The US presidential election is coming up and both the Democratic and Republican parties are choosing their nominees.
The incumbent, President Donald Trump, has his challengers. But he has always looked like the shoo-in for the Republicans.
Different story for the Democrats, who started with a record 28 candidates and have been working their way down to just one.
The US system for choosing presidential nominees is unlike anything else in the world. It’s messy and convoluted, and not everyone thinks it’s fair. Start Here explains.
First

*First for USA President, all candidates must have and Trump only have to visit Western Wall in Jerusalem to cost both USA citizen votes and vote count integrity.*
07:29, 07:38
*Why our USA President have to visit Western Wall in Jerusalem before final Election Day to cost both USA citizen votes and vote count integrity?*
*Name at least one USA President, who didn’t prefer visiting Western Wall in Jerusalem to preserve USA citizen votes and vote count integrity.*
Pete buttigieg is close with Mark Zuckerberg. They both met in Harvard and he was one of early FB adopters.
Zuckerberg has since sent a number of his people into Pete’s staff.
If there is someone who knows how to rig votes, its Zuckerberg.

I am a big fan of the “Start here” programs. Neutral and informative. Keep it up!
Glad you’re enjoying the show!
Basically an electoral college on a subnational level. Got it.
The people don’t have a say in who becomes president… the real power is with the electoral college…. Hillary Clinton had like 3-4 million MORE votes than Trump… yet the 200 or so people from the electoral college decided to make him president. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF VOTING?
No, I think you’re confusing the electoral college with super-delegates. The super-delegates are individuals who vote for whomever they want in the primaries, the electoral college is a point system based around the US being a federation of states.
Each state gets one electoral college point for every congressperson. The House of Reps get congresspeople based on state population, and each state gets 2 senators on top of that. A very populated state like California has over 50 reps in the House, plus the 2 senators. A low-population state like Vermont has only 1 rep, but gets the same 2 senators as well. Whomever wins Vermont gets 3 points in the EC and whomever wins California gets over 50 points. Clinton won the popular vote in California by 4.5 million votes and got all of those points, but Trump won the popular vote in more states overall. Even though Trump won those states by smaller margins, he got all of the points those states had.
By contrast, Clinton locked up most of the super-delegates (individuals who vote for whom they want) before most people voted in the 2016 primaries and built an insurmountable lead. After that there was little point in voting for any candidate besides her, so many of the voters became bitter and stayed home for both the primary vote AND the general election vote. This led to the Democrats changing the super-delegate system so that they can’t cast their votes until AFTER the people finish voting in the primaries, and only then if no candidate has over 50% of the overall delegates.
Thus, the play this year is to keep Sanders (who will almost certainly gain the overall popular vote) from winning over 50% of the delegates. In that case, it is my understanding that every candidate basically gets a number of votes equal to the delegates they won, plus the super-delegates get to cast their votes. So even if Sanders triples every other candidate in the popular vote but only has 49.9% of the delegates– everyone else can bundle their votes together and nominate someone else.
India’s Citizenship Amendment Bill can you make it on Start here. Thanks and keep it up!
We’re working on one right now!
@Sandra Gathmann Gonzalez Thanks!
Such an informative show, have not missed an episode. This one was a bit confusing, because of the nature of confusion in voting the President of USA.
Can you please do one show on the CAA in India.
It is so necessary to break that whole process of Citizenship into small intelligible points.
good suggestion, im also also very confused with the situation in India, would appreciate a start here about it
As a well informed Indian, I can assure you it’s an extremely convoluted subject, that of CAA, NRC & NPR.
People for it have different reasons, so do people like me who’re not for it. States have different reasons oppose it.
I hope an episode on it comes here soon. 🙂
Another great episode from (Start Here) thanks 🙏🏾 Sandra
So basically a temporary parliamentary system of government actually election*.

Another awesome episode, Sandra. So far, this show has been consistent in packing valuable, no-nonsense information and it’s always well presented. I feel like I learn more watching these few min clips than I would watching months of regular TV. Just wanted to say great job, team! Please keep this up. I wish all news were like this.

Now please explain How Does America was found?
Not the name. Start with the Land of Natives before America – British- French- Spanish all fought and invaded native lands of other,
Than claim it was in colonial periods but to bullies other weakness countries.
The US has obviously never heard of ‘KISS’ when it comes to elections.
‘Keep It Simple Stupid’ .
