in my opinion, in a successful democracy, these primaries/caucus times should be looked at as a "season" not a "race".
i don't know what it is technically called, but it's a thought i'm trying to type out.
why the race to a number?
in order to believe a government has our best interest at mind, individually and collectively:
why should not every state and territory have EQUAL opportunity to vote?
then compare test scores at the end and elect accordingly.
to me, that is what democracy looks like.
played out more often rather than sprinting to "magical number 666.6" or something i can make sense of what the founding fathers envisioned.
this is the first time i've seen the process played this far out and it's quite interesting.
as we've seen this season, the rules could use a 21st clean up.
we're still flipping coins for delegates in some places. really though.
well that and getting big money out of politics. again.
i'm going to quit rambling now.
be free fellow earthlings.
