Unless of course, the majority of voters disagree with my choice. In that case, it's perfectly OK for members of the establishment to steal the nomination from the winner and give it to my preferred candidate.
EDIT:
Sadly, it appears this tag is necessary.

Who needs voters when you have a few aggressive activists on your side?

(135,425 posts)disapprobation tells us far more about THEM than they might perhaps realize.
California certainly told Senator Sanders what they thought of the way his bullies treated their Senator.
Talk about a tactical AND strategic fuckup. One deserving of some of that you seem to be so fond of....

(1,237 posts)I haven't seen such a highly orchestrated smear campaign aimed at progressives since Bush was in office. The non stop coverage of evil hippies rioting sure got the right wing , fox watching Democrats out in mass.

(45,850 posts)drop a load in Bernies path and run drop a load and run rinse lather repeat-the entire thrust of Hillary's campaign was keeping Bernies campaign on the defensive and when such things as chairs thrown or that wasn't Bernie in that picture were debunked the media simply ignored it and moved on the next smear, even last weekend CNN allowed a Democratic party official to state as fact the number of polls in Puerto Rico had been reduced at Bernies demand, even after within hours the Puerto Rican government issued a statement saying the number of polls had been reduced because of budget constraints the M$M didn't feel it worthy of notice
Interesting and yes very much a reminder of the '90's

(241 posts)I mean, both sides are now being hypocritical about super delegates. Hillary's supporters think they should go with the will of the people and not side with Sanders.
Sanders supporters think they should go with the strongest candidate and not the will of the people.
Well, Hillary supporters used to think that as well. In fact, they supported that notion that super delegates should be able to side with a candidate before they even vote which is a far cry from going with the will of the people.
Lets all stop being hypocrites and figure out a solution that is democratic yet still useful for the party.
