It's all about who counts the votes:

No, it's about the Democrat Party making sure their desired candidate has an advantage over any upstarts that Democrat voters might support over the party leaders. Sanders won the majority of delegates who vote according to popular vote, but then the party leaders A.K.A. superdelegates trample that in favor of their chosen candidate.

I guarantee this will not sit well with the college aged kids who will start to realize their vote is irrelevant. So far Clinton leads Bernie by a large number of delegates.

Clinton - 394
Sanders - 42

We need to get word out about this on social media. The BernieBot will encourage him to go 3rd party.

The Superdelegates were put in to prevent the Dems from nominating another McGovern. Who was to the right of Bernie. So the system is performing as designed.

I’ve been out concern-trolling Bernie-supporters on several other message boards. You’re absolutely corrects, the Bernsters are seriously ticked at learning how the Democrat nominating process works.
