They should hang the Superdelegates program up, what a shameful scam, the sellout of the country continues under this model when they can ignore state delegate priorities.
I will never align with an organization where a mob boss tells me who they are going to vote on my behalf. The DNC should learn from this, and their shameful actions against Bernie will go down in history as one of the most unethical actions by a party against it own in history.
Try explaining to your teenagers what a
Superdelegate is.... Lobbyist, representing their own interests and ignoring the states... no republican is ever going to wish for Superdelegates.
When HRC talked about the "Basket of Deplorables'", I visualized a superdelegate and I saw HRC as the Superduperdelegate continuing in the
Tammany Hall tradition.
I'm glad Elon is smart enough to reach across the aisle. I will overlook his donations to the ACLU, the same ACLU who claims to be the defender of privacy, who remained silent when the FBI raided Trumps Attorneys' office.... Except for the following blurb from ACLU legal director "The rule of law is alive".
Really?
If the Russians were smart they would copy the
American Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC) model who spent $17M in political support and stand up the American Russian Political Action Committee (ARPAC) so they can do it legally like AIPAC and get a superdelegate like Steve Grossman. I would elect Alexander Ovechkin as the first president of ARPAC....
and our largest donation would go to Facebook...
