A minor solution to America's election process
#13
RE: A minor solution to America's election process
Yes...well, Bernie certainly was upfront about what he intended for the nation. I will give him that.

But...then, so was Barry.

George Washington warned against developing party systems in his farewell address, so this is a centuries old problem we have been getting ourselves into and not one unforeseen by our Founders.

It appears that whoever wins at the ballot box in our federal and state elections, that the establishment members still exert an inordinate amount of control.
