This thread has a valid point

When a party has a difficult, contested primary, and there are fundamental differences in how the two leading candidates would serve as president of the United States … the people who voted for the runner-up candidate are not obligated to vote for the candidate who wins the party’s nomination in the general election. Not all 100 percent of them do. It is up to the eventual nominee to win over the voters who didn’t support him/her for nomination.

Get rid of superdelegates!

Superdelegates are human beings who get to have more than one vote—one, as a private citizen and resident of their own home state (or District of Columbia); two, as a superdelegate of the Democratic Party.

This should not be permitted. Continuation of this, from the Democratic Party, is a dishonest policy.

Datalounge

I visited it.

It sounds like there are a lot of older people there. (They are for Hillary Clinton, to a point of cultism, and scared of Bernie Sanders.)

They are not true liberals.

And for anyone who is among the LGBT community wanting to eliminate the Ts, that is demonstrating an “I’ve got mine” hypocrisy following marriage equality now legally recognized throughout the United States.

I not only disagree with any LGBT person wanting to discard the Ts—I am offended by it. If they actually had a legit problem with the Ts, they never should have embraced them with their community. So, they are wanting to unload the Ts for their own perceived comfort and gain.

Hopefully, that never happens.
