Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: FFS! I am tired of reading this S*** [View all]In a plurality, the candidate who had the most votes still has a majority of the party voting against him, or her.
Then that candidate needs to try and pitch woo at those delegates who represent folks who did not vote for the candidate.

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
