True, that

I'd be happy if Democrats held closed primaries from now on as well.

Start that third party already. Go on kids, move out and learn to compete in the larger world. Indulgent Democrats are spoiling you.

Democratic Party has no intention of eliminating super delegates;

http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=31&Itemid=74&jumival=20289

Debbie Wasserman Schultz herself accidently spoke the truth about their purpose;

Former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in a February 2016 interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, “Unpledged delegates 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.” This sentiment is in line with what DNC Attorneys argued in a federal court earlier this year that the Democratic Party is well within their rights to “go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way.”

And yet @UncleBuck would have us believe this is democracy at work.

It's time for a third party, if only to show the Democratic Party that they cannot win without listening to the People. In other words, if they ignore the will of the People, the People will ignore them. THAT'S democracy in action.

Of course there is, between establishment Democrats and progressives. A party changing split. Do you deny that?

Yes. You blow it all out of proportion. It's more like a small faction of disappointed Bernie fans.

Why did you add the snide remark at the end of that post? I thought you were a grown man.

Do you deny whining for the last 18 months about Bernie?

And making irrational excuses for losing the primaries?

Did you lose by a point or 2?

Or more like 15%?
