"Taking the gloves off, are we?  I'll refrain.  I should note though that your discursion on rights & priviliges sounds like it would be well placed in a constitutional case against a government body, but it's irrelevant here.  The Democratic Party is not a state actor."

My argument of right vs. privilege is at the heart of your claim.  By using the word "disenfranchisement" you have definitionally included rights into the argument.  So assuming you actually believe voting in a primary is a right, you should also be outraged for the millions of independent voters are excluded from the voting process. The charge of hypocrisy doesn't stem solely from this claim but also from how most Hillary supporters were fine with Florida and Michigan losing their delegates until after she had fallen behind and the vote had taken place.

But I understand your dismissal of my argument, I don't know how I would respond either.
