(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.

same talking points of the establishment, how proud you must be.
Are you proud of the fact the people out of state and in combat overseas were denied their vote too?
I mean they only risk their lives for you and the establishment who does this corruption.
frigging unfortunate that people risking their lives overseas in the marines cold nto vote, frigging unfortunate.
Because we want a candidate who is acceptable to, as a minimum, a majority of the party. Is that hard to understand?
Imagine what happens next time, under your rules. We have 5 candidates who get votes and delegates and we have to automatically nominate the guy with 22% of the votes.
Think objectively.
Yeah, so angry that barely 100 people showed up to protest. LOL
Nothing but the corrupt system that has the power to stop you.
Right. That's why the Libertarians and other third parties don't exist.
I suppose we could suspend all of our military operations so they can all go home.
Seems impractical.
You're delusional.
So cruz is acceptable to the establishment, ok why tell the voters to vote and why tell the candidates to campaign, what a waste of money.
I think you should think about this objectively.
OK so you now want to bring home every marine form around the world and let then live in just their states so they can vote , instead of stopping the establishment being corrupt?
How do sailors then vote from CO too, or oil riggers, or business men and women?
Shall we bring all them home too so they can’t make a living?
You are defending the establishment elitist party and yet you as much as you try do not have the right answers, because you want to parrot the same talking points.
exactly
Remember when cruz said this and the cruz voters were proud of to and were anti-establishment?
“Let me encourage other members of the establishment: Keep supporting Donald Trump because every time you do it, what it is doing is telling conservatives all over the country is where you stand and who stands with you”.
- Ted Cruz, New Hampshire stump speech
People from certain states based over seas risking their lives, making money for their family and paying taxes were denied their right to vote, because the establishment makes the rules for the establishment and yet some are happy to fdefend people being stripped of their vote.
You have no right to vote in a private party. Until you understand that you’ll never get it.
What? The candidates still need to win the contests in the various states so that they have the delegates to win the nomination.
I honestly don't know what is going through your mind.
Now, try again. Are you happy to support a candidate who won 22% of the delegates, but has more than any other candidate?
Yes or no?
They have no right to vote in a primary. No one does.
so you know what tell that to my face or any other tax payer or those risking their lives for this country and you , yes you and see the response you get.
Their vote was denied and you defend this and that makes you an establishment piece of
funny how you and Clinton virtually speak the same words and repeat nearly exactly the same sentences and points and yet you post around the same time too.
So I will tell you again. You are defending the right to stop military members voting and say they have no right?
yes or no.

Thought as you are a vet and love the military might find this interesting that two freepers think the military doe snot have a right to vote , including those over in Afghanistan.
So answer my question: are you going to be consistent and condemn the states' use WTA of the Electoral College the same way you're condemning the state party use of WTA in the primaries?

“Maybe you don’t know this but we do not get to vote directly for Cruz or Trump. We vote for delegates.
In states that “allow” you to vote for the candidate directly is lying to you because they actually send delegates who may or may not vote for who you voted for.”
OK so what is the breakdown of Cruz Delegates and Trump Delegates that people voted for in the initial vote. Thanks!
Nobody has a right to vote in a primary or caucus. Do you really not understand this?
When did primaries become common? Answer the question.
