(32,988 posts)No more open primaries where anyone off the street can come in and ask for a Democratic ballot. Let them register well ahead of time, months ahead of time, as Democrats. And no more un-democratic caucuses. Those should have gone out with the horse and buggy.
We do have a better system than the repiggies, in that we have super delegates. We need to keep them. People who have shown loyalty to the party, who are elected officials and people who have worked hard for the Democratic party are super delegates. They have earned those spots as super delegates. Look at how all the berniebros whined about super delegates who supported Hillary, until they thought they could turn them to support BS, either through intimidation or a rules change.
Its not just Hillary who owes jackshit to some newcomer. The rest of us owe him nothing as well.
Revolution? There is no revolution. There was an election theft, engineered by a foreign adversary and a corrupt republican party. The theft was gleefully abetted by a lot of naive followers of a nonmember of our party.
We do need to move on. But we need to make changes that will strengthen our primary process and help us to choose the best qualified DEMOCRATS.
