(3,515 posts)But because the electoral college limits the number of electors California sends to the electoral college to our representatives (counted based on our population) and our senators (only 2 for approximately 39 million people in our state) and thus, our individual votes for Hillary did not have the value that the votes of other voters in less populated states had, Hillary was not picked by the electoral college as the winner.
Californians were cheated, and so was Hillary.
And within the Democratic Party, Hillary won the primary in the state of California. Many Bernie voters received only provisional ballots which may or may not have counted because the voters were not properly registered as Democrats. Nevertheless, as I understand it and have always understood it, Bernie lost the primaries because he did not receive as many votes as Hillary.
The super delegates did not make any difference at the Democratic convention in 2016 as I understand and have always understood it. Nevertheless, their existence puts the thumb of the hierarchy and management of the Democratic Party potentially in the pot of the convention voting. It is corrupt. It is wrong if we are to claim to be a democratic party.
Please do not ascribe to me opinions, views or acts that are not mine. I will be very grateful if you respect me as a person and as a Democrat to refrain from depicting me as someone I am not. Thank you in advance.
