President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Nevada deficit down to less than 800

 

That’s what I think. But they go on with “blah, blah, blah superdelegates “ and “Donna Brazille admitted it was rigged! It was in Wikileaks”!”
And they don’t understand that the DNC does not run the primaries. The states do. They were in no position to rig anything.

 

Except the Superdelegates put Hillary over the top? Without them she doesn’t have a majority to win the nomination.

And states run the elections. Parties control who is nominated.

 

So what? It’s not as if the party could have disregarded the primaries and decided to go with Sanders.

 

And what if the Superdelegates that gave Hillary the majority all went for Sanders? He gets fewer elected delegates but wins anyway. What then?

 

I turn 55 in a month. I still think we should take off and nuke Fox News from orbit.

It’s the only way to be sure.

 

They can’t just toss out what happened in the primaries.

 

Except under the rules then, the winner needed to pass 2,383 delegates. Neither one got there with elected delegates so they needed the nonelected delegates. Bernie’s argument was it wasn’t the people who decided, it was the party. And he’s not wrong. He shouldn’t have been nominated, but he’s not wrong.

 

She won more primaries and received more total votes. How is that not “the people “ deciding?

 

Mostly.

Mostly.

 

Yes, and? You’re argument was basically Bernie tried to distract with the Superdelegates and it was a false narrative. It wasn’t. The party literally chose Clinton over Sanders when neither received a majority of elected delegates. It’s why starting in 2020 they did away with Superdelegates.
