The caucus favors the activist, the super delegate favors the privileged, and the winner-take-all primary ignores a substantial portion of the electorate. Finally, we don't elect a President----we elect electors. And, we choose electors with the discredited winner-take-all system. In some cases involving more than two candidates, Congress gets to choose our President. When will we have had enough of this pseudo democracy and make some meaningful reforms?
