Sorry to burst your bubble, but citizens don't elect the president. This is one of the citizenship questions most naturally born citizens don't know about.

I still prefer Veritaisum over a channel like Mark Rober which has almost 4x the subscribers, with content that sounds informational, but is really just dumbed down. Maybe Mark Rober is more aimed at younger kids, but they both are very similar with trying to make math and science accessible, but executed differently and I think Veriatsium done better.

With videos with exclusive access, i'd imagine it's difficult to do all the fact checking of everything the company is telling you. Tom Scott also dealt with this, and it requires a tremendous effort. If there are lies being spread and the description isn't updated or a pinned comment on the video set, then yeah, that's shitty behavior, but generally I haven't seen that from Derk.

I hate Trump as much as the next person, and virtually all the pandemic response was a shit show from the White House, but operation warp speed proved to be an actual good thing during a terrible time. It's very impressive we developed a vaccine so quickly and got us out of the pandemic faster because of it. It's kinda funny how one of his best accomplishments is the only thing his supporters will boo him about, and he largely can't take the credit for because of the backlash.

On Jan 20th, she's going from Vice President to unemployed. Unemployed to governor would be a step up.
