Mad Men, Woke Etymology and the Suggestion Box

Mo Facts performs an etymological comparison between the terms "hippie" (derived from "hip" or "aware") and "woke." A scene from the television show Mad Men is played to illustrate the divide between the corporate world and the counterculture. Mo Facts describes voting as a "suggestion box," arguing that the system only allows candidates who fit their long-term plans, citing the 2000 election between Bush and Gore.
