How much do you really know about politics? Voting is a right, but we’d warrant that most people know more about pop culture than they do about the body that makes laws for the way they live.
Yesterday, in a post-show meeting, our 23-year-old Producer Marisa asked what the difference between a Democrat and a Republican was…and she doesn’t even know if she’s a) registered to vote or b) if it’s even free. When it comes to pop culture, though, she’s ACE on everything from music to movies.
We’ll see if she can answer these super simple questions about the government…can you?
