JFK is assassinated, then RFK is assassinated and Humpfrey wins with how much of the popular vote? Is that how democracy supposed to work?

@metal-brain saidYou keep getting confused about democracy at large in terms of state and federal elections and the internal leadership selection process of a political party. Even if they decide by the toss of a coin the general electorate still get to choose who gains the office that’s up for election.

Do you know the difference between elected and selected?
That is not democracy. A corrupt loophole was built into the process. Humpfrey got less than 3% of the vote. I do not live in a democracy. Sonhouse thinks he does, but he never did. Votes are just suggestions. If democrats don't steal votes using super delegates during the election they steal them after the primary and republicans have their own loophole built in.
The suggestion the the USA is a democracy is a joke. It never was a democracy.
@metal-brain saidUh… if everyone’s vote counted equally, you’d never have a republican president or senate.
I am not confused at all.

The only reason it happens, is because tiny states with hillbilly redneck crackers get 2 senators and an amazing amount of electorates to do do the voting.
Electorates enjoying the disprortionality of senators per state.
@shavixmir
Each state gets 2 senators. That is proportionate.
I think you mean the representation of population is what is disproportionate in the senate between states. That is only the senate though, not the house.
crimminy, the Democrats have to swallow another bitter pill here.
The reason why Humphrey got stomped is because Democrat George Wallace, running as an independent,
split the ticket. In the end, Wallace took 5 states.
You Democrats remember your buddy, George Wallace, don't you?
"Segregation now, Segregation forever" <---- That would be him
@Metal-Brain, you should perhaps look at the 1972 election. D McGovern took one state. Nixon mopped up.
@earl-of-trumps saidNot Democrats' buddy. He only took 5 in '68, that should tell you.

And that is indeed excluding the house. But it does include the electors who vote for the president.
@shavixmir saidDoesn't British parliament have voting by representation in a similar way?
Yes. That is indeed what I mean.
And that is indeed excluding the house. But it does include the electors who vote for the president.
How is it different than the Humpfrey thing? Humpfrey only got less than 3% of the vote and congress selected him anyway. Parliament cannot fail to represent the vote like that, can they?
@suzianne saidYour god king, racist George Wallace took 5 states, Humphrey only took 13 states, but that's because
Not Democrats' buddy. He only took 5 in '68, that should tell you.
many democrats in Democrat states voted for Wallace, which enabled Nixon to win said state.
Let us not forget, everyone remembered Wallace as the DEMOCRAT governor of Alabama during civil rights.
@shavixmir
Come on shav, tell us how Parliament works. You said you were born in Britain. Didn't you go to school there?
@metal-brain saidNo you’re still confused. It’s a political parties job to put up candidates for election how they choose those candidates is their prerogative it’s up to the general electorate which if those candidates they choose. If you don’t like the way your party chooses its candidates either get involved and change it or change parties.
I am not confused at all.

Didn't you notice I alluded to that from the beginning?
