One Person, One Vote, One President, Senator, Congressperson, etc. etc. etc. - WTF is so hard
Looking back at the debacle of the 2016 election - where the USA looked like a banana republic in the eyes or the world where the person that got the most votes lost to the one that received the second most, by a 2.8 million plus vote difference, here we are all over again where the machinations of party politics (and stupidity) somehow decide that the person who got the most votes, still manages to lose in the antiquated caucus process (much like the electoral college).
It's 2020 already. Get rid of the pointy headed party hacks that keep trying to retain control of the masses because they've anointed themselves as knowing better than the people what is wanted or needed. After the embarrassment in Iowa on Tuesday, and the still ongoing drama of who has captured the SDE's - which sounds more like some form of STD to most people, it's clear that when you make the process so convoluted you will lose people in the near and long term.
And now you've got candidates that are thousands of votes apart - and, wait for it - another legendary face plant by the Democratic Party still attempting to figure out "who won?". The first major opportunity to highlight our candidates and give the country a first view of voter preference (albeit from a non-representative state as far as national demographics go), and instead we get people tripping all over themselves to insist "the process worked just fine." Yup, it sure did if what you mean is "let the people have their say", and then we will use some form of divination to really determine the results.
Just like Super Delegates, we always seem to have to have some backstop on the average guy or gal, because what do they know.
Enough already, as with 1992 - It's the Economy, Stupid, hard to believe in 2020 we can't KISS (Keep it Simple, Stupid).
Yes, One Person, One Vote, One President does have a familiar lilt to a 1930's slogan from Germany, but the former is the basis of democracy and the latter merely a mad man seeking legitimacy much like the current occupant in the WH who knows he didn't win the popular vote or "will of the people".
