Let's put it this way...... Berie may win the popular vote, but Hitlery could steal the delegates and take the nomination away from him regardless of his support. It's the delegates who vote the nominee..... for whoever won (or stoled) most of them That's the trick the repulsicons used to stop Ron Paul. Google it! The repulisicon elites illegally shut down and closed conventions and did a myriad of other dirty tricks to award his delegates to Romney when he won the conventions. It is a matter that can still be googled to prove my point on "dirty tricks" to win the nomination..... it's what Hitlery is doing to Bernie right now She can't win the nomination of her party any other way! Trump may have his stolen too as RP did to get the establishment repulsicon (like Bush or Rubio) the nomination The party elites (like Karl Rove and Rince the political pervert) control the conventions and writes the rules! That's why a 2 party system is corrupt at its core! Has nothing to do with what the people want..... unless they (the delegates) become "unbound" by contested vote! |

Not ... and she has a lot of people holding her pretty high with the supers to ... how will they get Trump out ... he has to have so many super delegates for him ... right ... but have not heard of any yet ... and their talking about her emails only becouse they do not want to talk about what will happen if she does win the Presidency ... and those that know politics should already know what I am talking about ... ok starts with three letters lmao + some ... |

Reality Check: After Being Trounced By Sanders in NH, Clinton Still Wins More Delegates Thanks to DNC Insiders
Hillary Clinton was trounced in the New Hampshire Primary and yet thanks to the way the DNC rules work, she actually won the most delegates. Is the primary system a huge scam? http://truthinmedia.com/bernie-sanders-new-hampshire-hillary-clinton-delegates/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=nl DNC Chair: Superdelegates Exist to Protect Party Leaders from Grassroots Competition Democratic National Committee chair and Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said on Thursday that superdelegates "exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don’t have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists." http://truthinmedia.com/dnc-chair-superdelegates-protect-party-leaders-from-grassroots-competition/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=nl |

That's the trick the repulsicons used to stop Ron Paul. Google it! Meanwhile, back in this universe . . . Democratic National Committee chair and Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz explained the motive behind the Democratic Party’s appointment of unpledged delegates, also called “superdelegates,” who are former party leaders and elected officials who are allowed to ignore the outcome of primary elections’ popular vote totals and instead vote for the presidential candidate of their personal choice at the party’s nominating convention. |

Sojourning: I agree with some of what you say, but I take issue with what seems to be a declaration that the Two Party system is what is to blame for this particular bit of corruption.
It isn't. Each party makes it's own rules up, and controls which dirty tricks they will allow their members to play on each other. Even if we had a dozen or more parties, they could (and probably would, given the nature of people vis a vis power) ALL be just as corrupt at the Big Two. |

Even if we had a dozen or more parties, they could (and probably would, given the nature of people vis a vis power) ALL be just as corrupt at the Big Two. How many people really know their are other parties offered for consideration? I mean really! People may know there are other parties but where are their nationally covered, televised debates for viewing to the public? Without promotion they struggle to get funding or backing, much less acknowledgement for consideration to the voting public. Where is their 6, 8, 10 primetime televised debates? Their matched funding? Their national convention? The 2 parties write the election rules, set the criteria. There are fees to advertise, register in each of the 50 states, campaign HQs, travel fees and venue fees. If you don't run on a Dem or Rep ticket there isn't a snowballs chance in hell for promotion..... and outsiders are NEVER welcome! More power to The Bern for his challenge to the Queen. To bad he must lie and promise what he can never deliver to be given that chance! Citizens united nipped that in the bud quite well. Add the inability to compete with the cost of TV ads in the media and you have a rigged system! I'm neither Dem or Rep, each has a mouthfull of rhetoric to offer with usually the same results when elected..... which is very little action on any front because to them it about winning and control, not results. But the 2 parties have taken control, pretty much, of the media, the candidates they allow as choice by simply denying coverage, a place on the "main" debate stage, or harping on a non issue on one candidate with a spin favoring another candidate of their choice. Corporations are NOT people, only made up of them, and citizens united was the biggest power grab to our electoral system with the worst possible outcome ever to come from the SCOTUS! On this I can agree with the Bern, but I doubt he will, or can, do much to change it! Any media source not controlled or influenced by either of the 2 parties is hammered to the public as "fringe". In that kind of control where is their voice to find a vehicle to challenge or counter any accusations? The system is not just basically rigged, it is TOTALLY rigged! |

You should add to your list, the biggest problem of all:
since the people who wrote the Constitution made it a very general document, when it came to the STRUCTURE of the government, and completely left out, all the detailed mechanisms that are required to perform the very GENERAL duties and tasks it does mention... ... the first few groups who ran the country (our too-often-deified forefathers) constructed a Two Party system, and built it directly into the entire federal government. Even if all the parties DID get full attention from the media, and people started electing multiple members to the Congress, the same thing would happen which happened with the Tea Party: one or the other two parties, will bribe them in to voting as though they ARE members of one of the two, and we're right back where we started again. |
