These are not superdelegates
It is not Hillary who has the weak candidacy, it is Bernie. If he is too weak to win against HER, then he damn sure can't beat Trump.
And if he can't beat Trump, then, why in the world would superdelegates switch?
He has shown he can fight democrats, but has he EVER bothered to fight Republicans?They won't treat him with kids gloves like we do, all his baby mama drama, and writings, and connections to any socialist or communist will be blown up, until they have him seeming like Mao. And no number of memes and swarms, or podium birds and posts on reddit, will stop Trump or his supporters from trashing Bernie until he loses. Superdelegates know this.
And with the way us regular Democrats are talked about by Sanders base, our candidate called a straight up criminal, and at times maybe murderer of brown children; which supers are going to be at the convention voting Bernie? Not the establishment democrats. Nor moderates, or conservative dems. Or us confederates or stockholm syndrome victims. Probably not us vagina voters, either, and especially not our Obama coalition members.
Are black women going to stand in those long lines for him in swing states if the superdelegates steal the election for him? Maybe...Though we know how we are treated and talked about by his base, so... Harassed. Doxxed. Bro’d. Yet we are not selfish and privileged enough to withhold our votes and promise to deliver our allies into the hands of the rightwing. We are strong. Superdelegates would not ask us to do that.
We ignant confederates. The south don’t count. We live in the ghetto. Winning us is like winning Guam, Amirite? (All they had to do was apologize and knock it off and they might have gotten many more of us) Apparently we have no value at all unless we live in a state that Bernie won. Superdelegates can read, so, I'm pretty sure they know better than to go against the will of the people who apparently don’t count in some quarters.
He has no chance. He and his crew have shown that they are good at fighting Democrats, unapologetically offending our demographics, and telling us how we need to think. Not once have I seen him and his crew fight the right. Or even fight these memes coming out of his base. Not once.
No, they fawn over Liberty Uni and the Anti abortion, Anti gay pope, parade Cornel West and Killer Mike around, eat some soul food and spam us with MLK quotes, while crying out “SUPERPREDATORS!”
The superdelegates can see all of this stuff. Hell, many are experiencing the same harassment right now. And they are falling in line on MY side, against this nasty rhetoric. No way they even THINK about nullifying the votes of the most reliable group within the democratic base; us black women. We always show up even if we despise the dem we end up voting for. We earned our seat at the table by showing up no matter what.
He should have fired Weaver and Devine (who helped create the superdelegate monster) if he wanted to win. Hired a diverse staff. Not tried to pin his hopes on the idea that same establishment that he rails and rants against day after day, would decide to ignore the will of the voters and install him as our nominee. The very idea is absurd on it's face.
No, Dears. Hillary ain't weak, and the Supers ain't nullifying our votes
