(58,785 posts)Democrats chose our nominee? ? Don't you believe in pluralism and democracy? The right of the people to choose? Are you already expecting to be in opposition to our candidate in 2020 then?
As for the superdelegates, given how one candidate asked the superdelegates to overset the popular vote and give him the nomination, a little tweaking wasn't the worst thing. Even though 100% of the supers refused without a second's hesitation to support the candidate's request, who knows, someday another candidate who was rejected by the Democratic majority might somehow do a better job of persuading them to corrupt the process.
In 2020 and going forward, of course, we'll still have to watch out for any candidates trying to use any means available to overset the will of the majority. (Funny how candidates chosen by a majority don't need to resort to election theft.)
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
