Given their choices, small wonder.

So you support taxation without representation.

American Fascism at work.

If that means proportional representation, I'm all in for that.

When they passed the amendment electing the POTUS by popular vote they neglected to abolish the Electoral College. That would be a move in the right direction. In the parliamentary system members of a party elect their leader. This person becomes the Prime Minister if that party receives the majority of votes. The Prime Minister gets to chose his/her cabinet without any of that advise & consent BS.

So the two parties sets the rules for the primaries at tax payers expense.

Enjoy your smug taunting while you can.

It's not going to work so well for you during the general election campaign when you have to go to those same independent voters with your hat in your hand and ask them to vote for the candidate that you selected without their input.

Demopocalypse: Jon Stewart Comes Out of Retirement

http://www.downvids.net/demopocalyps...nt-813527.html

It's a rather long video, all factually true, run length is 18:30 minutes. Hope everyone watches this.

Six parties in California set their rules.

Dems, Libertarians and AI's allow NPP crossover voters while Greens, Repubs and P&F's don't.

Don't like it? Join the party of your choice and change the party rules.
