Comment on The light at the end of the tunnel is getting much closer. KEEP PUSHING
protist@retrofed.com 12 hours agoYou don’t understand how this works. If enough people vote for the candidates you support in Democratic primaries, they win. The establishment can’t stop them. If you’re still hung up on the superdelegate system that burned Bernie in ’16, well that system is gone now, and it only existed for the presidential candidate anyway

The superdelegate system didn’t burn Bernie. He was behind Clinton in the primaries well before the superdelegates got their vote in the Convention.
Would they have killed his nomination in 2016 if it were close? Probably. But they didn’t have to because people weren’t voting for him.

People are down voting you even though you are objectively correct. That’s sad. I feel bad for those people.
