“Welcome to life with caucuses. Don’t like it get your state’s version of the party to change it. Or move to a state that has real primaries. it’s funny how many people just recently bothered to find out how they’re state has been selecting delegates for longer than they’ve been alive.”

This seems a bit like saying “Don’t like the say the mafia works? Apply for a job as underboss and work for change within.” Boss Tweed would LOVE the way some of these states do things.

Of course the states are not doing these things. The PARTY is. The PARTY makes decisions on how THEY want to be represented at the convention. People sign up to join the PARTY. And most have been OK with (or not bothering to know anything about) these various selection methods their whole life, until suddenly there’s an election that’s still contested come the state conventions, and all of a sudden they’re all “wait what”. It’s not my fault, or the party’s fault for that matter, that these folks only just started paying attention two weeks ago. You joined a political party without bothering to find out how it works, and never bothered to get involved in how it works, and now are shocked to find out the party isn’t terribly interested in your opinion. In other news, rain is wet, dress accordingly.

As far as analogies go, you suck.

That's just a bunch of defeatist drivel. Grab some spine man, and open your eyes. The Tea Party didn't cower under their covers when things weren't going their way. This fall, our county will seize the school board from 20 years of liberal rule. Yeah, it took a lot of effort and commitment but things can be changed on a local, state and national level if you have some sand and show some spine.
