“It’s unrepresentative of where the American people are. It was fine for the days of the Pony Express, but it’s not necessary to avoid a popular vote on Presidents now.”
Blah. Blah. Blah. Where else, but in Time magazine.
Of course, all Dean does is demonstrate his sheer ignorance of the constitution, representative democracy, and the successful 200+ year process.
But, hey, when you're a nutjob head-of-the-party demagogue, who cares about lil details like that?
And he's not the only democratic socialist to raise the call for total mob rule. In 2004, kalifornia Sen. Dianne Feinstein & Rep. Zoe Lofgren, attempted legislation in congress to abolish the process. Both went nowhere.
Hillary Clinton made the same noises back in 2000.
Yet, there's no call for the democratic socialist party to do away with their own primary delegates in favor of a direct, popular primary vote. That would be, well, too democratic.
But Dean doesn't support the blessed mercy of a single nationwide primary day, either. He knows full well the long, drawn-out primary process has more to do with vetting candidates and wooing delegates -especially those 'super' ones- than swaying popular votes (how undemocratic!... and hypocritical.)
