How can a Democrat support a corptocracy? rhetorical. Authoritarianism http://www.democraticunderground.com/127710250

after years of trying, scientists have discovered a way to cause 2 and 2 to add up to 5. The disheartening point is, it's alarming just now SIMPLE it is to get that result.

turning for Hillary. Power elite (eve in Unions) is one thing. The Rank-and-file is another. My money is still on Bernie. For one thing, I simply do not trust Hillary to keep me social security and medicare out of the hands of her corporate buddies.

Feel the Bern

and want him to win the Primary. I saw a disturbing video about the Super Delegates that Bill Clinton has been collecting on Hillary's behalf. The video hosts said that without Super Delegates, regardless of the huge crowds that Senator Sanders draws, the game is rigged and Clinton will be the nominee.

There must be a way to influence these Super Delegates to back Bernie. This has to focused on now. Does anyone know the process?

Nina Turner, the leading Ohio state Democrat, altered her vote.


On the turnout at Keene State - I've lived in Keene for 5 years and this was the largest turn-out I've seen....Meanwhile, some of the polls I've seen have Sanders and Clinton in a dead heat - that's not the feeling from my 'boots on the ground'.....The turn-out yesterday at Keene State was in the aftermath of TREMENDOUS turnout for Sanders at the JJ dinner at the Manchester, NH Jamboree on 11/29...You can see video coverage of all of these events.

Exponentially greater public enthusiasm for Sanders than the press cares to admit (witness 'inside the beltway' Montgomery County Maryland Thanksgiving Day parade where Sanders supporters far outnumbered those for Clinton)..... union leadership and state party establishment, the MSM are behind the public.

Something will give.

The Superdelegates may pledge their support early. However, in the end--they will always vote the will of the people.

Always.

If Democratic voters picked one candidate, and the SDs decided to go against Democratic voters, the entire party would implode.

No way that would happen.

There is no way to "lock in" a super delegate.

Second, lots and lots of super delegates have changed from their "pledged" vote. For example, John Lewis in 2008 pledged to vote for Clinton. Then his district voted overwhelmingly for Obama. So he voted for Obama.

It is possible for super delegates to override the caucus/primary results, if the popular vote results are close. But it is extremely unlikely they will. Most of them are elected and want to keep their seat. But more to the point, overruling the popular vote is a fantastic way to lose the general election. Pissing off your own voters just before you need them is not a winning strategy.

if we have the votes they risk their own peril by going against our wishes. We win primaries. Then they vote the way we indicate. If they don't we sit out the general.

Like always we just carry on and get the votes. They can posture and say whatever they want before hand. But if they go against our wishes they know we can bring down the party by staying home.

I think relatively uninformed voters are picking up on the implications of this in relation to their impression of the Clinton campaign.

a new 'Tennis Court Oath'.
