@@Leminisca I think people assumed and wrote comments and liked comments before watching, maybe partly because of how early comments have much higher chance of becoming popular and top comments.
I too was thinking its about the US election, but its about something totally different.
The way comments work on youtube fuels lazy comments, many useless, unnecassary, unpopular, or even straight up wrong comments bloating the comment section.
and replies to comments are sorted by time of posting, which is a desaster in my opinion.

what the speaker is referencing is the slip of democracy worldwide which has been on trend and tracked for quite some time now. she references her own home country, cited a total of 70 elections happening this year; not mentioning the united states, and brought up important issues in her country that the citizen assemblies helped.
Maybe you should use your critical thinking skills to understand why TED felt the need to post this specific talk after the election that took place, why Americans may feel inclined to watch and resonate with this talk, and the correlation of such principles.

@Ketakandriana Rafitoson Louisiana started a legal battle, recently settled by SCOTUS that organizers can be held liable for injuries that occur at protest. Black Lives Matters organized a protest after the murder of Alton Sterling by a Policeman. A policeman at the protest was hit by a brick and the organizer was individually held liable for his injuries. Such a covert way of silencing the public by these out of control evangelical activist judges

You mean Citizen Assemblies like Worker Soviets?
What was set up to make a Soviet a Soviet?
1.Everyone can be at anytime vote into any function
2.Everyone can be at anytime vote OUT OFF any function
3.Everyone in any function have to, at anytime, give account about his decisions
4.Everyone in any function may never receive a salary higher then a skilled worker
That is what Lenin set forth as as rules to the soviets so they can be democratic Communists
Those are what Stalin turn down when he seized control with his petite-bourgeois counterrevolution and bureaucratic Dictatorship
Those aren’t training grounds, those are the way the working class organized it self
Worker if you want to keep your Democracy alive, keep the bourgeois Liberals away from it. They only will invite capitalistic Opportunism and is little brother, Fascism, as an “valid opinion” and destroy it

Ketakandriana’s point about citizen assemblies really makes sense, especially in a world where people are often frustrated with how democracy works. Amazingly, groups of everyday people can come together, discuss real issues, and make decisions that affect their lives. I didn’t know much about Madagascar’s challenges before, but empowering citizens to take action in their communities feels like something that could work anywhere.
