Why is the Democratic Party against the only person who could save them?

[Thumpalumpacus]

The problem now is the democratic party is nothing worth unifying under it's not worth anyone's time same goes for the  republicans.
We need a overhaul of the electoral system so that we as united states citizens can vote someone in we like rather than get a repeat of last years election.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. As much as I think Dyresand's political opinions are rarely worth a pisshole drilled in a snowbank, I do agree with him that the electoral process needs overhaul. Twice now in the last two decades we've seen a president installed who did not win a simple majority of the vote. Although the Electoral College does not now play the buffer role envisioned when the Constitution was written, it still performs the same function, of undermining the power of the individual vote.

This needs to change.

And yes, I know it has the snowball's chance in hell. /.02

Bottom line is, until we abandon this idea that we only have two choices ... we'll only have two choices. And they're both bought and paid-for.

Excuse me but the republicunts were given 17 choices.... and they picked the craziest motherfucker of the lot.

I was speaking in terms of the general elections, and not the primaries, as I'm sure you understood, and ignored.

The voters had choices too. One choice is to abjure both the parties for being beholden to Big Money™. They didn't, they haven't, and nothing will change until they do.
