Hi everyone! I know we are not required to post for this week, but a friend brought this YouTube video to my attention and I thought it was of particular relevance to our recent discussions about citizen knowledge levels. It is taken from an Australian television show named "The Chasers", and it includes a string of interviews with American citizens about domestic and international politics. It is not encouraging, but enjoy!

Citizen Competence in American Democracy
This is both hilarious and embarrassing all at once. It had me in stitches.
