In honor of the great American circus government
shutdown, I will now begin an educational series on my blog by answering questions about American politics. As more posts are created in this series, they will be linked to the bottom of this post.
Don’t know
what the heck a caucus is, what the Affordable Care Act means, why we have an electoral college and feel too afraid
to ask? Have you thought you could escape a boring government textbook by looking up a term in wikipedia, only to still not get it, and possibly fall into
an "i-don’t-understand-most-of-these-words-coma" 30 seconds in? Well friend, me too: you’ve come to
the right place.
I have a deep conviction that for our country to be a true
democracy (where all the citizens participate equally), that all the citizens should
understand how it works. If we don’t understand, how do we take part?
These will be quick informative blurbs answering legit
questions about our very complicated democratic system. I think that it shouldn’t
be this complicated. So let’s simplify.
I will now take your questions.
