In reply to the discussion: Democrats delay change to convention superdelegates [View all]Gothmog
(145,130 posts)I am laughing so hard that it hurts. Not one of these silly definitions support your silly claim that super delegates are corrupt. You really need to go to a state or at least a county convention and see how the process works in the real world. Not one of these definitions come close to supporting your claim in the real world and it clear that you do not understand the system or how the process works in the real world.
There is nothing corrupt in the real world about allowing an established leader of the party the right to attend the national convention. These elected officials are leaders in the party who are represent the party and its values. I am happy that we have people like Maxine Waters, John Lewis, James Clyburn, Elijah Cummings, Fredericka Wilson, Marc Veasey, Hakeem Jefferies, Al Green, Eddie Bernice Johnson and Sheila Jackson Lee represent our party. Are you accusing the members of the CBC of being corrupt? All of these people have earned the right to attend the national convention and to represent the party.
I was amused by your prior posts where you claimed that super delegates need to be elected by the actual voters because other pledged delegates were elected by the voters. Pledged delegates are not elected by the voters in the real world. I ran and was elected as a pledged delegate in Texas for the 2016 convention and no normal voter voted for me. County party chairs of the counties in my senate district and the delegates who they selected were the people who made this call. Please get out into the real world. Go to a real county or state convention and see how the process works in the real world.. You should be happy to have members of the CBC and other elected officials as super delegates in that real voters actually voted for these elected officials.
You are using a term that you clearly do not understand and none of your silly definitions help. These individuals and the other super delegates are not corrupt. Evidently the fact that most members of the CBC refused to support your candidate has angered you. That is sad but is not a reason to accuse these members of the party of being corrupt. I am disappointed that you are attacking members of our party and calling them corrupt.
I actually live and work in the real world and attend both county/senate district conventions and state conventions. I have served on the rules committee for the party and I understand the process. Your claims of corruption are false. If you want to get rid of super delegates because these delegates refused to help your candidate, then be honest. Do not attack elected officials who are representing our party by calling them corrupt.
