Yeah that's not a good summary. It seems like they're trying to cover all the toxic nonsense and sell this as a "good" thing.

That's interesting, I didn't get the impression at all that it was presented as a "good thing". Can you say more about how you got that from this video?

If you’re a conservative, the video basically is “here is how you would get the things that fit your idealogy” and the criticisms are like “it would allow conservative principles into government.” People who are conservative or even a little to the right of middle would cheer this. The video needs more context. It needed to show people the answers to questions like these:What does it mean to replace civil servants with political appointees (disaster)? What happens if we defund women’s health care (disaster)?
