For context, it's the elite media types who are pushing for some sort of contested convention — not the bulk of the Democratic voters.

I can see how the blue no matter who crowd justifies reallocating peoples votes, but I dont see how it is acceptable to do in a so called democracy.

    If y'all's voting system wasn't so fucked up maybe you'd have more than two viable political parties, and maybe then the primary process wouldn't be so important.

    Here where I live the candidate list is generally selected completely by party insiders, but it doesn't matter so much because I have a choice of 15+ viable parties in parliament to choose from.
