, some individuals would possibly inform you that so as to run for president, you must be taller than five-foot-five. And that you simply want issues referred to as “political positions.” And that you simply’re not allowed to go on a two-month trip throughout peak marketing campaign season. And that it’s best to really put together for debates. And that it’s best to really need to be President. Properly, Ross Perot proved all of them proper. However not earlier than virtually proving them sort of improper first!
REFORM! is written and directed by Jon Bois.

Appreciate the Robert La Follette mention Jon
I watched Bobbybroccoli’s video about the SSC and Perot’s presidential run came up so I already know how it goes but I still can’t wait to hear Jon Bois recount it in his own style.
Jons interest in non uniparty is odd given he hates Trump who is a lefter leaning Perot.
Man, I cant wait for the inevitable Jon Bois documentary a decade from now about how ridiculous this month in particular has been.
You need to do another one of these.
ross perot is the definition of chad. Imagine just deciding you want to be president randomly one day with no political experience or party backing you and being a serious contender for president. Now imagine people decide they want you to be president randomly under the same conditions, not wanting to, and only loosing because you dropped out halfway through to protect your daughter. Dude was badass
That NAACP story is something. I sure hope another political candidate who recently tried to appeal to black voters at a major event and failed to do so won't lose any support as a result… that would be horrible…
All political analysis should go back at least 30 years.
Part 2?
It's so cute that the federal deficit used to be only $4 trillion
I’m ready for Part 2! Love this
It’s insane that the USA don’t have preferential voting for the presidential election. Also the electoral college is insanity to anyone outside of The US .
How could you make a video like this and not mention Admiral Stockdale!
this did not come up on any of my feeds despite being a fan of “Pretty Good” for like 7 years now
I’m guessing you are familiar with the fact that there have been successful “third” parties before in US history that eventually just replaced a failing party? I wish electing a 3rd party candidate would dismantle the two-choices-only model, but the framers of the constitution expected there to be NO political parties ever in the US and admitted the only risk to the government they’d designed was the rise of factions or political parties. The way the constitution works, it’s simply not feasible for a third party candidate to win the electoral votes needed to win. If we had a vote purely based on national popular vote it’s a different story, same as if we had a parliamentary system where you could vote far left/right or moderate left/right and basically casting a vote not only for your representative but for their whole party platform, cognizant of the fact that you’re in a strategic alliance with another party that might not share your view of how things should be in the future but at least a shared view of the current problem.
love the data visualization in this. It really works for me
YUP!! Anotha Jon Bois CLASSIC
OMG, PRETTY GOOD IS BACK. IT'S BACK, OMG
My first full-time job was at a US subsidiary of a Indian subsidiary of a mega Japanese conglomerate all of which was owned by Ross Perot. He was only alive for about my first 5 weeks there but the company newsletter often featured snipets from him. And their software was definitely tech from 1991 and had in big bold letter "Perot Systems" when you booted anything up.
Genuinely found this fascinating, hoping you do more of these!
Ross Perot was the only candidate that was against all the neoliberal trade deals, you missed that
Please don’t give up on this series
31:52 lmao
Secret base will make a third party political campaign interesting 😂😂😂😂 that reminds me, I need to finish fear and loathing on the campaign trail!
Awesome stuff as always
I'm poor. Please drop the rest on YouTube 🙁
So how did Gargan spend the 40 cents?
Any day now y'all. The poor huddled masses will soon know whether Mr. Ventura became president 🙏
cmon jon i think it's time u can smell me now
