That's what voting is about, but that's not how you set up electoral systems. You don't set up an electoral system to unfairly sway things toward the candidate you prefer. Hopefully you set it up to best represent the choice of the whole electorate, not your personal favorite."Jesus said to them, 'Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you.'"Comment

If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011
Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.

Not really. I'm not asking about how you choose a candidate to support. I'm asking about what you think is a fair way for a party to choose a nominee among multiple potentially viable choices. I'll take the names off of it because, although I thought that would help clarify, it seems to be confusing instead.
New Hypothetical Scenario:
40% vote for Candidate A, 30% would have Candidate B as their second choice, 10% would have Candidate C as their second choice
35% vote for Candidate B, all 35% would have Candidate C as their second choice and they all absolutely abhor Candidate A
25% vote for Candidate C, all 25% would have Candidate B as their second choice and they all absolutely abhor Candidate A
You think Candidate A should win the nomination with 40% support, even though 60% of the electorate hate Candidate A? Or would Candidate B, with 35% support as first choice and 60% support as second choice, be a better representative of the will of the electorate?
BTW, even if ONE candidate get's 49% and the other 51% is split between 5-6 other guys you could still say the majority of people hate that guy and be right--it's a horseshit comment.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

A brokered convention favors everyone expect Bernie, which you can't tell me this isn't about. The DNC and other candidates don't want Sanders as the Nominee, it's clear as they haven't encouraged anyone to drop out. Warren is till polling in the tank, but she's supposed to get the nomination over Sanders because the progressive wing get's more votes that the single moderate candidate? I absolutely guarantee a brokered convention in ANY respect will NOTend with Sanders being the Candidate in the General.
You're not going to get many if any sanders supporters on board with a brokered convention, even if he's behind going into it.If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011
