Well, I think that this is an interesting video. It highlights the fact that the “Democrats” aren’t really so democratic after all, and that our political system in this country is not a real democracy. If we want a real democracy, the people have to vote directly, with the National Initiative for Democracy. That’s the only way that we’ll see change, with the people who desire the change enacting it directly, and not through a manipulative politician who was undemocratically elected. Our elected officials have not made any progress on major policy issues for decades, despite all of the promises that they have made during those decades, so why should we trust this latest crop of politicians to enact the change that the People would like to see in the world? There’s an old quote, “You must be the change that you want to see in the world,” spoken by Gandhi. The People, instead of trusting manipulative, undemocratically elected politicians, must take their world and their government into their own hands.

The NI4D is an interesting theory, I just don’t understand how everyone would go out and vote for every law.

The same way is done in California, with initiatives on the ballot.

All names were on the ballot in Florida. Furthermore, the FL primary was changed by the Florida GOP, not the Democrats. And by your definition of democracy, the winner should be the person with the most votes, not pledged delegates. Come August, HRC has a real shot at winning the popular vote.
