Who says who is elite? Weve had our fill of you self-proclaimed betters. Your day of reckoning is coming.

I’ve got a better idea.
Let’s give the Elites no say whatsoever.

Nanzi Pelosi and other fascist elite democrats have been saying for 3+ years to not allow the voters/us to elect the next president. We are not smart enough to elect our next president! Only Nanzi and her fellow elite Democrat fascists are smart enough to select (not vote/select) our next president.

Does letting Ditch choose GOPee Senators and Trump’s AG work well?

So in 2016 the parties would have picked Jeb! and Hillary.
Are you happy with that outcome?
I’m not and would have stayed home.
To: maggief
You have to hand it to the Dems!
In 2016 the WikiLeaks SHOWED the depth and breadth of REAL collusion between the Democrat Party and its brazen propagandists, the MSM.
But still, the channels of control and coordination remain obviously in place, undisturbed.
I can just see in my mind’s eye, the flashing emails and text-messages about “laying the groundwork” for the Convention hijacking that are behind this one.

give them one candidate and one party to make mandatory voting easy

The Washington Post has an official slogan:
"Democracy Dies in Darkness." I don't know WTF that is supposed to mean exactly, but this op-ed pretty much exposes that entire organization as a bunch of comical frauds.

Fine, Azari. How does one become an elite? And how does one become a politician?

Winner!
Dems need to put into practice their opposition to the electoral college by the example of having a one day nationwide primary with the top vote-getter getting the nomination without further ado.

“...It advocates letting the parties pick the candidates.”
Would the Republican party elites of 2015 picked Trump or Bush?

What's wrong with letting the parties pick the candidates and let the people decide who wins? I can't think of a system that would produce worse candidates than we've been getting for the last 20 years or more.With that system there would be no Trump! How awful. Bite your tongue! Who the hell are you? A DU plant?
My God that system would only yield globalists , RINOS and socialists to choose from!

Did they amend the super delegate rules at all? Bloomie can buy them off as old pro says.

Hillary would’ve beaten Jeb in 2016.
