I actually agree with most, if not all of his critique of the nomination processes employed by the major parties in the US and specifically regard the direct primary as one of the worst legacies of the Progressive Era. I will add that primaries dramatically increase the cost of election campaigns, thereby favoring well financed candidates, especially incumbents. I differ somewhat, though, as to the prescription. I would abolish state-sponsored primaries and all legal mandates regarding the nomination process (leaving party leaders directly accountable for the success of their parties at the polls); but I would also abolish plurality voting, requiring either majority voting in single member constituencies (with runoffs if necessary), or proportional representation in multi-member constituencies small enough to make those elected individually responsible to the voters (those elected should primarily represent their constituents, not their parties). Presidential electors should be chosen statewide using proportional representation and if no candidate gets a majority, the House of Representatives should choose between the top two votegetters (each member having one vote instead of each state delegation). Regardless, there should be no restrictions whatever on independent candidacies (the influence of the parties should be proportional to the public's confidence in them). I absolutely do not think that the national committees should be nominating candidates for Congress (that should be the job of state and local party organizations as it once was).

How can this video be about Trump's impact on Democracy when he hadn't yet been elected at the time the video was made?

Because he would have made an impact even if he had lost. Indeed, he had already made an impact.

His comments at 6:32 about significant anti-immigrant sentiment within the supporters of Bernie Sanders have absolutely no basis in reality whatsoever. I honestly can't imagine what Mr. Shaprio was thinking about when he said that because it is so far from reality.

That has been the case historically though, workers haven't been fans of immigration generally. But Sanders has moved away from being a working class candidate so that no longer applies.

@@Tomsfilipsons So, because it's happened with other (right, NOT left wing) movements in the past, it's okay to just make shit up today? Alright. If that behavior is considered in bounds for a tenured professor today, to just make shit up because it conveniently fits a narrative . . . well, I think there's a much broader cultural and ethical problem here that goes way beyond Trump alone.

@@robertfreitag687 You clearly have no idea what he is talking about. Leftist movements were extremely anti-immigration for most of their history. Look up Chavez's United Farm Workers who actually beat illegal immigrants with bats because they were considered the same as scabs. It's very simple: Increasing the labor supply depresses wages. Period. That is basic economics. When Sanders was asked about "open borders" years ago he replied with dismay "That's a Koch Brothers proposal." It's the forces of global capitalism who want increased immigration. It's the interest of the working class to oppose it.

@@TheZodiacz I do get the sense that the meaning of the word "globalist" has shifted. I've heard enough of his lectures to know that he's critical of the neoliberal economic program, to include efforts to remove any and all barriers to international trade (he specifically addresses offshoring in this lecture).
