Displaying 0 To 0 Of 0 Comments If Superdelegates Weren’t a Fraud, Could they Help the Dems Win the White House? I don’t think Superdelegates are the only problem; I’m not particularly wild about the caucus system, either. The irony is, while Bernie supporters have a lot of valid beefs about the lack of democracy in the primary system, Bernie has done as well if not better in the caucuses than Hillary. What I’m struck by is that there’s no hard and fast rules for picking party candidates, and perhaps there needs to be, but good luck with that. It’d probably require a Constitutional amendment. Primaries weren’t even used much until 1968 apparently, it was mostly all caucuses until then. And then before caucuses, parties simply picked their candidate at the party convention. What I try to tell people mad about how the primaries work is by pointing out that you know, they don’t even have to hold primaries at all, they didn’t until 50 years ago, there’s no rules or requirements to hold primaries. It’s not very democratic, but they really don’t have to do it. They could just pick their candidates at their party conventions. It’d be nice if we could get rid of superdelegates, caucuses and have some sort of standardised primary system. Now, some primaries are open, some are closed, some are winner-take-all, some are proportional. It’s kind of a messy deal that leaves people feeling disenfranchised. » Posted By Haruko Haruhara On May 28, 2016 @ 9:58 am Arkansas Bill Would Provide Tax Credits For Christians Only April Fool’s, I hope! » Posted By Haruko Haruhara On April 1, 2015 @ 11:17 am INcensed: Republicans Surprised That Making Homophobia Legal is Offensive April Fool’s story.

Iraq — 36 million people, 437,000 square miles. How did that Iraq War turn out… ? » Posted By Haruko Haruhara On March 4, 2015 @ 5:24 pm That Bakken oil comes through our town … by train. Spooky.

They flat-out lied. The head of their community services said to a poster today, “Sorry if you felt mislead (sic),” which is a milquetoast way of saying, “Well, OK, we lied …” » Posted By Haruko Haruhara On December 11, 2013 @ 2:21 pm Tea Party Republicans Fit The Mayo Clinic’s Description of Sociopaths The term that I’ve always felt applies to Tea Partiers is “Nihilists.” And what I mean about that is that they are so utterly consumed with rage toward the idea of a black guy in the White House, they will destroy this country in order to destroy him and his “ilk.” They literally would. They don’t care. They just want to destroy Obama and if that means dragging the entire country down, so be it. » Posted By Haruko Haruhara On October 19, 2013 @ 10:35 am Breaking the Back of the Baggers Rememeber the line from the John Lennon song about “if you go around carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, you aren’t going to make it with anyone anyhow?” That can be applied to the Confederate flag. Dead giveaway. Don’t expect me to take you seriously if you go running around with a Confederate flag. » Posted By Haruko Haruhara On October 19, 2013 @ 10:33 am KQuark and I shared an affinity for anime, we both had anime characters in our avatars. This was the show his avatar came from. A wicked satire from Japan that is a lot like South Park.
