4. He's right: Republicans don't believe in democracy
Unfortunately, neither does the DNC.

6. I agree with you, superdelegates are a travesty and the Democartic Party should stand for democracy
However, and please correct me if I'm wrong, you agree with me when I say that the DNC doesn't believe in democracy.
Is that right? |

8. One thing about this election season...
... the people are inadvertently learning how the Presidential election process actually works in this country. I have a feeling the MSM has no idea of the damage they could be doing -- provided the people pay attention and start working on getting the process fixed.
It's theoretically possible that this could be the last Presidential election with Politics as We Know It (tm), but that will require a lot less apathy than has been displayed heretofore. -- Mal |

9. this is the problem
This is the problem with following a 300 year old document. Situations change and the document does not. 2nd amendment..... really, militia? semi-automatic weapons, not muskets? really, same with voting and elections..we still use the electoral college stuff.... really, not majority wins?... allowing each party to change their operations from year to year.... ridiculous. Starting campaigns 2-3 years before elections..... its bullshit, election campaigns should be 6 weeks max. 2 parties.....bullshit, we need 4-5 parties repubs, democrats, independents, green, whigs, federalists, etc of EQUAL weight.
