I would perfer if any state that didn't vote for Hillary Clinton was excluded from the Primary contests.

Ah, what a democrat you really are.

Maybe I can help in this argument.

Both systems are highly undemocratic jokes.

I'm just glad my party doesn't use something as insanely braindead and moronic as winner take all. WTA is a complete f**king undemocratic JOKE.

Well, you guys do have caucuses which many argue are undemocratic.

The Republicans don't have any caucuses?

As far as I know, the republicans don't have anything quite like the Iowa system, though.

Just to be fair.

Why do the Democrats have states that one candidate won and the other got more delegates? How is that democratic?
See also, 2000 presidential election.
Not democratic.

Now, compare the 2000 presidential election to rolling a dice.
More democratic.

The US is not a democracy.
If that were true, it would not be our ally. Not that a *perfect* democracy exists anywhere.

The whole "republic" vs. "democracy" thing is a wonderfully hypocritical debate started by conservatives to somehow make certain things (like the 2000 election) seem fair and reasonable.

At the same time, we seem to be exporting "democracy" to Iraq. AHDuke, I'll ask a question, why are we so intent on giving a different country a system which we ourselves supposedly do not believe in?
