Our votes mean nothing

Sat., March 19, 2016

One more reason to believe our votes for president mean absolutely nothing. Superdelegates? I guess if you have Democrats getting a super vote in the primaries, the common person has no say in the election process.

Another reason to not trust either party’s establishment. I have been trying to rationalize the Electoral College voting procedure, but I now realize my vote is worthless when another vote means ten times what my vote means.

The same thing will happen if the Republicans try to stop the front-runner from becoming the nominee. The people have chosen the front-runner, not the establishment GOP.
