He's not mentioning the biggest flaw of all with primaries,that those who tend to vote in primaries are the father left and farther right of the two parties so we don't end up with moderates nominees

we could have fixed this by having actual civic educational requirements for candidacy aside from only age. we are well past time to evolve our government.

In order to run at all you need 10s of millions worth of backing right out if the gate. it's still oligarchs picking them.

The problem with the party picking the candidates is they are groomed for what the party wants not the people.

There a lot there you can agree with. Our system has a lot of variance in the quality of leaders it produces. The saving grace is we have fixed 4 year terms and midterms where their power can be reduc

The problem is with the unqualified selection of candidates, which are also selected by the oligarchs, not with the Democratic system of selecting candidates.

We certainly have issues, but looking out at the world's current Monarch's which have mostly become dictators I would not want to live those places.
