Democrats Don't Practice What They Preach

In my opinion, the present Democratic Party is the most contradictory, hypocritical party in the United States. The Democrats profess and preach that they are concerned about fair and equal representation. But under the present Democratic Party rules in selecting a nominee for president, the voice of the people is relegated to a position of secondary consideration. The Democrats give more credence to the delegates and superdelegates in selecting a nominee for president. This system is stacked against the concept of “one person, one vote”. Furthermore, the Democratic Party leaders have adopted this duplicitous superdelegate system for the benefit of a select few, hand picked power brokers who are not elected by the masses. The present system is not fair to the Democratic electorate and has the effect of nullifying the will of the voters.
The present system in selecting a presidential candidate is based upon an antiquated, archaic, obsolete 18th century concept of the electoral college which is not based upon the concept of one person, one vote. Therefore our present system in selecting a president needs to be completely overhauled so that the votes of the American people can truly count.
Dr. Larry Sabato, Director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics and the Robert Kent Gooch Professor of Politics, has a new book titled: “A More Perfect Constitution”. In his new book, Dr. Sabato calls for the enactment of 23 proposals to revitalize our constitution and make America a fairer country. Dr. Sabato further states that we need a new Constitutional Convention to fine tune our constitution. Hopefully progressive thinking people will be able to influence our congressional and state legislators to acknowledge that our Constitution which is an 18th century document is in dire need of revisions, clarity and specificity as we move forward in the 21st century.
