You sound confused, John. That's understandable considering your posts of late.

That is basically what you have been saying all along that Sanders should have been chosen not because he won the most votes but because he was the smartest choice.

Very undemocratic.

Clinton and the DNC cheated.

When you cheat, you should be banned from the competition, just like those Russian athletes that have been banned from the Olympics.

But they got away with it.

For now.

But Karma has a way of catching up to you.

In this case Karma is going to take the form of a Big Orange Man.

I don't respond to your posts any longer since it like a graduate student (me)
debating a kindergartener (you).

Voicing my political opinion is undemocratic? I realize you have difficulty dealing with forcefully expressed opinions which differ from your own but it's what democracy looks like.

You just did.

It appears the urge to insult those with whom you disagree is too powerful for you.
