This saddens me:

"The situation is as the situation is. We have yet again failed to repair our Presidential electoral process, and so are left with a system that heavily favors money and is nearly impervious to underdogs. In the Democratic primaries, if your candidate can't get over 15% in your state, your vote is effectively discarded; in the general, in all but a couple states, if your candidate doesn't win a plurality of the votes in your state, your vote is effectively discarded. Them's the facts."

What you have just said is this: I.Give.Up.

You wail about all these changes being needed, yet you PERPETUATE the same system you decry! These changes you long for will never happen if you continue to play by the stacked rules. To say you really wish people would be kind to each other while hitting your neighbor with a (pre-approved and long-standing politically approved) brick does not make for a real persuasive argument.

If you believe in what you say, you need to act. Otherwise, it's all just empty rhetoric. People do that here all the time - they get recommended to the Greatest Page.

Whopee.
