Who works for whom here?

I heard one on the radio not long ago, gloating about how great it is to be coddled by both sides.

Fuck that.

It's exactly the kind of shit that needs to be shown the door. I'm pissed that I didn't take note of who it was, so I could send them a letter and tell them to grow the fuck up, and stop treating this like it's the high school prom. They should be ashamed.

Edit to add: I agree we should be contacting them. Especially to point out who's clearly the far stronger candidate for the GE, based on everything we've learned from the primaries.

Or they can ignore us. I find getting people to like the goals I want is the best way to achieve those goals.

Always a good strategy 🙂

They're not flies, and they're not spoiled children. Why treat them as such?

The SDs who are clearly showing themselves to be part of the problem, and not part of the solution, are the ones that we will have no use for. They need to get with the program, or be shown the door.

should win the nomination. I very much would like that to be Sanders. I don't want the superdelegates to override the will of the people no matter which candidate.

The majority of pledged is just the first step. Then the supers look around and see who really is best for democracy.

Given the way Bernie was totally ignored in the first states that voted and has gained so much since then, requires the supers to consider the momentum and progress being made.

I'm expressing what I think is fair. If Bernie wins the pledged delegate count but the super delegates give the nomination to Clinton, it would be an understatement to say we will be very very upset. Because I'm not a hypocrite I believe that needs to hold true regardless of which candidate I favor.

The supers will be no problem whatsoever if Bernie is ahead.

The count is going to be real close. Really just a few votes separation. This is why the rules incorporate supers.

But if the shoe were on the other foot and H was burning up the election and gaining, I could see how, for the best solution, H would get the super's votes.

But, if Bernie loses, I will no longer consider myself American. I will consider myself a political prisoner.

Who got more votes and delegates in those states?

Who is more likely to attract moderate Republicans?

Who polls better against the freak the GOP nominates?

Those superdelegates who are elected officials need to have the point made clear to them that they will be primaried if they don't honor the will of their constituents ... in the end, they have freedom to cast their vote as they wish ... just make sure they know that we will not forget how they voted.

I don't want to hear one more complaint about us getting super delegates to vote for Bernie. If so few regular citizens won't vote it is the super's responsibility to ensure Bernie gets nominated.
