Not all those problems are of the same level of problem. And you could make similar

complaints about caucuses -- and yet most people here didn't seem to have any problem with them, as long as they resulted in a win for Bernie.

Caucuses don't allow early voting. They allow only very limited absentee voting (my out of state college student didn't qualify). They are only open for a few hours and require you to stay for those hours.

Should I say that if you like caucuses then you aren't a Democrat and don't believe in Democracy? As much as i dislike caucuses, I've never said that.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
