8. Not Confrontational - Kinda Fun

and educational for them. He was angry about the superdelegates all going for Hillary and voter fraud. I then he calmed down a lot when I explained that John Hickenlooper/Michael Bennet both won with 1 million votes, while Sanders won with only 72,000 votes and only 127,000 participated. Because unlike primaries - caucuses were the far more effective at disenfranchising than primaries could ever be. As for the SuperD's - why would those who received a million votes bend to so few and many didn't vote for either these officials.

He got it.

I told him to listen to his girlfriend and start reading about Hillary because he was only familiar with Sanders anti-Hillary, anti-Democrats rhetoric . Didn't sound like his girlfriend has made much headway with him.

He said both parties need to blow up and new parties need to emerge. Well that's not going to happen I asked will that solve our problems or make them worse?
He did not have an answer.

Hope this helps.
