In today's America I don't see it being impossible, not that that's a good thing
i don't know who has a worse chance of winning, a socialist old kike or a corrupt feminazi
Help me out here guys.
I noticed something. We never get to choose our nominee. I heard some guy from each state decides who gets to be the nominee. And I heard they were picked years ago, like reaaaallly long time ago. That sounds corrupt as shit, if that's the case the polls really don't matter and jeb or Rubio will be our front runner.

Both major political parties of the U.S.—the Democratic Party and the Republican Party—officially nominate their candidate for President at their respective national conventions. Each of these conventions is attended by a number of delegates selected in accordance with the given party's bylaws.
Both parties operate with two types of delegates: pledged and unpledged. The group of unpledged delegates, also known as superdelegates, generally comprising current and former elected officeholders and party leaders, are free to vote for any candidate they wish at the convention. The group of pledged delegates, comprising delegates representing the party committee of each state, are expected to vote in accordance with the rules of their state party.
In recent elections, the eventual nominees were known well before the actual conventions took place. The last time a major party's nominee was not clear before the convention was in 1976, when incumbent president Gerald Ford narrowly defeated Ronald Reagan.
Jesus christ, jeb is gonna be our front runner.

>are expected to vote in accordance with the rules of their state party.
Key word is expected. No one is forcing them to vote for the people that their state voted for.

Yeah I fucking know, I heard these people have been doing this for a long time, they chose mccain and Romney. Think about it, fuck polls, theyll choose the establishment runner. Holy shit there is no democracy. Why the fuck aren't they bound by what their state wants? Literally a old man name tom in Florida just decided Jeb is our front runner. What now? They just ignore ALLLLLLL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOR FUCKING TOM?
THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY WHAT THE FUCK.
I WANT OFF THIS RIDE.

America is not a democracy you dumb shit. it's a republic, desu. democracy is whats ruining this country. "pledge allegiance and to the republic for which it stands". it was never meant to be a democracy. that's why we have an electoral college and a house of representatives; because democracies always destroy themselves.

Be honest guys, is there any chance trump could be on top in the polls in February and still not be the nominee?
>>57338490
In most states you can still register as a Democrat in time for the primaries.
>vote for whoever you want in Democratic primaries
>vote for whoever (Republican, third party, your dog) in general election
hijacking to ask: can somebody please post that pic of the old guy sucking a huge black dick with the bernie logo superimposed? gonna post it in as many facebook groups as possible before i get banned
Do recall this was tried in 2007 as well.
Moderately successful.

Will watch both. Thanks. It's not like I want to stay ignorant, I'd just go to reddit if that were the case.

Tout your love for Teflon Don on social media all evening, guys! The leftists are on suicide watch after the shooters turned out to be an Arab and a woman. You'll regret not wrecking everyone in sight if you don't do it now!

>remember when mccain and Romney were just decided as our nominie?
You mean after months of primaries across the nation, all exhaustively covered and explained by the press, wherein each won enough delegates and superdelegates to confirm the nomination? Yes I remember that.
>>57338237
Good news- you're retarded.
Primaries are run by the political parties themselves. So if you hate them, the solution is to have our big evil activist gubmint step in and create a system for nominating presidential candidates. I'm sure that would go over well on /pol/
>>57339193
your meme is misleading. in a primary, there are delegates who look at who voted for who, as in who registered with which party and who they voted for. delegates; they dont take the other parties votes into account when casting theirs.

>never once says we're a democracy
>democracy is never once mentioned in the declaration of independence or the US constitution
>the founding fathers did everything in their power to keep us from being a democracy
>>57340409
yea, it was to stop 51% of the idiots from ruining everything for everybody. they knew it was too easy for some assholes to fool 51% of the people into giving up their rights. look whats happening now that we have more democracy than ever
>>57339193
i dint reed it write. there is no such thing as a top 2 primary. wtf? you think cali could possibly have 2 democrats wining and no republicans? the primaries are held at separate times so they do not show up on the same ballot. your dumb ass meme is dumb, ass
>>57340884
I think I just took a mandatory redpill.
I took 2 US history classes 2 semesters ago and they never brought this up. How do so many Americans like myself believe we are just a democracy?
And pic related explains a lot of what you said.
