Today in AP US History, otherwise known as APUSH, we took today off from learning about Reconstruction to explore the significance of Super Tuesday. Apparently, contrary to popular belief, the states that a candidate wins matters not. (at least for the Democrats) What matters is how many delegates each candidate wins. If one candidate wins a little more than half of one state, well, there’s still a significant number of delegates left for the other candidate. The Republican party does things differently: winner takes all in each state. But we pretty much know what’s going to happen there anyway. The only interesting stuff really is who the Democrats pick. I still don’t quite get the whole thing yet, but seeing as I have a year left before I can vote, I really don’t mind much. We all know that theocracies ought to replace our current system regardless. HAHA no.
You may never quite get it but don’t give up. I’m 50 and it still makes my head hurt.
