And I’m tired of hearing about well with independents, Bernie does better. Hey, that’s fine but Bernie’s not running to get elected right now, he’s running for the nomination of the Democratic Party. So yeah it is a big deal that Clinton is winning with Democrats and it is legitimate that parties want voters registered with their party to choose their party’s nominee. I wish there was more parties than just the Dems and Republicans too but when you choose to be independent, that’s a risk you choose.

“The nasty Democratic Establishment won’t let me choose their nominee for them!”

Oh, boo-fucking-hoo. Cry me a river.

I’ve personally lost all patience and sympathy for the plight of the poor ‘independent’ voter. I mean fer chrissakes, the differences between the parties could not be more stark. You may not be happy with the Democrats because they’re not liberal enough for you. Fine. But REGISTERING as one won’t cause you to burst into flames, suddenly compromise everything you ever loved. You’re making a pragmatic decision to help choose who the party will nominate, one of two people who have an actual probability of being elected.
