Let's take a trip down memory lane...
Recall back to the year 2000...the month was November. Dumbass and Gore were going at it in perhaps the closest (s)election in US history.
What was the most annoying/shocking thing about that whole enterprise to most Americans? Ahhhh, yes...that Electoral College...
When I was a junior in high school, way back around the time of the Clintonian re-election, I wrote a paper arguing the College should be eliminated as it was retarded and ridiculous.
So, I knew about the College and the chicanery that lied therein.
Welllllllll...I am officially fed up by the delegate bullshit, and the power states are having on a NATIONAL campaign. I argue that we should strip the states and political parties of their rights in all aspects of a Presidential Election campaign. It should be a straight popular vote for every state primary that should be held ONLY during the weekends, with polls staying open a full 12 hours barring a local weather disaster.
Caucuses are total bullshit that requires an unreasonable time commitment that usually only the richer portions of the population can afford to participate in.
I've had enough of individual states fucking with our national election for the leader of our land. I'm also annoyed at the Democratic party for dicking around with the Florida and Michigan states. And even if this means the Big Hill doesn't manage to win, I am in favor of completely sticking it to both states in the convention. Don't even bother allowing both states in. Don't seat their delegates, pretend like the states never existed. If the party is going to "punish" them for fucking with their primary dates, then completely isolate the mother fuckers.
A Good Feeling
