Braden TS #13

 Dojun and I talked today about politics, and how our separate political systems worked. I asked if they had a two party system, and he informed me that while there are two parties larger than all the other ones, there are smaller parties which actually have seats in the national assembly. I then told him about smaller parties in the US, and how they seem very far from getting seats in the senate or the house. We also talked about the electoral college in the US, and he was surprisingly understanding about why we use it. He was surprised to hear that so many people dislike it, but I explained how in some states it made the people's votes feel pointless. I also talked to him about how in the 2016 election, the popular vote and the electoral college have different results. He was pretty familiar with our last president, so he said he could see why that would make people upset.
