PickVidsBest US politics & elections Videos
「US politics & elections」下面有187部被不同的人、在不同月份推荐过的视频。挑的时候先看对象：入门2部，适合还没学过的人；进阶4部，适合已经懂术语的人；普通向181部，按兴趣就能看；更硬的0部，留给想看推导或细节的人。这一类数量最多的是新闻，所以它们的共同点是留下那个时间点的争论，而不是一份永远的教材。常出现的频道包括CGP Grey、CNN、LastWeekTonight。目录给这个主题划的范围是：US politics: elections, presidents, Congress, campaigns, debates, polling, Trump, Obama, Democrats and Republicans, political speeches, C-SPAN clips, political commentary.如果只看三部，就从《George Lakoff: Moral Politics》开始，它负责把问题讲出画面；然后看《Why Electronic Voting Is Still A Bad Idea》，换一种讲法或例子；最后看《Republic, Lost | Lawrence Lessig | Talks at Google》，留给已经有基础的人。页面按每页24部切开，顺序看的是被推荐跨越了多少个月，不是播放量。每条标题下面那一句是这部片子自己的内容说明，用来区分它在讲定义、过程、演示还是观点。点进去能看到推荐原话、原文链接和适合谁看。看的时候把强烈推荐当成有人明确叫你去看，把引用当成只是拿来举例，把批评留下来对照，不要把每条评论都当成同一力度。
