    Why are you booing? Oh yeah, right. Because it’s a shallow and superficial take - but still, the boy has a point.

    The Dems have been neglecting democratic process within their own ranks, in effect alienating their constituency - and it has been going on long before Palestine hit the mainstream. The last time the Dems held a primary was in 2008.

    All of this has culminated in a disenfranchised voter base that just doesn’t give af about the dems - and it’s well deserved.



















  • Because it doesn’t matter? It’s the old “a president I’d like to have a beer with” problem.

    You can pretend as much as you’d like that the democratic process is tethered to rationale, but at the end of the day the whole system is set up to be a dog and pony show.

    It’s always been a glorified popularity contest and has nothing to do with meritocracy, i.e judging cases upon the merits and demerits.

    The problem imho is usability. The system has been shaped to be a popularity contest, but it could very well be shaped into something else.
