Don't be a hypocrite. You are as anti-capitalist as it gets, yourself. Have no respect for yourself?

It is clear that both parties need to reform their delegate selection process. I think the leaders that come forward with the best solution to the problem will be the next generation of national leaders.Sixstrings wrote:vtsnowedin wrote:Did you notice how the Dems in New York closed registration to their closed party primary last October.

Interesting point, vts, I didn't think about that. Effectively, most likely, quite a few potential Sanders voters couldn't vote because they'd have had to register so far ahead of time.
This is also why two of the Trump kids didn't vote. Ivanka was registered independent, and said NY Republican rules would have required her to change registration a year in advance.

Colorado returning to presidential primary
A bipartisan slate of state lawmakers announced plans Thursday to return to a presidential preference primary for 2020.
Colorado has simply outgrown precinct caucuses for the top office in the nation, lawmakers said. Last month’s caucuses drew complaints from party members in both camps. Democrats complained of long lines; Republicans griped that they weren’t taking a presidential poll.
“We’re going to replace long lines, bad parking and disenfranchising voters with a ballot in your mailbox,” said Rep. Alec Garnett, D-Denver.

Billionaire businessman Charles Koch said in an interview airing Sunday that “it’s possible” another Clinton in the White House could be better than having a Republican president.

Sanders: Clinton team thinks race 'is over. They're wrong'
"I know that the Clinton campaign thinks this campaign is over. They're wrong," Sanders said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from New Albany, Indiana. "Maybe it's over for the insiders and the party establishment but the voters today in Indiana had a different idea."
Sanders said he had no intention to drop out of the race and rejected the notion that his criticism of Clinton's record on issues like trade, campaign finance and the Iraq war would help Trump.
