Can we have an honest discussion about Superdelegates?

[CoffeeCat]

These delegates are often the kinds of delegates that are called "Superdelegates".

No conscience. No empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way.

But first. We have to bring them to heel.

1. Oh lawd!

I think I just made my current company worry a little by laughing out loud!

2. reading the criticisms of Bernie supporters (AKA voters) who are berating "Superdelegates".....

for behaving in a undemocratic fashion always makes me laugh.

The "Superdelegates" are not sovereigns, they are servants.

7. They are elected at County Conventions. That is where the Supporters have taken a stand.

Supporters are now talking about and discussing the Left turns that Clinton has made since April 2015 and since the delegates were elected at their county conventions. Sanders was already standing Left and they know it. Do the Superdelegates really know where Clinton is standing? When the Conventions comes along, they will have to take a true stand. If they go the wrong way, they need to pay the consequences.

Any Democrats that voted (in 2000) for George W. Bush, especially in Florida, surely were removed swiftly from the Democratic Party. No? IMO, they should have been.

9. Adding this about Superdelegates:

Start about 2:20.

10. Exactly. Servants for...?

When they make their decision, from which they insist they won't waver, several months before their constituency votes, it's quite clear who they are really serving.

3. Seems like the heel is the number of registered voters in down ticket voting this year and

over the coming elections, voting every time to replaced those deceived or voting for lying lemons to take office. Delegates are chosen at the County Conventions of their party.

Superdelegates, voting for tRump, should be the first to go if you are a Republican.

Clinton seems to have made many Left turns since April 2015. If she is nominated and looses, or is elected and moves Right, Superdelegates and Delegates should pay the price demanded by the voters.

4. CoffeeCat - off topic - any updates on IA delegates? Where is the State now, did Bernie improve his

station after Hill delegates didn't show?

5. For DNC convention do the rules get voted on at start

Like they do the RNC? That is how they are going to keep Trump out by having delegates vote on rules before the convention starts. Does the DNC do it same way?(And yes I was not a Dem till this year)

[DhhD]

8. County Conventions: Superdelegates and Delegates tell us how you see the rules of the coming

Democratic Convention. What changes will you accept or propose? Democratic Party leadership has the rules. What are the rules and proposed Party changes that you accept or want to change?

It is my responsibility to see that they are aware that any consequences that we face they will answer to.

For instance in 2010: Did 2012, 2014, 2016 County and/or State Conventions address our Parties failures and what the delegates will be doing about it at the D-Convention this summer?
