[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]can someone explain to me how in a democracy the dems nominated a person without the actual people voting for her?  It just seems odd from the party that screams democracy will be lost if trump wins but the basic idea of democracy is being altered. [/quote]

Again….(again!) how the party nominates its candidate is not the same thing as whether or not a nation has free and fair elections in which voters can choose between candidates who have been put forward. We can vote for her! Or we can vote for the other guy! Or we can write in someone else entirely! Or we can not vote![/quote]

+1.  How she got there on the ballot is irrelevant. She's on there now. So make your choice[/quote]

It is 100% relevant. No one voted to get her on the ballot. You really think that’s OK?[/quote]

Who cares? She's on the ballot. Deal with it[/quote]

I cannot imagine the cacophony of millions of Dem heads exploding if the Republicans had pulled a move like this.  But for you guys?  Totes cool![/quote]

B.S. You must not recall the heads exploding over whether Obama was actually an American born citizen.  I even think some lawsuits were filed.
For me it was irrelevant because he did get on the ballot, and when I went to vote, I had two choices -- just like we do now[/quote]

Wasn’t he democratically elected to the ballot?  Or did the Dems just say “here’s your candidate!”?[/quote]

I think you need to  familiarize yourself with the nomination process.[/quote]

Enlighten me please[/quote]

The parties decide individually how they want to select their nominees.

Read up on U.S. history.  Focus on presidential elections in the post WWII era.

The ignorance is disappointing. [/quote]

So why do we even have a primary if the party is going to decide regardless of my vote?[/quote]

Do you think another Republican candidate had a shot in the primary with the a trump family owning the RNC? Good grief!  The republican candidate is not a popular choice so how did that "official " primary process work out for you?[/quote]
