When people have to defend the primary system by saying we've never had a democracy and shouldn't have one, they're urinating in the wind

From the article: This “has never been a pure democracy” explained Levin.

I don't suppose the fact that his statement is correct would have any bearing on the subject. Some of the writings of our founders discuss this in detail.

“I don’t suppose the fact that his statement is correct would have any bearing on the subject.”

Apparently, to some, it justifies making a mockery out of voting.

This is little more than a replay of the 1824 election, in which the elites thwarted the will of the voters and gave the Presidency to John Q Adams when Andrew Jackson had won the highest percentage of both the popular vote and electoral college. A dangerous game because Jackson was a truly violent man.

Well then, the fact that the King and the Nobility selected our representatives and told us who they would be means that we had a fine, Representative Democracy, when were were a colony of England just like we do now.

Unfortunately for the current GOPe, Washington DC, Globalist Apologist, Nobility, that's not the sort of Representative Democracy the Revolution and Constitution created to allow us to choose our own representatives rather than having the Nobles select them for us and the majority of the population is now wise to the lie that our "Betters" choosing for us is the same thing as choosing for ourselves.

Furthermore, you can stick Levin's BS and garbage, intended to calm the unwashed masses yet again, where the sun don't shine. Several generations of constant lies since Reagan have wiped away all the trust folks once had in such fine "media pundits" and put them on the same level as any other dimwit who tries to sell the "calm down, you just don't understand" lie the way you and others here do.

Funny how it's all about principles and perception when someone like Levin sells their book and all about protecting the Federal Nobility (both parties) when it's time to actually get anything done. You know, like how everything would be fine when Republicans controlled both Houses of Congress, until they did, at which time it became the same whining crap that Levin now accuses others of. "Oh, my, we can't stop Barry with just the Congress, we need the Presidency as well.

Well, the Republican go along to get along Congress can work with someone other than their own carefully groomed President or Democrat Bitch and we'll see which of the Republican Congress Critters are worth keeping. Those that aren't can go to the trash can without their Nobility benefits just like the pundits who have yammered for two decades about how we all have to be patient while millions lost their jobs and almost everything they had.

Now, go back and pass out Teddy Bears and Soccer Balls to the nice people coming across the border, I'm sure they're all anxious to listen to you, Levin, Rush, and all the other GOPe twits who have had their day.
