I suppose that's an important distinction. I often just assume they are a part of the Democratic process.
It's obvious kasich is your next president, but if trump were nominated I would hope it caused a schism in the gop and they formed a new sane wing headed by fiscal conservatives and social liberals, that would bring together Reagan democrats and non religious republicans
parties are indeed democracies when it comes to the nomination of their candidate for president....if Trump is way ahead and has not reached 1237 and they have a brokered convention and put someone else in the general, the party will be dissolved...end of story so yes you can choose to not be a democracy, but your party will be dead soon after
I agree 100 %, that is exactly the party I would love to see form. Republicans are generally staunchly retarded.
They clearly are not democracies. They have kooky systems for deciding how many delegates a state has, which has nothing to do with population, and superdelegates that do whatever. It's not democratic at all, nor should it be. It should be whatever they want.
Well yeah you just described the Democrat wing of the nomination process. Bernie lost before the damn thing even started. Wtf? So I agree with you that they are indeed not necessarily democracies. The people can change that, however. They just choose not to.
Republicans give more delegates to states that vote republican as well, it has nothing to with population. Votes are not valued equally because they don't care and they are not trying to have a democratic vote, they are trying to pick who the party brass wants. like my fantasy league, they can just make any rule they want and They have nothing to do with the government. My hope is that they just change the rules and say trump loses.
