dems suck

...

You can criticize MY candidate, but I can't criticize YOUR candidate.

YOUR candidate is playing by the established rule, MY candidate is losing, so I am going to whine about those rules.

etc

THIS has become a problem within parties and across parties.

TRUMP IS GOD WHY ARE YOU PICKING ON HIM!!!!

TOTALLY DIFFERENT WHEN I PICKED ON OBUMMER!!!!!!

and in this modern day, instant pace, there is no time for cooling down or introspection, KABOOM

I remember (GET OFF MY LAWN), back in 2008, right after obama won the nomination, a number of hillary backers "commenting" and sounding like they might just stay home.

THE great majority of them went on to happily vote for obama.

IF we thought that 2016 was ugly, 2019-2020 is going to make 2016 look like sunshine and roses.

THE GOP/conservative nutters learned their lesson the HARDWAY with ross perot stealing their votes and helping elect Clinton. THEY joined "parties", fought like enemies in the primaries, and came together in the general election.

Until the dems do that, trump wins easily in 2020.

sucks to be us

proof that we are fucked?

The dems made zero changes to their rules.

We COULD have trivially learned from all the BULLSHIT that the GOP went through in 2016 with 12 million candidates.

And we could have changed everything.

example

TOP TWO vote winners (no caucuses, period)

Become the nominee for pres and VP

TADA

instead of state level primaries on random days,

we could have had 2-4 national primaries, leading up to the convention.

primary one - "the circus"

1200 candidates, universal vote by mail

Ranked voting

IF ONE candidate get 50% +1, we are DONE

the top 10 go on to the next

(debate)

Primary two - "less insane"

10 candidates, universal vote by mail

Ranked voting

IF ONE candidate get 50% +1, we are DONE

the top 3-5 go on to the next

Primary three - "now we are cooking with wood"

10 candidates, universal vote by mail

Ranked voting

IF ONE candidate get 50% +1, we are DONE

the top 2 go on to the next
