 Its time for a revolt |
c6thplayer1 |
| Quote: | | Sanders won 60 percent of the vote, but thanks to the Democratic Party’s nominating system, he leaves the Granite State with at least 13 delegates while she leaves with at least 15 delegates. |
When we the people no longer have a say in voting system then its time to rise up and revolt. I am totally disgusted with this even though I would never vote for a democrat.
This is a prime example of how corrupt the democratic party is.

| That's how socialism works, though. It's funny that Sanders gets to experience it first hand. |

By the looks of things Sanders may very well win the popular vote but Clinton will be the nominee. If that happens, look for Sanders to run independent which could work out very well except for the fact that the same thing may happen in the GOP with Trump or Cruz running independently.
Can you imagine a 4 party ballot? |

with the electoral college, would it even be possible to elect someone out of the two parties?
It is convoluted enough in a close race... |

The electoral votes are given to whoever has the most votes in the state, not necessarily a majority, so technically a candidate could win with way less than a simple majority in the popular vote but have a landslide in the EC. |

Thats because of the super delegates that our communist party injected into our voting system. |

| I think it's too late for these guys to go independent and get on the ballot in every state. |

I don't follow. The "super delegate" system is a democratic primary construct to help the party favorite to win. The Electoral College is the Founding Fathers' decision to elect the President so that states get a fair say in who they elect. |

I think the republicans have super delegates to that are not bound to vote per popular vote.
Irregardless the democrats have it taking away the voice of the people. |

the GOP's "super delegates" consist of 3 party officials of each state, but each are obligated to vote along with their state, unlike the democrats which number well more than 3 per state and may vote any way they like (very UN-democratic). I think you'll see a revolt among the Sanders voters if this happens, it may not bode well for Hillary in the general election to lose a large percentage of Sander's voters. |

I agree but I just don't know where to, or how to revolt...
This season is sickening.
Eddie brings up a good point of independents getting on most state ballots. could an indy get on the TOP states ballots and if he takes them, could he win?
This system is confusing, but I would rather live here than UK, FRance or Spain etc.
