In 2024, Americans will pick their presidential candidates via a series of primary and caucus contests across each state. The process has tremendously important consequences, but many do not understand exactly how it works.
In this animation from the Bertelsmann Foundation, we cover the difference between a Primary and a Caucus.
This is the first in a series of animations from the Bertelsmann Foundation covering key thematic topics in American elections.

Just one important correction. We are not a democracy. We are a constitutional Republic.

When the caucus system was created, there was no internet like today, so it made sense to have a caucus debate, which was a face-to-face debate. It was Engineering that changed the dynamics of face-to-face debate with the creation of the internet and networks. In this virtual environment, at a distance, people debate intensely about politics even in times outside elections. The US electoral system did not keep up with this technological revolution, brought about by Engineering, as it still maintains the in-person caucus debate within the electoral system today almost like a museum piece, outdated and useful in other times. We have to understand that it is not easy for the human sciences to keep up with the evolutionary frenzy of the exact sciences.

Had to go somewhere quick to find the meaning of Caucus. Have I heard the word? Yes. However MO decided to spring one upon us. Which is ok but only found out about it a couple days ahead of the game. 😁
