“Elections need to returned to the control of the People.”

You want us to get rid of our representative republic in exchange for a pure democracy as Bernie wants?

I see - we just hand things off to our Party leaders (nonelected) and let them tell us who we are electing. Sure. ‘Ol Adolph loved that system.

Let’s see if we can ramp up your education just a little. We elect presidents to serve as our executive for a four-year period. We elect Senators for six- year periods and Representatives for two- year periods to represent us in Congress to make laws where necessary and to develop and oversee the budget.

None of them, however, do our electing for us, capeche?
