to have an Olympics this year,

there's no silver medal when
you're running for president.

out the conspiracy

00:03:56,236 --> 00:03:58,864
that menopause was invented
by the fan industry.

00:04:00,407 --> 00:04:03,511
Okay, I am not interested
in conspiracies.

I am trying to figure out
why I'm not registered,

from a documentary.

Hmm.
111
00:04:16,590 --> 00:04:20,278
Narrator: American history
teaches us that in 1776,
112
00:04:20,302 --> 00:04:23,656
the Founding Fathers declared
that all men were created equal.
113
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,617
But is that
too rose-colored a view?
114
00:04:26,641 --> 00:04:28,453
Three-quarters of the people
who signed
115
00:04:28,477 --> 00:04:30,663
the Declaration of Independence
owned slaves.
116
00:04:30,687 --> 00:04:33,791
Not only were the vast majority
of them slaveowners,
117
00:04:33,815 --> 00:04:36,335
but the Founding Fathers
imposed limits on voting
118
00:04:36,359 --> 00:04:38,421
that not only excluded
Black people,
119
00:04:38,445 --> 00:04:41,924
but all women and non-property
holders, as well.
120
00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:44,719
When this nation elected
its first president,
121
00:04:44,743 --> 00:04:48,848
only six percent of the adult
population was eligible to vote.
122
00:04:48,872 --> 00:04:50,933
That means that "We the People"
123
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:53,853
has never meant
"all the people."
124
00:04:53,877 --> 00:04:55,670
Six percent?
125
00:04:56,963 --> 00:04:58,608
That's not democracy.
126
00:04:58,632 --> 00:05:00,467

about why he was purged
from the voter rolls,

facing some unpleasant truths

about how America
wasn't living up
142
00:05:40,966 --> 00:05:42,443

into the founding of America,

00:05:46,972 --> 00:05:49,575

scalding-hot pizza rolls.

all in the pursuit
of understanding our system.

I could help him understand.

by an unelected group
of 538 people

Uh... well, the judges say
they can't prove

that you're not right,
172
00:06:57,292 --> 00:06:58,853
so, Charlie, you get $100.

Our next question.
176
00:07:03,590 --> 00:07:07,278
True or false --
Even with the Electoral College,
177
00:07:07,302 --> 00:07:10,156
everyone's vote for
the president counts the same.
178
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:12,074
True.
