I'm not surprised at this in the slightest. Even if it was an honest mistake, which I doubt, the party only telling one campaign about the issue is pretty awful. Bad enough that the electoral college actually picks the president in the end, thereby making the public's vote potentially irrelevant, now it seems the insiders won't even let the public pick the damn candidate we don't get to vote for. I'm sure they have our best interests at heart. The democratic party officials seem determined to get Clinton on the ticket in any way possible. Until recently, the republicans were running all possible scenarios to prevent the popular vote leader from being nominated, only to give in after realizing pushing the issue would destroy the party. I'm really sick of the whole fucking circus. We don't really get to vote for president, now we can't pick the candidate, so I guess we better just calm down and let Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, General Dynamics, and the rest of the corporate world pick for us.
 
As I mentioned in a previous post: Sanders is a side-show and always has been. The democrat elites have chosen HRC, period. The super-delegates will see to that. The democrats don't want democracy, they don't want change, they want things to remain the same as they have always been, beholden to their corporate and Wall Street masters. It doesn't matter if HRC is a cheater and a liar, she has curried enough political favor amongst the people that really matter.

The republicans don't have a choice now. They tried like hell to keep the status-quo, but couldn't do it. It happened the only way it could, with lots and lots of money and rhetoric spewed by a boisterous blow hard.

The Republican Party is in shambles at this point, and rightfully so. That's fine too. Sometimes you have to tear something down in order to set it right again.

It will take losing the election for democrats to set their party right. If they do win, the system will continue the way it always has.
 
The GOP is in shambles because their voter base is stupid, angry and lazy. The GOP is in shambles because it worships at the altar of Sarah Palin and Sean Hannity. The GOP is in shambles because it hasn't crafted a piece of meaningful legislation in 30 years.

The GOP would give its big toe to have a candidate as qualified as Bernie Sanders...instead you get a never ending parade of Bobby Jindals.
 
I would love to see an election year where the parties put on their typical song and dance but where no voters show up. No one goes to a rally, no one watches the debates, no one votes in the primaries, no one puts a bumper sticker on their car. The news media can only interview the pundits about where the American public is, in this an important election cycle, and speculate why Amazon has sold so many pitchforks, torches, coal tar, and feathers.
