Egalatarian's JournalAnother nail in the coffin of the US Elections being part of a democracy
Being a lifelong democrat and once thinking we had the best system to elect our leaders and officials I have come to the realization this election year that winning fairly has been completely thrown out the window purposely with over 75% of the electorate willing to accept this as the status quo. The high level of toxicity and the lengths gone by candidates, their campaigns, their surrogates, supporters, party leaders, election officials, and the very blatant bias of the media this year is subverting the right of US citizens to vote and the freedom of choice in US elections. The politicians and party leaders have often wondered over the years on how to improve on people participation, voting, and ending apathy in the election process. This year it started to change for the younger generation for the first time in over 40 years. Now involvement by them is again being inadvertently or purposely suppressed because of the choices they are trying to make are disapproved by the majority of the political machine. Is this ever going to change or constantly be repeated? When? How long do we as US citizens wait to enjoy the freedom of choice in election without subversive tactics?
The Right To Vote
It is amazing to me that you want to suppress the right of voters to vote and their freedom of choice in the primary election. You are supposed to be a citizen of a democracy and every US citizen has the right to vote in an election as granted by our constitution. Please stop being part of the movement to suppress this right and let the people of the remaining primary elections to be held vote for the person of their choice. Hilary Clinton and her supporters participated in the primary election all the way to the Democratic National Convention in 2008. Barack Obama's campaign treated her the way she, her supporters and surrogats are treating Bernie Sanders. Even when Obama and his campaign said they had double the super delegates support then she had on June 3, 2008 she did not concede for four more days. Why can you not let this candidate do the same. Especially when all of you know how she was treated. Is this do unto others as done unto you regardless if it is right and knowing how acrimonious she felt for several days afterwards?
