Hey uh, not to be that guy, but I can’t help but notice that 2 is not in fact 13.2% of 117, and I feel like even just this example should immediately tell everyone the way we do elections is just bad
Seems like at any point they can just unallocate delegates, and a majority of delegate positions are not voted for but just handed to party insiders and current/former elected Democrats.
Meaning of the 117 delegates, only 10 are elected by almost a million people and 107 are just given out to people who pick the incumbent.
This shit makes no sense, there are no actual rules here and it seems like the whole primary process is just up to the state party and at any point their election can be nullified by the DNC.
