Wow thanks! I read a bit here and there on the web, but this is the first time i come to
understand how elections are done in the US, especially this thing with the "Super delegates"
And all states by themselves..
Seems s lot is based on historical events, and evolved out of understanding what works and what not. And yes, how it is described it is not a real democracy, but as you said a direct one for all aspects of decisions would probably screw up a country - you need at least some education, knowledge and experience.. even in Switzerland direct democracy is only applied seldomly, for certain decisions, and carefully.
Otherwise a lot of democracies would suddenly have the death penalty back, a lot more nationalism/chauvinism, and do their way of 'Brexit'
Will read this again thoroughly this evening, thanks again Platapus!
