I'm not sticking up for Bernie, but rather, I'm sticking up for Democracy. The Democrats routinely make a mockery of our Democratic processes. And btw, Bernie is winning the popular vote against all other candidates. That is a true reflection of his support. And I guarantee you, Bernie has zero Republican supporters. I personally think his brand of politics, this Socialism and Communism, and promising free shit to everyone, is the epitome of how you destroy countries. So on the one hand, I sincerely hope he does not win the nomination and that his ideology gets destroyed in the cultural marketplace, but on the other hand, I can't help but notice how un-Democratic the Democrats are in their nomination processes. Now let's compare to what the Republicans did. No one in the establishment wanted Trump to win. Their preferred candidates were Bush, Cruz, or Rubio. No one thought Trump had a chance, but when he started to win, the RNC didn't change the rules and they didn't cheat to make sure he didn't win. They just let the nomination process work as intended to preserve the credibility of the RNC and their integrity when it comes to elections. It turns out the process worked, because it allowed the people to select the man who would have what it took to win the Presidency. Could any other Republican at that time have beaten Hillary? I very sincerely doubt it. Everyone thought Hillary would be the next President, including me. I very clearly remember watching the votes come in all night long and being utterly amazed that Trump was winning. And then I celebrated like no one's business when he won in a landslide. That's Democracy for you...against all odds, he won, and he keeps winning. The RNC very clearly demonstrated their commitment to Democracy in safeguarding the process. The DNC has done exactly the opposite. They have proven they will lie, steal, and cheat to gain power in our country. That is a shame. We only have two parties and one of them, the DNC, is Communist and has Totalitarian tendencies.
