What you said! Plus not being allowed to count the Super delegates until the convention.

Lining up and counting the Super delegates up front, from the beginning, is stacking the deck.
We need to get rid of the delegates altogether and have directing voting in open primaries. Paper ballots and no touch screen voting machines.
Give the power to the People by taking it away from the party. The Party should be responsive to the people, not as we have now, the party itself campaigning for their chosen candidate in the primary, while working against the rest of the candidates. The party has to be neutral, impartial for all candidates running.

Closed primaries allow the party leaders to disenfranchise many millions of people, by picking who

they want you to vote for. Never mind who you want to vote for in the primaries. Never mind the party is supposed to be neutral in the primaries.
The Democratic party leadership was far from impartial, starting in 2008. The intent was to steamroll this primary with their pick and they did that quite well... Pending the outcome of the numerous law suits involving election fraud.
This primary is a case in point as to why open primaries are better.

I have plenty of words, but would most likely be attacked for posting them. But you have it exactly correct.
And this election is a setup to make things even worse in the future than than they are now.

But I will say...

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

We kill people with impunity in other countries, then wonder why it is happening more frequently here too? Really? Really now? Why the disconnect with so many?

Actually they do care very much.

It is just that they are being lied to so much, they don't know what or who to believe anymore. When they figure it out, and they will, then the needed changes will happen.
But the longer it takes to figure things out, the more the chance reality will get very ugly for many during the correction.
