Yeah! That popular vote thingy is so declasse’!

[EagleUSA]

The America-hating commies cannot win ANYTHING straight-up so they always want to change the rules...move the goal posts...taint the game in THEIR FAVOR....

Tell them to just go away.

...instructed by voters.

i.e. give the rubes lip service.

[rktman]

Say wut? Oh, DUH! I musta forgot that since they’s elite they must be much more smarterer than us blue collar read neck knee ander thalls. Human nature that sooner or later, some assclown knows better than anybody else and sways some fidiots to follow him/her.

I believe that if you pay no Federal income taxes, you should have no vote.

The headline is deceptive. The article doesn't advocate taking voting away. It advocates letting the parties pick the candidates.

It should be apparent to anyone with a brain that the present system for winnowing the field doesn't work (If you define "work" as producing the best candidates).

What's wrong with letting the parties pick the candidates and let the people decide who wins? I can't think of a system that would produce worse candidates than we've been getting for the last 20 years or more.

[Red Badger]

Yes, voting is racist or causes global warming or something..................

Anyone who has won a Grammy or Oscar should get 10 votes, anyone on CNN or MSNBC should be 100, and anyone named Clinton or Obama should be 1000. That’s about what they want.

That did NOT go down well, especially when you saw the article on the web browser on your cellphone (right below the tagline Democracy Dies in Darkness). People on the political Right and Left HATED that article and even Twitter allowed it to trend.

“It’s time to give the elites a bigger say in choosing the president.”

Citing the “rocky start” to the Democratic Party’s presidential primary, Azari suggests that the process of choosing the nominee be taken from the people and returned to the politicians:

The current process is clearly flawed, but what would be better? … A better primary system would empower elites to bargain and make decisions, instructed by voters.

The elite Dems should just follow the advice on my tagline!

[Texas Eagle]

Azari suggests that the process of choosing the nominee be taken from the people and returned to the politicians:

What are you saying, Azari? Politicians aren't people?

And what kind of name is Azari?

[Tench_Coxe]

What happened to the vaunted “popular vote”?

[bk1000]

Who says who is elite? We’ve had our fill of you self-proclaimed betters. Your day of reckoning is coming.

[chris37]

I’ve got a better idea.

Let’s give the Elites no say whatsoever.

[Grampa Dave]

Nanzi Pelosi and other fascist elite democrats have been saying for 3+ years to not allow the voters/us to elect the next president. We are not smart enough to elect our next president!

Only Nanzi and her fellow elite Democrat fascists are smart enough to select (not vote/select) our next president.

[teeman8r]

they really just don’t get it. they really don’t.

[Empire_of_Liberty]

You have to hand it to the Dems!

In 2016 the WikiLeaks SHOWED the depth and breadth of REAL collusion between the Democrat Party and its brazen propagandists, the MSM.

But still, the channels of control and coordination remain obviously in place, undisturbed.

I can just see in my mind’s eye, the flashing emails and text-messages about “laying the groundwork” for the Convention hijacking that are behind this one.

[PIF]

give them one candidate and one party to make mandatory voting easy

[Texas Eagle]

Fine, Azari. How does one become an elite? And how does one become a politician?
