The delegate system thwarts 'the will of the people'. Here are the popular vote totals:
Not counting FLA & MI (which is, of course, thwarting the will of THOSE people):
Obama 12,999,088 Clinton 12,410,650
Vote totals including FLA & MI:
Obama 13,575,302 Clinton 13,609,94
It is a squeaker, but Clinton caught up & surpassed Obama this week in the popular vote.
Now, the Obamamaniacs say you can't count FLA & MI. I say, if people go to all the work to get off the couch, go out the door, get to their polling station and cast a vote, you should count their god damn vote, regardless of the party shenanigans.
The most undemocratic thing thwarting the will of the people is the corporate duopoly.
