    It’s almost as if there’s a difference between election fraud and playing dirty with selecting your own party’s nominee.

    They’re both dirty, but ones not illegal in any way, shape, or form

      Giving your constituents the illusion that their voice matters is a fraud

        The existence of superdelegates was entirely public information long before that. It doesn’t make it not shitty, but its not fraud.

          I’m not talking anything about superdelegates, which is undemocratic, I’m talking about them arguing in court that they are a private corporation that do not have to follow their own rules or bylaws and that voters should not have any expectation of who they will select to be their primary candidate

            Again, it’s shitty, but not illegal. Not sure what else to tell you bud.

            Except they are a private corporation. So is the RNC. We don’t have any government ran or government supported political parties. It’s not illegal to run for any political position without being affiliated with the DNC or RNC, but without them, one simply wouldn’t gain enough traction.

              Because voters are more concerned about being on a winning team then they care about doing what’s right. The party thats FPTP can be changed based on votes, it doesn’t have to be either right wing party.
