2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDon't worry, Hillary fans. The SCOTUS is sure to rule Iowa in her favor.
We don't actually need to count up all votes. All that matters is who the corporate media says won on election night.

(1,353 posts)I am just about at the point of no return to this once loved site... The immaturity and hatefulness that abounds from a lot of the Bernie supporters here is making this political process seem anything but democratic... Bernie deserves better....Hillary deserves better.

(1,353 posts)Clinton's victory means she will collect 23 delegates and Sanders will win 21.
With her advantage in superdelegates the party officials who can support the candidate of their choice Clinton now has a total of 385 delegates. Sanders has 29.

Clinton came out on top, and got more pledged delegates.

(94,728 posts)They may know the number of voters who showed up, but they don't tally the actual votes.
mhatrw
(10,786 posts)Somebody knows. And the rest of us would like to.
bettyellen
(47,209 posts)I know they suck, but it's a bit late to complain now...
mhatrw
(10,786 posts)vs. how many wanted Sanders.
How is it that Republicans can have caucuses that include individual vote counts but Democrats cannot?
brooklynite
(94,728 posts)FWIW, until recently, the REAL votes that the Republicans cast were a meaningless beauty contest exercise, and had no bearing on the distribution of delegates.

To me, the Clintons' closeness with this family of criminals completely disqualifies any of them for future election to any high office, much less the White House again..

SCOTUS and the corporate media are two different things. Glad to help.
