American democracy in action?

[Fridays Child]

1. That's a shameless mockery of democracy.

3. No it's not shameless at all. If the math for apportioning delegates yields half a delegate....

.....state election laws call for cutting cards, flipping coins, or hand wrestling to determine who gets a full delegate.

You expect maybe they should do a King Solomon split?

5. IT IS SHAMELESS

Caucusing is stupid. They should have voted, in the same manner as they would for election.

8. Maybe you need to stand back and look at the namecalling you employ.

It actually shows you as a little less than .... well, smart.

For your information, CAUCUS is the grassroots of democracy. It is where EVERYONE has the opportunity to have their say! Besides being able to speechify for their candidate, and sway people to their side, they can also present RESOLUTIONS to be voted on, which are then carried to their county convention.

When you vote in a primary, can you run for delegate to your county convention?

I didn't think so.

Time to back off, take a deep breath, and recognize you aren't the only one who decides how a state will handle sorting out candidates.

7. really? HAND wrestling?

ha! no rock paper scissors? that's wild. but you can't split a person in half.

2. and it wasn't even in the casino, LOL

I hate caucuses...but I've said that before

4. This is like seeing sausage being made!

Augh.

6. Cards in Vegas?
