Outraged Bernie supporter reveals caucus truth: they're voter suppression

35. It is completely unfair for you to blame Hillary Clinton for the problems

that are BUILT INTO the caucus system. It's designed to limit voter participation and it succeeds.

It isn't Hillary's fault that a minority of states including WA have clung to an outmoded, non-inclusive, non-representative caucus system that hardly anyone participates in (it's record turnout when we get 5%).

It isn't her fault that in my state some rural Dem voters have to drive for 3 hours to vote in a caucus while Rethugs can drop their ballots in the mail -- that's the choice of the Dem leaders in this state who went to court in the 80's to overrule the voter referendum setting up primaries. So the GOP uses state funded primaries now and we're stuck with the caucuses that only 5-6% of voters participate in.

I'm really sick of Dems looking for every excuse they can to blame Hillary for anything bad that happens anywhere.

Including WA state Dems' decision 30 years ago to overturn the referendum the voters passed to use primaries for assigning delegates.

What a crock.
