I Have Something to Say

So Bernie Sanders is pushing for Super Delegates to choose him at the Democratic Convention, and many people are criticizing him for it, claiming that the Super Delegates he's trying to sway should choose their vote based on the choice made by the people in their states primary/caucus. With that said, most of the Super Delegates from the states Sanders already won have said they are going to vote for Clinton, even though she didn't win the majority of pledged Delegates in those states. Why is it ok for them to side with Clinton, even though she lost those states, but it is wrong for Sanders to try and convince them to choose him at the convention?

Disclaimer. I'm a Republican. But what's happening to Sanders is criminal.

So much for "democracy." Abolish super-delegates and caucuses.

Hillary was the DNC's chosen one for nominee from the get go. In 2008 if it would have been her instead of Biden to point out that obama wasn't a citizen, she could have won then, or at least been VP, in which case the Bengazi thing wouldn't be sending her to prison

@marvin. Hillary is going to destroy your party. She's a cold calculating politician. I know her somewhat well and can tell you, Trump will blow her out. I'm not a huge Trump fan, but she is not good for y'all.

It isn't wrong for either of them. This is an election race. HRC will tie up what's needed - prolly before midnight tonight. Bernie will likely accomplish more with his campaign than he ever is credited. If the DNC is learning anything this year, let's hope it is that the progressive population they claim to represent is well to the left of their candidate. They are wasting millions tryna convince white conservatives to ditch Trump, when they should be mobilizing the Brown and female vote.

I won't rule out the Bern yet - never say never.
Because the elections are a rigged dog and pony show. It's a distraction from the bankers who actually run the world...

Haaha, yeah it doesn't make sense, from day 1 Hilary had like 500 more delegates without a vote being cast...

@Ironhand ... 'My party' has already imploded and is busy apologizing for the racist we're offering.
You're awake and thinking... Stay vigilant

This election has been paid for by Saudi Arabia.

Marvin: About the "brown" and female vote. Hillary has mobilized them, they tended to vote for her not Sanders. Especially blacks. So now Hillary has to mobilize the Sanders supporters who are more white, and younger. Both parties need to pay attention to what young people want, if they hope to survive. I hope next cycle a third party emerges (call it the Liberal Party, or something), and makes both the Republicans and Democrats nervous. Both have held power for far too long, and are a slave to money. It is disgusting.

@JoyfulSilence ... that's the DNC line. Take a look at the number of unregistered brown votes out there. Mind-boggling. If the DNC got those votes to the polls they'd take back congress. But they're busy f'n with blacks like the Senate race in Maryland.

The primaries are not democratic, hence there can be super delegates.

The general election has those damned electoral college votes.
What's happening to Sanders is indeed criminal. Hitlery is the mob boss.
Hitlery for Prison!
