I'm against all delegates, super or not
Let's have one big ass primary day, where people vote, wait for the results at night and get it over with.

Why should delegates be deciding this thing anyway? Everyone's vote should have the same way.

Whether these primaries should be conducted in Janury, February or April is up to the Democrats to decide.

It's time to get simple around here.

1. One national primary day
would allow only the richest, most connected candidate to win.

NO chance for a relatively poor or unknown candidate to rise up. Just whoever can afford the most commercials.

Campaigns would be run from offices in NY or DC, and not out in the field.

2. Money would be concentrated in CA, NY, TX.
