(23,156 posts)who condescendingly told us that those huge rallies for Bernie were meaningless, because hardly any of the attendees would vote in the end, now that their duly elected delegates in the caucus a few weeks ago couldn't be bothered to attend the next level of that system, now they're complaining about how UNFAIR it is!
Listen up everyone. Like the caucus system or hate it, it's not mysterious and impossible to fathom. It's always a several layer process, that's not breaking news. You go to your local caucus. You stand up for your candidate. If you become a delegate for your candidate you need to go on to the next level, usually a county or congressional district convention, and then if elected a delegate again, it's on to the state convention.
These are not rules that were made up last week.
So boo-hoo to all of you who just don't understand that if the Hillary Clinton delegates couldn't be bothered to attend the next level, then too bad. You lose. To me that lack of commitment speaks volumes about just how strong her support is. Which is not very.
