Can we give decent burial to the meme that Bernie Sanders didn't appeal to black voters.

204. I've read all your posts.

"My thoughts are that that the popular vote has to be involved in the determination of representation, and early. Superdelegates don't enter into the actual selection until the Convention. Primaries occur much earlier. "

You are interested in what "the people" think, but think the ability to override them is necessary, because you don't really trust them. I'm not even saying you're wrong to not trust them, just that you don't.

And of course the superdelegates don't enter into the actual selection until the convention. How can they know what to fix, if necessary, until they have all the results. But if you don't think they enter into the equation until the convention, you're not being honest. There's a reason why they keep a running tally of the "pledged" superdelegates from the start of the primaries, even if those pledges aren't binding. Those delegates are being counted, even if they're not official yet.
