WEBVTT 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.000 [Music Playing] 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:10.000 <v Deena Nicole Cortese> What? Was there a gas leak in here? Jeez! I think your blogs finally got to your guys' heads. 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:11.000 <v Pauly D> Hey! 00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:13.000 <v Snooki> Hey! Who you guys voting for in November? 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.000 <v Ronnie Ortiz Magro> Ah, Snooks! Who cares?! 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:16.000 <v JWoww> Yeah [??] 00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:22.000 <v Snooki> What the F is wrong with you people? I have a baby inside of me! I am seriously worried about this country's future. 00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:28.000 <v Sammi Giancola> Hey, I care. It just seems like individual votes matter much less. It's like what's the point? 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:38.000 <v Vinny Guadagnino> Uh, you guys realize that this type of apathy is damaging towards our younger generations? If anything our lessened influence is a self-fulfilling prophecy. 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.000 <v Pauly D> Yo, I think I heard Deena self-fulfilling last night [Laughs] 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:49.000 <v Deena Nicole Cortese> Mike, what do you think? Hasn't Jersey been a reliable blue state in electoral politics? So it influences voters as media at the federal level? 00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:55.000 <v The Situation> A keen observation, Deena. But, keep in mind there's still local candidates and valid initiatives that demand consideration. 00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:56.000 <v Jwoww> Where'd you guys learn all of this [Beep]? 00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:57.000 <v The Situation> It's called being informed, Jenny. 00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:07.000 <v JWoww> No, Mike. I mean where did you learn this [Beep]? Because you're oversimplifying an issue that's as much about the entrenched power structure in Washington as it is about individual voter detachment! 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.000 <v Ronnie Ortiz Magro> Totally! It's G T L time up in here! 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.000 <v Sammi Giancola> You just G T L'd yesterday! 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:22.000 <v Pauly D> No, no no. He means G T L as in game theory logic. And he has a point. From a game theory standpoint, as advanced by Oscar Morgenstern, what incentives does his opposition have to compromise? 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:24.000 <v Vinny Guadagnino> Hey Ron, can I talk to you for a second? 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.000 <v Vinny Guadagnino> Are you seriously buying Pauly's antiquated game theory rubbish!? 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:35.000 <v Ronnie Ortiz Magro> I think he makes a fair point. Of course young voters are apathetic. Turnout will always be depressed among the younger demographic without a viable third party. 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:43.000 <v Vinny Guadagnino> REALLY!? Are YOU seriously regurgitating those tired talking points in favor of a third party? In a plurality rule electoral structure there's a natural tendency for a two-party system. That's Duverger's Law! 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.000 <v Ronnie Ortiz Magro> Don't you try to school me on Duverger! I wrote the book on Duverger! 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.000 <v Deena Nicole Cortese> Hey, meatball! I was using that for my freaking nails! 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:51.000 <v Ronnie Ortiz Magro> A pillow!? 00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:52.000 <v Snooki> Oopsies. 00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.000 <v Deena Nicole Cortese> Yeah! Suck my dick! 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:58.000 [Everyone Yelling] 00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.000 <v Snooki> Everyone! 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.000 <v Snooki> Everyone shut up! 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:10.000 <v Snooki> Look. I got a frickin' baby in me and I don't want him getting all agitated. A shore has divided against the south cannot stand. 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:17.000 <v JWoww> She's right. I think that's one thing that we can all agree on. It's important that we use our power for the two thousand and twelve election. 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:23.000 [Music Playing] 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.000 <v The Situation> It's true. With forty-five million young people eligible to vote in November, we can decide this election. 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:32.000 <v Pauly D> Log on to power of twelve dot org to find out how you can flex your political power. 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:38.000 [Music Playing] 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:39.000 <v Vinny Guadignino> Very well researched, Ronaldo. 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.000 <v Ronnie Ortiz Magro> Well, thank you. 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:47.000 [Music Playing]
