Regardless of who you support, even if you aren't a Dem
We need election reform. This BULLSHIT about whether the delegates should be counted or not, the primary deals and timetables, the DNC, the superdelegates, and on and on. The voting machines,the hanging chads, the rules, the caucuses versus primaries. The states where delegates are divided proportionally versus the states where are the delegates are given to the winner. Not to mention the outdated Electoral College. It borders on chaos.
Why can't we have a simple system? Isn't democracy supposed to be: one person, one vote? The way things are set up now, the vote of an average citizen is subjected to the whims of others who think they know best. I'm thinking it's teaparty time again. This is NUTS!
