(Nick Bernabe via ANTIMEDIA) Denver, CO — The 2016 election has been a wild ride, with two insurgent grassroots campaigns literally giving the political establishment a run for its money. But as the events of this presidential primary season play out, it’s becoming clear the U.S. election — and even more so, the presidential race — is a big scam being perpetrated on the American people.
Events from the last week have exposed the system as an illusion of choice and a farce. They have reinforced at least one study showing the U.S. is an oligarchy rather than a democratic republic.
The Wyoming democratic caucus took place on Saturday, purportedly to allow voters to have their voices heard in the race between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Sanders lost the Wyoming caucus by winning it with a 12 percent margin.

for the people of the people by the people.
I take you do not agree with this?
If people are risking their lives and paying taxes then they have a damn right to vote, but then again you seem content that certain people be excluded when it benefits the establishment.
I’ll tell it to my own face—I too serve.
Where states have bound delegates to primary or caucus results, those delegates are bound to vote for the assigned candidate. For one ballot, or several, as the state rules dictate.
There's no "lie" involved. Most times this is uneventful, because the voters pick a majority candidate.
No one has the right to vote in a caucus. Which word of that do you not understand?
I’m not condemning either. I’m just saying if one is going to condemn one they should condemn the other. I’m calling out Trump for his BS.
primaries become common in the 1920’s BTW
Do you go to the local meeting of the Elks club and demand to vote in their proceedings? Cause you’re a veteran and America and “by the people”?
non one hasd a right to vote in a caucus is your belief.
I would love for you to come here in fornt of a bunch of vets and acting combat marines and say that crap, instead of behind your keyboard and lets see how popular you would be then.
Especially when those people have seen their friends die for this country.
I take it you never served or saw combat or have any kids in combat units.
OK, accepting that answer for now, did all of the elections before the 1920s disenfranchise everyone? Did they violate the right to vote? Were they un-American conspiracies?
Which state? And then go look it up...there are many sites out there that can tell you that info.
I find it funny when Trump talks about all the votes (sounds like Al Gore in 2000). This is not a national popular vote election. In the general election there are no popular votes...if there were not as many people would stay home. In TX and CA where you know who is going to win many people just stay home because their vote really doesn’t matter (for or against). Now Trump is trying to compare a caucus with a primary.
yea serve what?
You may need to go see the doctor...I think you may have PTSD. I’m not saying this as a joke or to be funny...you may need help.
You are equating the elks club to the nomination of a President where men nd women have died and risked their life.
Get a frigging clue and stop embarrassing yourself.
yes I beige so and that why primaries came upon us. It was to take power away form the elitist establishment and give it to the people for the people and by the people.
Something which you seem to not understand.
well seeing as you keep moaning about FL and WTA ten maybe Gore should have got some of the electoral count in your mind or do you pick and choose which suits the establishment.
It’s not a belief of mine, it’s a fact. People have the right to vote in general elections. Not in private political party’s proceedings.
Do you go to the Elks club and demand to vote on their stuff?
Are you OK with a “guy with the most delegates wins” rule, even if that means a split field has a “winner” with 22% support?
“Which state?”
Colorado, out of the 65,000 votes how many voted for Trump delegates, Thanks!
Really I need mental help for pointing out that vets and others risk their lives to keep you safe and they are denied a vote and you defend that.
Yea keep going , maybe it is time to look in that mirror again.
Private is private. What don’t you understand? People can vote in the general. That is their right to exercise the franchise.
If voting in any party’s primary or caucus is a Constitutional right, by what right do we exclude Democrats from Republican primaries? That would seem to be unConstitutional discrimination based on religion.
