I think literally everyone has a gripe except those on the take, and those that never know anything anyway. OWS tried and they beat them into submission for the most part.
But not always because of delegates and super dels. The EC, too.
I live in CT. The DEM candidate usually always wins my state, with or without my vote. If I never voted for the presidential race ever again, it probably wouldn't matter. Only a handful of states really matter right now, the "swing states". Every other race is normally decided well before election day.
You know DEMs will get NY, Cali, CT...and other blue states.
You know Rs will get Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi...and other red states.
The fate of the nation rests on just a few states. Not sure if I like that.
