Super-delegates vote like a state does with a caucus contest

The superdelegate contest is just like a state caucus. We all know that the WA state caucus doesn't have to follow what the Caucus did in Iowa, the superdelegates DO NOT have to follow how other states have voted.

The superdelegate caucus is a tiny election with just 700 people, and they are free to vote any which way they see fit, just like people do at a statewide caucus.

Yes, this means what you think it means. The last contest in the primary season is not DC its the super delegate vote at the convention.


This begs another question, should 700 people be worth 700 delegates?
CA with 40 million people only has 450 delegates.

We pay politicians to manage our money, and they give it away to the rich

It our tax dollars that we pay politicians to manage.
Its our sovereign currency that we pay politicians to print.

Since the US has run a deficit for decades, what's the difference between printing 500 billion for the deficit or 600 billion. We should all have a say on what we spend printed money on.

Why are we paying politicians to enrich themselves, and to impose austerity on the rest of us?

Democrats have gotten away with blood hell for decades, No More.

For example with did it take Obama 7.5 years to increase overtime rules? Notice he did not need republicans to change OT rules. So then, why was he so damn selfish, why did it take Obama so long to help the hardworking and poorest American workers?

There is no excuse for horrible schools, expensive medical costs, and crappy paying jobs.


We pay politicians 175,000 to manage the country, and they are punishing us with starvation wages, while they favor the rich.

There are only a few more weeks left, why not let CA vote?

We are almost at the end of the primary process. Less than one month. Why the pressure to drop out now?

Is the Democratic party taunting Bernie to run as an Independent?

It's very clear that they hate him, they despise him.

At this point, why should he not run as an independent?

With 400k votes, Is a 50/50 split impossible

How are the 400,000 votes evenly split? At times there was a 29 vote difference. Earlier 100,000 votes each were separated by a 29 or 100 votes. Can anyone expect 190000 votes each, to be separated by 29 that's what I saw earlier.

Corporate Democrats have been given a free ride for too long

I don't care about republican obstruction, that isn't an excuse for proposing pro corporate legislation while ignoring the middle class. The federal minimum wage is still 7.25, Obamacare is getting more expensive every single year, and next year prices are going to rise substantially again. Obama doesn't even try to pass progressive legislation. He Doesn't Even Try.

Medical costs are rising exponentially, daycare costs and college tuition are incredibly expensive, the cost of living has made the entire nation poor, and wages are stagnant for the working class. Meanwhile 14 billionaires made 140 billion over the last two years. This is in addition to what they already owned.

The billionaires are spending billions in order to buy politicians, and the working class is being punished for it.

Closed primaries make zero sense since they ignore the majority of the electorate.

Closed primaries mean that 40% of the voting electorate is unable to participate in the nomination process. If the independents do not like the nominee they won't show up to vote in the general.

To ignore a 3rd of the nation in the primary process is counterproductive in the GE.

14 billionaires made 150 billion over the last two years- - this is abhorrent

They made an additional 140 billion on top of what they already owned. As i am sure you all have read by now, the middle class has morphed into the working poor.

Obamacare will go up 30% next year, wages are stagnant, and the rent isn't going to pay itself.

Obama has enabled the billionaire class, and ushered in the Uber economy. Are you ok with this?

Bernie isn't running against Hillary, Bernie is running against the machine.

Hillary has been under FBI investigation the entire time and no one knew it

Corporate media is a disgusting propaganda machine. can you imagine if Obama tried to run in 08 under FBI investigation

Obama ran vs. Hillary. Bernie is running against the corrupt system

Obama had more establishment backing in 2008, remember that Ted Kennedy endorsement him. Also keep in mind that corporate media was in Obama's Corner as well.

Bernie isn't running against Hillary, he's running Against the Machine.
