The issue is this:
People think we live in a democracy.
The poster earlier was correct that Ron Paul supporters will come out looking like we've stolen delegates—this is how it will be portrayed. This will be the narrative. Rachel Maddow intimated this already.
We've been conditioned taught in this country to believe what matters is that we pull a lever for who we want and go home - the popular vote is what matters.
Revealing that this really doesn't matter could be very, very bad. The lazy average american that does not have time (because they have to work so hard to scarpe by with their forever depreciating FRNs) to get involved in the actual process.
My gut is telling me this will be a net negative and an unstoppable movement will roll over us - implementing a direct democratic system. A system where a small, vocal, engaged and educated minority will have NO CHANCE in affecting any change, ever.
Basically I fear this could be one of our last chances to make something happen.
