  However, I think his satire is weakened by mistakenly referring to the Democratic primary as an election that determines whether or not we live in a democracy.  Strictly speaking, the principle of one person, one vote only need be operative in the general election to ensure democracy.  In theory, the parties in a democratic general election could choose candidates in any way they want, including appointment.
  
  Bernie's problem is that he is asking the Democratic party to change its policies and the party is resisting change.  I think the party's position is short-sighted and that it should move instead to capture the large number of citizens who support his socially responsible policies.
