I think you should take a more direct approach in a lot of these videos, adam.. it is very easy to find people that will make themselves look stupid in the wake of ignorance, but it is that much harder to convince those same people that their way of thinking is wrong. You did an excellent job explaining government spending as an underlying issue to this guy.. but in what respect did you change how he will vote, or change how he views the government as a whole?
I think it would serve you better if you explain flaws in other's arguments and views instead of shaming them, and perhaps worked with their views to bring them closer to the correct conclusion.
Almost everyone will agree they would prefer 0 taxes and 0 government spending, but privatization of everything government is logistically impossible. Although the government consistently wastes trillions on pointless wars, the MIC, inefficient health care, etc.. there are still regulations and laws that need to be enforced by a central body... how could we move a massive number of people away from our two garbage parties toward a more decentralized, less bought out and more efficient government? Do we just have to wait for all the baby boomers to die?
sorry for the rambling, I hope this all makes sense.. i've been celebrating the holidays a bunch today. Hope all is good!
