The primary process is not a democracy. Never has been.

Since when does the Electoral College apply to Primaries?

[Dennis M.]

With the Democratic party the candidate picks the delegate. With the pubs the party picks. Almost all conventions go to a second ballot. As such with the pubs the voters are irrelevant. I have been a pub all my life and am going to leave. It is way to crooked.

So what’s the point of voting? The parties and their candidates bombard us with ads telling us to vote, but in the end its all a big charade. The party apparatchiks decide all.

I’m sure many delegate votes are purchased with various political favors. Such corrupt deals effectively negate the votes of the common man.
