I would probably never get to vote if my state was a caucus state (I work nights and weekends).

I think they need to eliminate caucuses.

It's not in WA, where you'd simply vote absentee.

But I'm sure it must be somewhere, as you'd never just make shit up.

And where do we ever have direct democracy when voting for president?

You're always voting for delegates, regardless the system.

The current system in play is designed to help the insider candidate, and those who fall in line with them.

Nothing can change the Democratic Party.

We need a new party for the 99%. It's that simple.
