@no1marauder saidI didn’t vote for democrats this time around, but seeing the disarray is a travesty, and how people lost their constitutional rights is a shame.
Your whole premise is a lie. You are pretending to care about "democracy" (HINT: our way of selecting a President isn't actually "democratic"😉 when all you really care about is getting Trump elected. And you keep lying when you claim the "rules are being changed" when these are the same rules the Democratic Party has had since at least 1980.
He said he'd address the na ...[text shortened]... t the convention by delegates selected at State primaries and caucuses like will be done next month.
@KellyJay saidWhat do you think happens when you vote in a primary?
Yes they take away peoples right to vote in the primary and they just accept it as if it’s normal. I am sure when they tell you who they want you will fall in line there too.
Do you think you actually vote for the candidate?
Take a government class or something. Oh, my God.
@KellyJay saidNo one lost any constitutional rights.

Won't be able to say that for long if Trump wins in November.
@KellyJay saidYou are absolutely wrong.
~14 Million voted for Biden in the primary and now who they voted for is not going to matter. That had nothing to do with anything Republicans said or did, Joe’s dear John letter ended that and he was telling everyone he was in it to win but no more.
But I'm not surprised.
@Metal-Brain saidNo I don't.
You let polls determine who you vote for.
And if you do, you're stupid.
@Metal-Brain saidThe conventions have always worked this way. The majority of those who vote choose the winner.
No. Is does not always work that way and furthermore you already know it works that way. You have complained about it in the past and you don't even know it. And your complaint was about the electoral college which is nowhere nearly as bad as this.
Explain to me how Hubert Humphrey got elected in 1968 to get the democrat nomination? Was it a majority vote?
Learn how y ...[text shortened]... are an indication of desperation to hold onto power. They seem to be accompanied by assassinations.
The electoral college is far worse.
One person, one vote, is the only way to freedom.

@Suzianne saidConventions work that way ONLY when someone who won the nomination drops out of the race. And when the delegates vote instead they are a very small minority of people contrary to democracy.

.....but Trump is a threat to democracy.
@Metal-Brain saidThat is why I stopped voting 3rd party. 3rd party votes mean nothing, unless your only purpose for voting 3rd party is to deny others. I choose to vote for who I want to win. Voting to deny others is childish and egotistical. If you're going to approach life in an immoral manner, you might as well be a serial killer. Have fun with that.
I don't. I vote 3rd party. Nobody can say I do.
Did you ever blame Ralph Nader for GW Bush winning in 2000?
@Metal-Brain saidWhat utter bull hockey.

Here, learn something.
Tell me what happened at the 1924 Democratic Convention.
You don't have to be so damned ignorant.

Because you let the polls determine that. I was right about you.
@KellyJay saidWill you please learn how primary elections work? Please?
Yes they take away peoples right to vote in the primary and they just accept it as if it’s normal. I am sure when they tell you who they want you will fall in line there too.
