1/3 cannot name a single branch

It's no surprise we have people on QVC arguing about whether the moon is a star or a planet

You know that these claims almost always turn out be based on something completely deceptive, right?

The wording seems fairly straightforward to me.

I can name all three. I dont know politics or names of anyone. I dont keep up on politics. I didnt know Vice Presidents name until the trump election, I dont vote. I might this election, I signed up at least.

My girlfriend just can name legislative. She knows names of politicians and keeps up on some of the news/media. She is a strong believer that everyone should vote and certain politicians she can name are awful and certain are great.

In the grand scheme of things, that is probably more relevant information when it comes to voting.

What does it matter? By some narratives we live in an evil fascist capitalist patriarchal anti-women dictatorship where one race and one god rules supreme
