Hillary Clinton Supporters Ask: ‘How’d She Lose to This Guy?’
I find it interesting that now that THEIR candidate has lost, some people are complaining about the proportional voting system in the Democratic party and calling for going to a winner-take-all setup.
Keep in mind why proportional representation was instituted to begin with – it was to break the power of the old party machines and give more power to marginalized groups, Hispanics, BLACKS and WOMEN among them.
Watching the way the system worked this time I was proud of our Democratic Party. Sure it was messy, but everybody got their say. Just contrast OUR conventions with the Repugs. Ours are far more inclusive and representative of America.
A lot of mean things have been said by both sides about the two candidates in this race. Everybody needs to take a break and cool down. By dredging up these old grievances and rehashing them over and over, some of the people here are not facilitating what should be done – to mend the fissures in our party and UNITE TO DEFEAT JOHN McCAIN IN NOVEMBER!
