Citizens choose leaders through regular elections to make laws and govern for them.

Not in the US.

Citizens vote and party members choose the leaders anyway.

Candidate Ranked in top three (% and votes) Ranked in top five (% and votes) Hannah Pingree 68% (150,572) 77% (171,350) Nirav Shah 55% (122,503) 70% (156,780) Troy Jackson 44% (97,102) 62% (138,975) Shenna Bellows 61% (134,960) 73% (161,921) Angus King III 28% (61,546) 53% (117,215)

The Elites are in charge, the Elite Democrats don't stand for Democracy, but are anti-podal to it. Need to change their name to the Aristocrats

"Maine law gave the state party authority to choose a replacement"

If you don't like that, maybe change the law?

Do you really believe the two parties would ever vote to remove their controls of elections? Both parties wrote and approved the laws that keep them in charge.

If you don't like the laws, you must vote third party to change them.

Nonsense.
Trump is re-writing the laws.
Trump isn't third party.
Trump is a Republican.

Trump is Sui Generis.

He Commandeered the Republican Party and they are like Puppets.

Trump's WILL is the Republican Party Platform and Agenda.

He's very Fuhrer like Actually.

It's kind of Scary to be Honest.

Americans aren't Exceptional.

It Happened Here and we even have our Very Own War of "Civilizations".

Two More Years.
