How Voters Decide: Crash Course Government and Politics #38

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
So today, Craig is going to try to get inside the heads of voters by discussing how voters make decisions. Now obviously, like all decision making, voter decisions are influenced by a multitude of factors, but the three we are going to focus on today (and the three political scientists seem to think play the biggest role) are party loyalty, the issues involved in an election, and candidate characteristics. Now this all might seem like common sense, and well it sort of is, but it's important to be aware of and take into account the factors that influence our decisions - especially when considering that many voters are not particularly well-informed

Us liberals (and I mean REAL liberals decide off of good reasoning, facts, and empathy for our fellow humans. Conservitives decide off of selfishness, raw emotion, and misinformation. They are fooled into believing that regulation is bad, privatization is good. They are fooled into thinking spending money on socail programs is bad because it costs too much, but we need to spend billions on the milatary (even if there-s no war) to keep our country defended. They are tricked into believing that corporations are on there side, and the government is not.

If someone is going to say that -all republican voters are all white voters- then you can say that a young African American voter would vote for an african american candidate only because they are black, rather than the issues at hand. I know some young voters both african americans with some white female band wagoners who only voted for Obama because of his race and claimed -to be a part of history-, rather than voting based on the issues. I vote based off of what I feel is the best for the country, not my personal agendas and wants.

So, I'm just starting out as a professor at the university level and I must say these videos are extremely helpful. I teach American Government, Campaigns and Elections and other government related courses and trying to find ways I can present information to students with limited to no background knowledge takes up SO much time. These videos are a pretty good place to get my bearings, though. Thanks!

Not sure how voters in the past picked their candidates but in 2016 it's going to be about jobs, security, and the future direction of the west as a whole. You would never know it though because our voter brains are being covered by media vomit.

Right now more women are voting for Hillary Clinton only because she is a woman and they like her stance on certain social issues that appeal to them. Same wrong mistake and idea that happened with the youth voting for Obama.

I don't understand how minimum wage is a spatial issue. I've literally never heard of any anti-raise-the-minimum-wage movement or rhetoric. I would say its a definite a valence issue.

I wonder what would happen if not a single person voted? Could American society function without politicians? I thinks so. What do you think?

Can someone help me please? I need to know has there been any past elections where the -median voter theorem- has helped a candidate win
