I think he is beign idealistic. You won't get change, you get a candidate who is least offensive to the most voters. Working to fix the Democratic party is a noble idea, but ultimately you get what the Republicans are giving. Having multiple choices would require each candidate to stand for their principles and not a public opinion poll - at least in theory. The reality is, the current system is not working for the people it is supposed to serve. It is serving the candidates that can raise the most money.

Hartmann's opinion is not the solution, in my opinon and probably that of many others. If it would work, don't you think it would have been adopted in practice? It isn't.
