And defenders of that scam forget we are a republic not an feudal system. If they are supposed to represent the voters as they claim there would be no unbound (Super-delegates) who serve no purpose but to protect the party. They do not represent the voters of their states.

My state's an open primary with split votes which is how Chump won with less than 40%.

You’re still stuck in the mindset that the parties should reflect our system of government. They don’t.

They operate as private entities. Of course the super-delegates protect the party. That’s their role.

You have one lousy vote in November. That’s all. And it’s nothing new.

Are you aware that the Founders didn’t even trust the public to elect Senators? State legislatures selected Senators until the 17th Amendment was passed in 1913.

You want a bigger say in your government or in your party of choice? Get involved. Work yourself into a place of influence, along with like-minded voters. Change the rules from within — because all the outside caterwauling is just noise.
