At what point do we decide that we are no longer a representative form of government?
Bernie felt the burn of the Super-Delegate Aristocracy.
Trump is sitting in the same place Romney was four years ago...but back then there was a decree from on high that we get behind the front runner. Today the Oligarchy is actively attempting to steal the nomination and give it to Kasich, who needs 101.5% of the remaining delegates to reach 1237...or Romney, who we didn't even want four years ago.
So, when do we come to the conclusion that we live in an aristocratic oligarchy where the people don't actually have a say in leadership? That the Aristocracy gives us the illusion of choice, but have in fact rigged the game in such a way that they always anoint THEIR chosen winners.
