The US system of presidential primaries is contrary to democratic values

No were did I state that I was talking about super delegates. So the Con is really confused here. It doesn't say just Democrats. Its says "Democratic values" and this is for both parties, not just the Democrats. In the second part you state: Second he brought up how Mexicans can't vote, because of language issues, but he has provided no evidence to back up his claim and he does not need a translator, if he has a ballot that is in spanish. I would like to focus in on this part mainly because that seems like a racist remark. I'm not spanish but I know people who are "he does not need a translator, if he has a ballot that is in spanish." And plus you think that they are going to have spanish ballot really. My friends Dad is spanish and they didn't have a Spanish Ballot for him he got turned down. Also Super Delegates work for the people's interests, why because they are smarter than us, and were voted to look out for us. Take Jimmy Carter for instance, he has started Habitat for humanity and he is super Delegates. Thought you said we were talking about super delegates but on that case it brings me back to my first post. super delegates can change there vote whenever and for whoever they want to regardless of what people want. Yes your right it would destroy the party that goes against the democratic values. just proved you work again According to:www.classroomhelp.com Federalism is not defined anywhere so this is relevant to today's debate. Con. 4 Equal opportunity for everyone I just proved this work to with the mexicans Con. 5 before primaries Before primaries, presidential nominees, were picked by the convention, by themselves, meaning the people really, did not have a say on how will be the nominee. Primaries give the candidates a chance to battle it out for the seat, rather than just be nominated. This is the best way for everyone voice to be heard, for the people. Primaries work because it gives the people a voice to be heard in the system. By the people having a voice, it really is giving a voice to who will be picked, thus it is an important part of democratic values. THis whole argument is off topic. The tag for the contention gives it away. BEFORE PRIMARIES . Sense the resolution states :The US system of presidential primaries is contrary to democratic values. We are not talking about the before we are talking about during. So this must be disregard Con.6 Front Loading is good Here is to reasons why front loading is bad 1) The Primaries will turn into "American Idol - The President" - A larger portion of Americans care less about the important issues we all face. Further more many people like I, feel the responsibility to participate by voting, but are sick of the campaign already, and are not taking a close look at what is going on. As a result both parties may end up with nominees that may in fact be un-electable. There may be empty suits or have a closet full of skeletons, but it is quite possible that enough delegates will be assigned early enough that no one gets property examined. 2) The Campaign will drag on F O R E V E R - It has already gone on far too long, and we are likely to see a huge flurry of activity early in the year, followed by the front runners taking pot shots at each other for months and months. The only hope that I have for this idiotic front loading is that it will happen so rapidly, with so little consideration of the candidates and what kind of president they would make, that no one will have enough delegates to be the nominee on the first convention vote. I can't say to better myself:"If your not cheating, your not trying" So if you want a cheating to win this round please vote the NEG. But if you want a true-hearted american boy. Please, Vote AFF, Vote AMERICA
