This is how the Clinton's define "the public interest". And some Democrats wonder why so many people may not vote at all in the Presidential election. Frankly, there may be a chance that the Libertarian party may get more votes than the Republicans and the Democrats which throws the contest into the House of Representatives since no one will have more than 270 votes in the Electoral College. And some people wonder why Sanders shouldn't keep running in the primaries.

Obviously most Progressives prefer Bernie, so if the Superdelegates open their eyes to what's actually happening in the electorate, they will do what they were invented for ... putting up the candidate who by every metric will win the election in the Fall.
Time for them to look towards the future of the Party, instead of alienating everyone under 45 (Independents and Democrats). Opting for a candidate who's under active FBI criminal investigation is, well ... you tell me!

(55,981 posts)corrupt culture of our government. We in the 99% can't survive another 4 years of the status quo. How many more homeless will we see, how many more in poverty, how many of our family members dead or wounded in the Corporatist Wars for Profits, how much un-repairable damage to our environment, how many more get prosecuted and imprisoned in their Prisons For Profits.
We are in the end-game of capitalism as the Capitalists (like the Clinton Family) scramble to reap as much of the gold as they can before the goose dies. Look at Greece and see what's coming.
