How do democrats feel about the DNC having choose their candidate a YEAR before the primary? Again, this is a HUGE deal.

It's a big deal, but it's over and there is nothing anyone can do about it. I think everyone knows, (unless they live under a rock) that both parties are completely corrupt and the fact that the DNC got caught is nothing unexpected. As long as we have a two party system, this stuff is gonna happen. The entire system is messed up, but nothing is gonna change anytime soon. Personally, I wish we would just abolish political affiliations. No Democrats, no Republicans, no nothing. Candidates just vote on issues based on what they believe. That only happens in my dreams though. The current system will never change. That's why I hate both parties. They pressure their candidates to vote a certain way and if they don't tow the party line, they get undermined and back-stabbed.
