54. you need 2383 to clinch

Mon Jun 27, 2016, 11:58 AM

Jun 2016

Clinton has 2220 pledged delegates and 591 super delegates, which totals 2811.

Recent tally is here.

Until the convention, those super delegates could in fact shift to Sanders. I doubt they will, but until they vote at the convention, Hillary has not "clinched" the nomination.

Dems Adopt $15 Minimum Wage In Platform Draft [View all] Purveyor Jun 2016 OP

Why not make $15/hr minimum wage the goal, so even if we fall short, we still give the hardest working Americans a decent raise? (the ones who deserve it the most!) InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2016 #1

Because $15 in NYC and $15 in Tuscaloosa are two completely different things... pipoman Jun 2016 #17

And $15/hr is not even enough in New York. NYC Liberal Jun 2016 #25

I think minimum should be based entirely on cost of living in an area... pipoman Jun 2016 #27

15 is not enought even in Northport - in Tuscaloosa lol SoLeftIAmRight Jun 2016 #28

Yup... $15/hr is the BARE MINIMUM anyone could possibly live on. InAbLuEsTaTe Jun 2016 #36

15 dollars isn't shit in Tuscaloosa either. ForgoTheConsequence Jun 2016 #37

I'm not debating your finances pipoman Jun 2016 #38

Right. ForgoTheConsequence Jun 2016 #39

Exactly $15 an hour should be the floor nationwide TexasBushwhacker Jun 2016 #42

Why do you need a minimum wage if you trust NY to do the right thing? pipoman Jun 2016 #44

Because I'm not a disciple of Ayn Rand. ForgoTheConsequence Jun 2016 #45

I see, you don't know why... pipoman Jun 2016 #46

I just told you why. ForgoTheConsequence Jun 2016 #47

By your own admission there doesn't need to be a "floor" in NYC, So.Cal. etc... pipoman Jun 2016 #48

NYC and SoCal aren't part of the United States? ForgoTheConsequence Jun 2016 #50

This is really simple pipoman Jun 2016 #52

A national floor doesn't prohibit a localized floor. ForgoTheConsequence Jun 2016 #53

... pipoman Jun 2016 #56

sounds cruel to me SoLeftIAmRight Jun 2016 #43

Good, they'd rejected it earlier today Warpy Jun 2016 #2

There are a lot of classic movies on digital channels TexasBushwhacker Jun 2016 #41

Actually, they didn't. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #29

Then why all the threads saying they didn't still_one Jun 2016 #3

Confusing process, probably. elleng Jun 2016 #4

Probably. While there are things that can be discussed on this, it isn't that controversial still_one Jun 2016 #7

Not at all, elleng Jun 2016 #8

I watched the vote on video where they rejected it. rhett o rick Jun 2016 #18

They did NOT reject the 15 dollar minimum wage. They redundant wording was rejected, still_one Jun 2016 #23

which was not at all clear from the video of the vote. elleng Jun 2016 #33

They voted down amendments to the plank. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #30

So did many of us, elleng Jun 2016 #31

Probably because they got heat and then reversed? newthinking Jun 2016 #9

maybe. As I said, it isn't that controversial. I can think of a lot more controversial things still_one Jun 2016 #10

So what does this video show? rhett o rick Jun 2016 #19

The current platform language about a $15 minimum wage is weak and ineffectual w4rma Jun 2016 #20

A vote on Ellison's amendment to change the $15 language. The change in language failed. Brickbat Jun 2016 #22

That is right, not the 15 dollar minimum wage, that is in the platform still_one Jun 2016 #24
