    No, I don’t really want to talk about it, because we were talking about how 50 million people just straight up didn’t show up. When two thirds of your voting base just have no idea how the system works and don’t do bare minimum to participate, all that stuff you’re talking about is irrelevant. If people participate, it gets way harder to do all the tricks. So, I guess, the simplest of the tricks is to convince everyone that the system doesn’t work and they should just sit at home since it’s rigged anyway.

      You don’t even understand that the number of voters doesn’t matter when delegate numbers don’t change, it the same thing as the electoral college.

      But you don’t want to talk about that for some reason?

        None of that is set in stone, not even in constitution, it’s just a procedure they have. The number of delegates, the process itself, the way votes are counted can be changed at any point.
        Obviously nobody will ever think of changing anything while most of the voters don’t give a shit about it. If the popular vote will be different from what delegates want to vote for, you will have a case. Last primaries, popular vote showed that Biden is twice more popular than all the other candidates combined, and all that stories about delegates doing whatever is irrelevant, since the result matches popular vote. And all your “well, they’re lying so I don’t play their games” shtick is irrelevant either. You did nothing and you’re all out of ideas.
