In 2008, as the chair of Hillary's campaign DWS argued that SuperDeligates should switch

[pdsimdars]

and vote for Hillary. Just heard them bring this up on TYT.

How about that?

[Hoyt]

1. Just proves Superdelegates aren't something new to rig the election against poor Sanders.

So please stop whining about rigged elections. Sanders should have become a Democrat decades ago.

2. Super Delegates can switch

The Sanders campaign weirdo attempts to get them to switch have backfired and gone sideways at every turn.

3. Clearly DWS hates democracy.

[SFnomad]

4. These are delegates that declared before the Primaries were over too, weren't they?

See, this isn't just a conspiracy against BS ... this is way things have been done in prior elections, too.

5. How would voting for Hillary be a switch?

It was a bit different in 2008 because Obama was leading. He only got about 1/2 of them and they were not the deciding factor. Won't be this time around either.

[pdsimdars]

6. Exactly, Obama was leading and HILLARY wanted them to switch.

NOW, they chide Bernie for doing the SAME thing.

Just like they keep calling for him to drop out when SHE didn't, until 4 days after the last primary vote.

It points out more hypocrisy.

[SFnomad]

7. But Clinton won the popular vote back in 2008 ... BS isn't even close n/t

12. Clinton also used the "polls better" argument.

And hell, she pulled the "white vote" argument as well. Which there was a hundred recced thread here making that argument, around when the Stockholm guy was posting his shit.

[joshcryer]

11. Sanders has every right to use every method at his disposal.

I'm pretty sure you'll find that superdelegates were not a big of a topic then here as they are now. Everyone assumed they would go with the pledged delegate leader. Clinton was within 100 delegates throughout the race, and closed it a mere 62 delegates behind.

[Metric System]

8. And her argument was wrong. It also didn't change any Superdelegates' minds.

[joshcryer]

9. Yes, we know Sanders is using Clinton's arguments.

We saw how that worked out for her when she was behind.

[KingFlorez]

10. Hillary is evil, but because she supposedly said something, it's ok for Bernie to say it

[pdsimdars]

13. Is the word "ironic" or flat out "hypocritical"?

In her last election she was in Bernie's position and did one thing.
And now, Bernie is in the position and she criticizes him for doing what SHE did.
