Politics 101: Primary Elections Explained
For those who have no idea how Primary Elections work, I introduce you to CGPGrey. Once again he educates us through video, and informs of the confusion between Primaries and Caucuses. And how the nomination of a President comes to be.
So without further ado, the man who brought us Coffee: The Greatest Addiction Ever, Daylight Saving Time, Pennies Should Be Abolished, and "2012 & The End of The World" comes the second educational video of the year, "Primary Elections Explained."

Ok Peter...I watched and now I am really sad..
Oh no, don't be sad! It was confusing, I know.
Extremely and I feel totally useless about voting
I know. I sometimes I think my vote doesn't matter, but that's why we have the people we have in office, because so many people thought this way. Imagine if all these people didn't think their votes were useless... we'd have someone like President Bartlett from the TV series, The West Wing as a governor or president. :-)
I'm so glad I watched this video. Confusion be gone and I now feel a little bit smarter. Plus, I did a little extra research and turns out that Texas is one of those open primary states! This means that we could, in theory, go vote for Ron Paul or another non leading candidate to really f*ck up the process and still vote Obama come November. Woo Hoo! We might even be able to vote for Stephen Colbert:

I just watched his other two videos about the electoral college! They we're informative and hilarious. Please post them too. Love you bunches.
