    In fact, the US is pretty unique in terms of how much influence voters have over the process.

    How?

    The primaries are non binding and can be legally rigged because of that…

      Two things:

      • It being legally permissable doesn’t mean that it happens. Just like how the DNC’s argument that if the elections are rigged, it wouldn’t be illegal is not an admission that they rigged it. This statement is made without implying anything, it is a statement about formal logic.
      • Influence is not the same as control.

        Have you ever thought about what a great investment a bridge is?

        There’s one a Brooklyn you may be interested in purchasing.

          Why do you suppose I included this sentence at the end of that bullet point?

          This statement is made without implying anything, it is a statement about formal logic.

          …and why did you, having read that, assume I made that implication anyway?

            Because that makes any statement meaningless…

            Just figured I’d answer first
