quote [ Bernie Forces Ask Clinton And Top Democrats To Recommit To Cutting Superdelegates
"We believe that the passage of these reforms is a fundamental and necessary step," reads the draft of a letter from Jeff Weaver, a top Sanders adviser ] Is the Democratic party an open and a (Small D)democratic party ...or not?
Democrats Are Considering Dropping Superdelegates Altogether
The measure would go a step beyond the Clinton-Sanders Unity Commission proposals to change the superdelegate system. An “absurd and undemocratic idea,” one DNC member said in a memo to party leaders. They will never give away power...2018 is how you take it...the same way they did when they took power away from the East Coast Liberals in the late 1990's. Beet em at the polls.

Hillary took home 38.4% of the vote in my state, to Trump's 58.1%, surprising exactly no one. If had voted for her, she would have lost in my state by 780,153 votes instead of 780,154. My protest vote might have been an empty, meaningless gesture, but so was showing up to vote in the first place (at least on the national level.) It's hard to commit political suicide when you're already politically dead and buried.
