No, not really. But one histrionic, illustrated account of a meaningless personal gesture deserves another, and Will Bunch’s “I burned my Democratic voter registration card today” is a dramatic chipmunk of a post: [A]s a concerned citizen and a progressive independent voter, I’d love to see an open convention and an honest debate about the …
