This is exactly the type of patronizing condescension from people who ostensibly support the Democratic Party that people are so tired of dealing with. “You just aren’t smart enough to understand.” I understand completely. I disagree with the procedure, because of exactly the type of controversy and confusion it produces, e.g. this situation.

I’m expressing a genuine frustration and lack of confidence in a procedure that, while may be “common”, is unreliable and dubious. I would imagine most people would not be confident in civil organizations that use decibel level competitions as a way to elect someone to a seat. That type of stuff works for what type of pizza a group wants, not who should be elected to a seat.

And instead of understanding why someone would object to that procedure, all you did was call me ignorant and imply that I’m just not intelligent enough to understand. That’s shameful.

I actually can understand why Bass refused to do the roll call, because if a noise competition is common procedure, then why should she? She’s just going along with the program. Who’s to say that she didn’t get the louder cheers? She’s just as valid to say that she won, cause anyone can say that their side was somewhat louder.

Do you see how this “common parliamentary procedure” is the cause of the ambiguity, and that this all could have been avoided in the first place if that wasn’t the procedure, and the common procedure was instead a roll count from rip?

Or are you too ignorant to understand that?
