Hank Green sits down with Ryan Busse in new video

Hank Green is not one to shy away from important political issues. He frequently partakes in initiatives to encourage people to vote, and many of the charitable efforts he assists in running benefit people in less fortunate circumstances than many of his viewers.

So it's not surprising that in his latest vlogbrothers video, Green conducts a nearly 50-minute conversation with a politician -- specifically, a politician who is running against the current governor of Montana for the seat (the state Green resides in).

"Politics is weird, and so is Montana, and so is Greg Gianforte," the video description reads. "Pay attention to your state and local politics...it's important!"

Ryan Busse is running against the current governor of Montana, which has been a lifelong dream for him. In the video, he told Green more about why the race is important to him and what he hopes to be able to accomplish along the way.

"I want to do things," Busse told Green in the interview. "I really do. I want this place to be better."

In the past several months, Green has been very open about issues related to politics, humanity, and the world. He made a video earlier this year addressing whether or not he would ever consider running for president -- explaining why even though he doesn't plan on ever running, that does not mean getting involved in making the world better isn't something anyone can do.

Many of the video comments are related to the fact that the video itself is nearly an hour long -- which is unusual for a vlogbrothers video. Even after the four-minute video rule went away, people still seemed surprised. But clearly Green wanted as many eyes on the conversation as possible, which makes sense. Elections in the U.S. aren't far off now, and all this really does matter for all of us.
