Um, talk about day late and a dollar short.... this video is 5 days late actually, but not a bad idea.
I didn't watch...did anyone actually ask the question at the debate? I doubt it, doesn't the DNC screen the questions themselves? They don't want the uninformed masses to understand the system, it makes it much harder for them to rig it.
It is pretty disgusting that the party named "democrats" are so blatantly undemocratic. I expect this kind of disrespect for the voters from the republicans, but the democrats at least usually pretend to respect their voters....not this time.
Please, Bernie, dump them and run as an independent. The two parties are dinosaurs that need to be killed and eaten. THEY are a major problem with our system today, and it would be nice to have a major candidate who's not in either party. I think the country is ready.
How amazing would it be to have a third party president not beholding to either camp OR major donors.

Trump said he'd still run if he didn't get the GOP nod, could you imagine 4 viable candidates running at once? Please God, let this happen!! (I know it wont)

I just don't understand how anyone thinks a multiparty election can work in a 1 person, 1 vote system for 1 office.

Let's say, 60% of the voters lean liberal and you have 2 candidates vying for the liberal vote and 1 for the conservative side. Your liberal candidates split the vote and you get a conservative president that the majority don't want.
Please explain to me how it works out differently in our voting system. If you can't, please stop acting like this is a realistic option. Our system might not be perfect but it's better than the debacle you're proposing.

While we should be outraged by the idea that party leaders know better than the primary voters, Donald Trump is a powerful counter argument. I wouldn't be surprised if Republicans adopt a similar system after this disaster.

One reason it's not yet completely hopeless for Bernie is that superdelegates, even those who say they're "pledged" to one candidate can change their mind at any time. Superdelegates exist to override the will of the people, but the DNC knows that actually doing this would alienate voters.

Moving this video to notarobot's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
