Democrats and others. What do you think of the DNC's practices during this campaign?

[donttread]

Super delegates, high ranking DNC members clearly admitting their bias and of anointing Hilary before the primaries were even underway .
Are their actions to work against your vote for Sanders meaning anything, acceptable ?
Keep in mind, although you may never have been told this, but it is legal for a democrat to denounce the DNC's practices or their goal to choose the nominee regardless of what voters feel.
In short you can disdain their practices and still support your favorite neocon, Hilary.

The DNC needs a mechanism to correct errors by the voters.

[domer76]

Clinton has a lead of a couple million popular votes.

[Peter1469]

She is also a criminal.


Clinton has a lead of a couple million popular votes.

[Green Arrow]

The superdelegate system is corrupt and needs to be altered to better reflect the votes of their states, or eliminated altogether.

[domer76]

She is also a criminal.

Really? Convicted of what?

And what does that have to do with the DNC process?

[domer76]

The superdelegate system is corrupt and needs to be altered to better reflect the votes of their states, or eliminated altogether.

It's worked quite well for the Dems. Why would they want to change it?

[AZ Jim]

The DNC has had superdelegates since 1968, I see nothing wrong with it. It has served us within the party well for 48 years. Sanders is an Independent who used the Democrat party to be able to play in the game, now he doesn't like the party rules. He should go back to his little state and soak his head. He is a spoiler, a sneaky one at that. PS SD's are bound to any one candidate, they CHOOSE their candidate.

[Green Arrow]

It's worked quite well for the Dems. Why would they want to change it?

I don't recall saying they wanted to change it.

[domer76]

I don't recall saying they wanted to change it.

I didn't say they did. You said it

[Peter1469]

The superdelegate system is corrupt and needs to be altered to better reflect the votes of their states, or eliminated altogether.

The democrats won't do that. The last thing they want is what the voters wish. Unless the voters want what they want, that is.

[Peter1469]

Really? Convicted of what?

And what does that have to do with the DNC process?

You will look silly with your front runner indicted for violations of the Espionage Act. Or, a partisan DoJ refusing to do its job, and then the FBI leaks the damning evidence. Either way, Hillary the criminal will be a liability for the party.

[AZ Jim]

Hillary is the choice of the Democrats. End of discussion.

[Green Arrow]

I didn't say they did. You said it

No, I didn't. I said it should be changed or eliminated.

[Green Arrow]

Hillary is the choice of the Democrats. End of discussion.

If that's the case, then the Democrats will not be my choice in November.

[domer76]

The democrats won't do that. The last thing they want is what the voters wish. Unless the voters want what they want, that is.

By a couple million votes, the voters want Clinton.

[domer76]

Don't count your chickens

[domer76]

No, I didn't. I said it should be changed or eliminated.

Good for you. They won't because it works for them. Get your tit out of the wringer and move on.

[Green Arrow]

Good for you. They won't because it works for them. Get your tit out of the wringer and move on.

Nope. I'm going to continue making my voice heard and continue supporting candidates that oppose the system as is. Maine has already taken steps to put an end to it, starting in 2020 Maine's superdelegates will be allocated based on the state's vote. Others will follow.

[Green Arrow]

By a couple million votes, the voters want Clinton.

That's impossible to say because the popular vote is not counted in caucus states - Sanders won those.

[domer76]

That's impossible to say because the popular vote is not counted in caucus states - Sanders won those.

You think a couple of million voted in the caucuses?

[domer76]

Nope. I'm going to continue making my voice heard and continue supporting candidates that oppose the system as is. Maine has already taken steps to put an end to it, starting in 2020 Maine's superdelegates will be allocated based on the state's vote. Others will follow.

Dandy. Clinton still wins.

[AZ Jim]

The democrats won't do that. The last thing they want is what the voters wish. Unless the voters want what they want, that is.What the hell are you talking about? The voters made the votes that has Hillary ahead. The SD can change their minds at convention should they choose to do so. Go worry about the crooked schemes of the republicans.

[AZ Jim]

If that's the case, then the Democrats will not be my choice in November.It will be tough but we'll survive. I'm sure trump will love having you.

[Peter1469]

The republicans can do what they want. It doesn't affect me.

[hanger4]

And what RNC "crooked schemes" would that be ??

[Green Arrow]

You think a couple of million voted in the caucuses?

1.3 million voted in Washington state's caucus alone, so I don't see any reason why not.

[Green Arrow]

Dandy. Clinton still wins.

The nomination, sure, but she loses the party and may very well lose the election altogether.

[Green Arrow]

It will be tough but we'll survive. I'm sure trump will love having you.

I'm not voting for Donald Trump.

[domer76]

1.3 million voted in Washington state's caucus alone, so I don't see any reason why not.

All 1.3 million votes for Sanders, too

[domer76]

The nomination, sure, but she loses the party and may very well lose the election altogether.

Counting chickens, too?

[Green Arrow]

All 1.3 million votes for Sanders, too

No. Are you being obtuse deliberately or is it something unavoidable?

[Green Arrow]

Counting chickens, too?

I don't live in Idaho, we don't count chickens here.

[domer76]

I don't live in Idaho, we don't count chickens here.

Obviously, you can't count at all. Clinton has a couple million more votes and about 270+ more pledged delegates.

[Common Sense]

I'm not a fan of the way either party chooses its leader. However neither are a government entity and are for all intents and purposes private organizations who are free to determine how they choose their leader.

[Green Arrow]

Which would mean something if we had others to choose from. As long as they remain our only two viable choices, we need to have the right - all of us - to weigh in on how they choose our next leader and force changes to that process if we don't find it acceptable.

[Green Arrow]

Obviously, you can't count at all. Clinton has a couple million more votes and about 270+ more pledged delegates.

Yes, domer, she does. Anyone can parrot the facts, it takes real intellect to understand them. That's your struggle.

Again, the votes in caucuses are not counted. Bernie Sanders could very well have more popular votes than Hillary if those votes were counted - or Hillary could have an even bigger lead over him. Either way, the real popular vote total is impossible to determine because the popular vote is not counted in several races.

This is grade school stuff, not difficult to comprehend.

Comprehend reality. If you can

Everything I just said to you is reality.

Now that sounds a bit a bit Orwellian
