Little did I know how un-democratic the Democratic party truly is.
At their convention this summer there will be 4,040 Democratic delegates voting to choose which member of their party will be on the 2008 presidential election. However, almost one out of five of those delegates will not have been chosen by any of the state primaries or caucuses. Instead they are various party members, congressmen, and other elected officials called superdelegates. These are assigned by the party to vote for whoever they want.
Hard to call the process Democratic when 20% of the votes don’t come from the people.
