Under pressure from Bernie Sanders, Democrats poised to change how they pick nominees

38. Caucuses are undemocratic, rotting carcasses....so you were correct. Your spell check is WISE!

They're mob rule by the fittest and most able to endure long stretches in uncomfortable surroundings. They disenfranchise people who actually WORK at "blue collar" and shift worker jobs, they disenfranchise single parents, the elderly, the disabled, the poor who cannot get transport easily, and anyone without the wealth and time to hire babysitters, drive to a caucus site and spend many hours farting around.

They have no place in modern America. Back when everyone farmed and there was no TV or radio, it was a nice excuse for a get-together. Today, they're just stupid. Put your vote on a ballot and drop it in a box. Better still, mail it in, or put it in a special ballot box that is placed in public buildings if you want to save the stamp.

I feel the same way about "town meetings" in New England. They're clique exercises by noxious elites--the working people never get a say.
