(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.

what part of this are you not getting? Most states don’t even have a voice in the primary. I’m in Texas and this is the first year our vote has even mattered! So stop thinking these guys are getting 50%. the’re not.
Now answer my question about Kevin Swanson and his kill all the gays video with Cruz.
One way is to limit who can qualify as a delegate.
It does seem tat if you are out of the country then you are not allowed to vote for these delegates and therefore not everyone has a vote which goes against the talking points out out by the establishment and the elitist party goers.
I never knew they held them in peoples houses either. Nah I am sure a house full of party types have now shenanigans going on.
I agree, but the establishment will never do this.
OK I had to look the guy up , but I did know of a pastor who associated with cruz and said this and wanted to double check first.
The media are going to have a field day with cruz..
He is weak as it is , because the voters minus 4 states have not voted for him.

Even the swing states where the general is decided he has been weak and I know my state of FL will never go for him and if it doe snot then Clinton wins the general.
It seems the establishment and talking heads care more about stopping who the voters want and would rather get their guy in in order to keep their gravy train going.
How do you expect the other 78% of the party to support the 22% candidate your rules give us next time?
My rules?? Did’nt I reply to you up thread that I am would not pretend to be an expert on this topic. I have not layed out any basic primary rules. But, for this year, the primary is already started, and I have adressed that. Stop trying to make it sound like I have layed out some kind of primary strategy, unless stop rigging the system is primary rules now. I thought it was basic common sense.
Too me, stealing is giving the nom to anyone that does not have the highest delegate count.
I foolishly thought that you meant that it should be a rule that the person with the most delegates wins.
Too me, stealing is giving the nom to anyone that does not have the highest delegate count.
Of course I mean that. What you are trying to do is get me to say that someone with only 20% support should be the nominee. That is exactly what the rnc was trying to do with jeb this go round. Why on earth are there 17 candidates in this race? I see you very much don’t want to answer my question to you.
LOL, it is one of the things that happened when the Colorado party switched to the primary system back in 1988. That is why the locals here who have lived through the party strong arm tactics are so against a primary system.
Did you know that there is already calls by some state legislators to re-institute the primary system? An OPEN primary system, where anyone can decide who is going to be the Republican nominee. NO THANK YOU.
The last election 4 years ago I was against the open primaries and still am.
We probably disagree on how this issue can be better served to the voters, but I would still go with a closed primary.
Just my opinion, not that the establishment would ever listen to me.
Ah so he didn’t say it. Then it’s worthless.

Then why don’t we set it up for him to shake hands with a hooded KKK member as well? Since it’s not him in the KKK hood, it won’t matter right?
correct. Just like it doesn’t matter that Trump didn’t renounce david duke’s endorsement and Reverend Wright didn’t hurt Obama.
Rode any turnip wagons lately?
What is has nothing to do with what you believe.
When did David Duke announce Trump on stage and shake his hand? I must have missed that!
psst Trump did renounce David Dukes endorsement. However, David Duke said he had not endorsed Trump, so it was all a put on from the beginning to try to paint Trump as a racist. And you think that video won’t matter. hahahahahahahahaha
You are deluded Dave. In this system some animals are more important than other animals.
The fact that someone can get involved early and try to influence the outcome does not mean it is actually possible.
It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything. Joseph Stalin

You do know that is exactly the way it works in Congress as well don't you?
They may exist but the have zero power or influence.
