One man -one vote would be best served by a popular vote both in primaries and general elections. When the Constitution was cobbled together there were no parties.
    And the whole primary system is fucked and stupid too. It lasts too long, relies too much on private money, and is a distraction. The whole thing, primary-convention-general, should be 3 months, tops. 1 month of primary voting, 1 month of conventions and campaigning, and 1 month of general election voting.

    The whole process can be shrunk and made more cost-effective, while also spurring higher turnout by making it easier for people to vote.

    Oh, and I believe every single Post Office should also serve as a polling station, and you should be able to vote at any Post Office, anywhere, 24/7, for 30 days during the primary and another 30 days for the general.

    If we did that, I guarantee voter turnout would surpass 65%, and the GOP would never win another major race.

    Democrats? Principled?

    Democrats define corrupt and hypocrite.

    So is Nadler lying, stupid a hypocrite or all three in this video? I can't get any lie filled leftist hack to answer this question honestly.

    I wouldn't say liberals, I'd say Conservative Democrats.

    Liberals believe in one person, one vote, even when they were winning elections.

    That's not a fact. It's actually rather stupid and ignorant.

    But yeah, it's really just about the system working for them. If it favored Liberals, they'd be hollering about how the DEEP STATE is doing this to rob the people of Democracy.
    If you were educated, which you obviously are not, you would understand the genius behind the EC. But, because you enjoy being uneducated and uninformed, you will continue to bloviate like an idiot for the rest of your life.

    Well yeah, I mean Liberals as in people to the left of the Republicans. Really, the Democrats are Centrists in terms of the Right to Left spectrum.

That should be a state issue.
    If health care is a right, as Bernie the commie says, then why stop there?
