So let me get this straight: when the Florida election was settled by the courts, it was undemocratic and a shame to the nation, but if the Democratic Party wants to determine a candidate via back room deals at a party convention, this is democracy in action, this is “the job of the convention”, and the democratic process of primaries and caucuses is “just one of the mechanisms involved”?

I’m not a Republican, I’m an independent voter — but it’s things like this that keep me from ever joining the Democratic Party.
