I've always believed in American democracy, but what is playing out now on the political scene of our country is disgusting.
Both major political parties have rigged the system so that our votes don't count. The Democrats assign hundreds of freelance delegates who have no obligation to vote for a presidential candidate just because he or she gets the most votes. The Republicans, like the Democrats, allow individual states to determine how their delegates will be chosen. In Colorado, for example, members of the Republican party were given no opportunity to express their wishes as to who the candidate should be.
The ability for either party to change the rules in the middle of the process is also absurd. In fact, either party hierarchy has the ability to manipulate the selection of the party's nominee, thereby ignoring the wishes of the electorate altogether.
And WE allow this to happen?
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
