In reply to the discussion: A Bernie Sanders Supporter Confronted a Superdelegate — Then Leaked Their Private Conversation [View all]Peace Patriot
(24,010 posts)supporter and activist. And you are wrong. The Super Delegates are unpledged but they are most certainly answerable to the voters. Or maybe they have a deal with ES&S/Diebold and the voters really and truly don't matter any more?
The voters will SIT ON THEIR HANDS in November if this arrogance and snottery continues that the SD's do not have an obligation to the voters. It's true in states that Clinton actually won, and it's true in states that Sanders has won, and it's true in states that are ties or near ties, as to proportional representation among the SD's. And it will continue to be true in the rest of the primaries, including NY where the SDs have announced that NONE OF THEM will vote for Sanders NO MATTER WHAT THE VOTERS SAY.
You want to lose the election AND the Democratic Party? You do that.
