How is this entire system now a F'ing joke?
Winner takes all = two parties = dumb dumb dumb. This will never change, its a duopoly.
I would rather see representation, that means yes, if there is popular support for a single communist member of (whatever, parliament or whatever it is), that's fine. 3 labor party, 3 blue dogs, 3 conservatives, 3 libertarians, 1 neocon, I'm fine with that, at least it makes ****ing sense. But no, we have to parties and they get to choose by in large. Republicans can sit there and see a huge public support for Trump, then claim Republicans don't want Trump, it's maddening.
Further, those parties want to control the vote anyway. Super delegates for democrats? What? They can shift the vote away from grass roots without batting an eye. Democrats are OK with this? They should be outraged, embarrassed, shocked.
Republicans....oh boy, while they don't have that issue as much as Dems, apparently if this goes contested, they ARE able to also go their own way and ignore public opnion.
Your vote counts, as long as it goes where they want it to.
