rd or 4th party) choice as a big threat and will do everything in their power to keep them out.

I didn't notice that... that's fucking stupid. Reminds me of when I got Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and wanted to use a name with the word Bastard in it, and the game said I couldn't use Bastard in my name because it was an offensive word. So, I chose another name, and as soon as I got into the game the soldiers in the opening campaign movie were all saying GD and fuck and everything... dumbest shit ever. In a Mature rated game too.
Im assuming they don't find the words in this video offensive. So as long as you use the ones they're condoning by sharing this clip, Im guessing you're in the clear.

Now what if you voted, but the politicians that you DIDN'T vote for get elected? I think those people get to complain even more than the people who didn't vote at all.
Nope. By voting you are playing the game; you are a supporter of the corrupt two party system that ultimately elects a corrupt leader that supports corporate tyranny at the expense of the public good. I vote none of the above, until someone comes along that actually supports the public good and isn't corrupt, which of course is unlikely because I don't really agree in the first place with being led. Politicians are all talk, but no show precisely because they are trying to become president or trying to get in some governmental office, they need your support and so they say anything at the time that is popular with the majority of the public so they can earn the public's trust and get what they want, which is exactly what Carlin was pointing out in this video when he says "selfish" politicians.
Well said Earth Smash. Samantha B said that I'm a asshole for not voting. She's hilarious, makes good points, and I like her show... But fuck off with that retarded ass shit lol. Lesson to learn from this? Every person you like and admire will always let you down in some way.

At least if we guys do what George said on the last bit, we be more honest and complete an actual promise to ourselves and those who doubt us. We'll have a little something to show for that night vs them taking years, forgetting, or never fulfilling such BS promises
@@pnut3844able He's not the answer.
@@pnut3844ableA puppet...yes...we know.
I only voted once and I'm right there with you.
Both liberals and conservatives are the same to me, I don’t care who gets in and if someone tries to scold me about not voting, I’m just gonna quote this video.
I agree though I dislike libs and conservs for different reasons, I'm definitely not wasting my time voting for any of this shit. Only followers need leaders.
I was scolded 4 years ago for telling my father's intensely liberal family that i would not be voting and that i never have. Our relationship has never been the same since.
@@thagodwecreate5179 love this!
@@anako1976 there is nothing wrong with not voting. I've never voted either. I don't want to vote for moral reasons.
Indespensable enemies. They are in cahoots with each other. They eat at the same places
Had to watch this on Election Day. It’s a little tradition I have every Election Day.
Same hear

Likewise! 2022 midterms tomorrow.
Fuck hope......🤣
@@QuanahParker17 Yep had to watch this today.
@@QuanahParker17 here I am!
I never voted because this country has owners (billionaires, lobbyists, big corporations, big donors and big pharma) and they run our system. This country is run by unelected officials. I'm going to participate in something that I have no control over. So, every election day I stay home and watch this video.
Majority of "elected officials" are lawyers
Per the US constitution Lawyere cannot hold public office soo most elections are fraudulent
@@epsteinsghost7247 Nowhere in the United States Constitution does it prohibit lawyers from holding public office.
@lunaroxas actually yes it does
i really need to hear this today. media tries so hard to brainwash you to vote and so do other mindless sheep who want to convince you how important it is. i really miss you, George.
Jarrell Jones oh I would lose a good portion of my friends list on Facebook if I called them mindless sheep, who actually believe their vote means a god damn thing.

it scares me how much that doesn't surprise me, Samuel.
I love you
This keep aging like fine wine 🍷.
Fast forward 24 years: Biden vs Trump
Just experienced voter supression here in tx against bernie sanders...
Yup... I can totally see why people don't vote. The system is too flawed to honestly give a shit lol. It's like a 50 year old car with too many problems... Fuck it get a new way to get around lol. The flaws on why you can't drive this piece of shit are too many to count.
A giant douch, or a turd sandwich.!!
@Enjoys Upsetting People I'm taking his advice for this election
@Lurker M Your comment is much stupider and more bot-like
Joe Biden and Donald Trump. (At a combined age of 152 years old)
"This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces. Garbage In, Garbage Out."
George Carlin.
Gonna watch this every single election to keep me in check
"I voted for the other person though so am I to blame?"
Yes. Yes you are. By voting you have clicked the "I agree to the terms and conditions" button stating that you agree with this system.
This whole bit doesn't work because it's working from the premise that the American people decide who wins an election and that's just not always the case. The one with the most votes lost in the last election. So how is that the American people's fault? Because In some cases it's the electors, and not the American people, who vote for the president. It's not the people that are fucked. It's the system that is fucked!
@@0rionsaint And the system as you call it didn't materialize itself, it was created BY the people. So if the system is fucked, then so are the people.
@@Atombender But the system was not created by "the people." In the Constitution where it was written "The people of the United States" there was no such honest, legitimate association. The people drafting the constitution did not ask those who they were imposing rule onto if they would consent to the agreement. This collective of "the people" is nothing more than a myth that was fabricated into the mythology of state education. All people did not gather together and volunteer consent. Even if it was possible, and if they did indeed all volunteer their consent to be governed, it can only be that the government would have authority over them during their lifetime and not thereafter. The word "posterity" in the constitution does not imply that the children of the people who lived during the time of 1776 shall consent to the constitution. It's like saying we built a house for posterity and that those that would inherit the house are compelled under force to live in that house.
There is no such group of the people of the united states as claimed as subjects to the constitution of the united states
2024, just when I thought the public could not be more divided. I still choose not to decide, will never vote, never have, never will
"... Where are all the bright people of conscience?"
They lose the Democratic primaries.
Garbage in, garbage out...
Well George Carlin predicted the 2020 presidential debate.
2020. 2016. 2012. 2008...
Not just 2020, but all of them.
I believe Kennedy was the last real president and we know how that turned out
@@jonathanryan2915 I believe that too, Jimmy Carter wasn't that half bad a lot of people say he was soft but I believe he was set up to fail with the Iranian hostage crisis, that's why Reagan got in. He kept those captives hostage until the next election. He knew that Jimmy Carter could have gotten them out and he would have been elected for a second term. No, instead we got that douchebag Ronald Reagan.

Yes sir. Thats why WE "Blacks" did not vote.. Like trump wasnt gonna win anyways..lmao
dont you have a 3rd choice there?
Yes. Currently the 3rd & 4th choices are Libertarians and Greens. Sadly, the Democrats & Republicans have a stranglehold on our political system. They see any outside (3rd or 4th party) choice as a big threat and will do everything in their power to keep them out.
Malcolm Nicoll Yes, also the electoral college scam insures a 3rd party will never win. The elite choose there candidate ahead of time, then have people come vote anyways to feel like they're participating..lmao

Am sick of hearing “the most important election of our life time!” Sounds like a pro-wrestling PPV promo.
So when George Carlin says he doesn't vote he gets cheered for.
When Russell Brand says he doesn't vote he gets ripped apart by the media.
Interesting.
+Linny Crocus Russell is control opposition, he is guided as Alex jones
people that are not cia agent provocateurs are Michael Hastings that is now dead or Stanley Kubrick, william Copper

I discovered George Carlin as a kid on something called launch cast way back in the day. Honestly he probably saved my brain
Just had to come back and revisit George again. God damn I wish he was still here.
My family keeps harassing me to vote! This video makes me feel better because I absolutely refuse to vote for these corrupt assholes!
MUCH LOVE TO YOU, FUCK THESE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T THINK OUTSIDE THE WEB
Well done 👍
Our voting doesn't determine who the President is. Remember that.
@@TheHardys01 At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theory nut job: I am 100% convinced that the entire election is rigged, the secret overlords who actually run everything decided the president a long time ago and the election and voting is just to convince the mass population that they actually have some power and some say in the way their world is run, when in reality we don't.
Same & it is also politically biased morons on the Internet with little to no fact about what clue they even are saying. They keep blaming us or people who voted third party. Stupid. We always doomed ourselves with politics & religion.
Who's here in 2024 because of election day?
✋
Yep
Yep
Yep
No. Trump made it very clear what he would do. You better fucking vote. There are good people despite what the media wants us to believe. Humans are capable of changing. It's what makes us human.
My uncle lives in the UK and he never voted, he says all of the politicians are incompetent. I think he and George will get along pretty well if George was still alive today.

The spirit of George Carlin has been strongly felt these last couple of days.
"Garbage in, garbage out."
" I'm sure after the election, your country will improve immediately!!"

"no Offensive words please"
That's the funniest status I've ever heard on a Carlin video.
Imagine if Carlin was alive today to see how people treat politics like it's their damn religion and sports team

"No offensive words please"..? On a George Carlin video..?
"fuck hope"?
Dallas Fawson
I didn't notice that... that's fucking stupid.
Reminds me of when I got Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and wanted to use a name with the word Bastard in it, and the game said I couldn't use Bastard in my name because it was an offensive word. So, I chose another name, and as soon as I got into the game the soldiers in the opening campaign movie were all saying GD and fuck and everything... dumbest shit ever. In a Mature rated game too.
Flawless Strategy damn I miss Bad Company 2. I used to be a beast with that G36c haha
Im assuming they don't find the words in this video offensive. So as long as you use the ones they're condoning by sharing this clip, Im guessing you're in the clear.
Who's here after the embarrassment of a debate?
Lets all vote....
...FOR NONE OF THE ABOVE.
It's hard to argue with George's logic here. Of all comedians, I think that George, along with Bill Hicks and a few others, managed to achieve something really special; they made us laugh and think at the same time. RIP guys.
Malicant truer words never were spoken.
Presidents are not elected to change things.. They are elected to keep things the way they are.
Will NOT being voting again in 2024.
Every election period it’s more spot on. We were blessed to ever get someone like George.
I’m an 18 yr old, but even before I became my age I still knew not to vote. Nothing is going to change. Thank you George Carlin for spreading awareness.
Only solution has NOTHING to do with voting. Incoming government inevitable, regardless of what man does. Daniel 2:44.
Watch this every election day
Have been eligible to vote since 2000, and not once in my life have I voted, and have never will. I thank George for this segment, it honestly woke me up to the madness.
I’m watching this doing the midterms he right the people they put in office are a reflection of themselves😅

Keep it going! I'm 37 and never voted.

I hear ya Kaugh. It's frustrating isn't it? In tx just now (my state) voting machines were glitchy and rigged basically. No one truly knows wtf is ever really going on these days in politics and voting lol. What a mess... No wonder people don't vote. Time is spent better enjoying life on election day rather than hanging out in line with a bunch of stupid assholes trying to vote.

Now what if you voted, but the politicians that you DIDN'T vote for get elected? I think those people get to complain even more than the people who didn't vote at all.
They legitimized the shitshow.
nope, by the act of voting you agree to go with the person who won even if it isn't yours
false dichotomy w7100 and dreggsao or at least a jump in logic there, trying to think of a metaphor to explain this better.
Corey Pitchford do you not know what voting is?
Nope. By voting you are playing the game; you are a supporter of the corrupt two party system that ultimately elects a corrupt leader that supports corporate tyranny at the expense of the public good. I vote none of the above, until someone comes along that actually supports the public good and isn't corrupt, which of course is unlikely because I don't really agree in the first place with being led. Politicians are all talk, but no show precisely because they are trying to become president or trying to get in some governmental office, they need your support and so they say anything at the time that is popular with the majority of the public so they can earn the public's trust and get what they want, which is exactly what Carlin was pointing out in this video when he says "selfish" politicians.
This aged so fucking well
This has aged so well its amazing.
George was a comedy legend.
A philosopher with a sense of humor.
so weird this was in my recommended videos of days today. rip George the world needs more men like you. i aspire to be the man you was.
I dropped any party affiliation a couple of years ago. I doubt I'll ever vote again. George said it best in this clip. 💯
He is so right 100%
i'm saving this for the next dipstick that tells me i can't complain if i don't vote.
why's she care? she gonna live forever on that demon blood anyway lol.
Kewl Beans that was the only joke part on this..
Well said Earth Smash. Samantha B said that I'm a asshole for not voting. She's hilarious, makes good points, and I like her show... But fuck off with that retarded ass shit lol.
Lesson to learn from this? Every person you like and admire will always let you down in some way.
IT was a joke ! you need to vote. in order to system to work
