(1,446 posts)Some people feel that arguing against voter suppression and disenfranchisement are "sour grapes" without thinking about the much larger picture and the fight we have against this in the general election. We don't have a leg to stand on in the GE if we refuse to fight to clean up our own house in the primary.

(5,636 posts)Caucuses are fundamentally undemocratic, a system that's geared towards the political class, and gives advantages to those without children, who do not work regular jobs, etc., not towards the public at large, but I would not expect Bernie to object to his victories anymore than I'd expect Hillary to object to hers. The belief that Bernie supporters were somehow discriminated against more than Hillary supporters is not terribly logical since we don't know the make up of the disenfranchised.

(9,522 posts)The bottom line is, it is about democracy and the people's right to vote for their candidate of choice.
As for caucuses being undemocratic, I don't get that argument. I caucused in MN, and there were people who brought their kids. It was a very mixed bag as far as age, etc. Would I prefer a regular election? Absolutely. but it was still a nice experience and people know far enough in advance to make whatever arrangements they need to.
