Agelbert NOTE: Why am I NOT surprised that the video stops and pauses in different spots, as if somebody at YouTube doesn't want too many people to see it? Also, I learned of this through an e-mail from Inequality Media 👍, but the link to view the e-mail through the browser is looping (IOW, while it doesn't come right out and say the link is dead, YOU CAN'T GET THERE. ). Please do your part and make this video go viral. The following comments under the video explain why you shoud do so:

Key takeaway: the parties make the rules and run everything.  Anyone else see the problem with this?

Key takeaway: our "democracy" is a cruel joke that runs entirely on money and insider corruption.

So, basically, the wolves watching the henhouse, with different sets of rules for different wolves.  Sounds like a chicken dinner.  How does doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result, not equate to insanity in our political system?  It’s utterly broken.  If the experiment of American governance was being ran in a lab, it would be deemed a failure, the petri dishes would be incinerated, the equipment sterilized, and the experiment greatly altered and started over.

Every four years, our country holds a general election to decide who will be our next president. Before that happens, though, each party must choose its candidate through primary elections.

But our system of primaries can be a bit confusing. There's primaries and caucuses, open and closed primaries, contested and brokered conventions — it's hard to keep up.

Our latest video is a quick primer on the upcoming primaries, containing the most important things you need to know based on the most frequently asked questions.
