In spite of the fact the Iowa caucuses were a photo-finish and Sanders beat Clinton by more than 20 points in New Hampshire, the current delegate count, including both elected delegates and superdelegates, gives a huge lead to Clinton - 394 to 42.
The petition, which was launched Monday morning, has already garnered over 125,000 signatures in 24 hours, reads:
Superdelegates: Don't Deny Democracy.
Commit to honoring the voters - let everyone know that you won’t allow your vote to defeat our votes. Announce that in the event of a close race, you’ll align yourself with regular voters - not party elites.
Bernie Sanders is on a roll among actual voters, with a blowout victory in New Hampshire (22 points!) and a virtual tie in Iowa. When Bernie is on the ballot - he can win. But in a close race, Superdelegates can snatch that victory away.
Only by pushing back against this possibility can we ensure that the candidate WE vote for becomes the nominee.

‘“The reason we started this petition is because we feel it is undemocratic for some 360 superdelegates who are apart of the party elite to throw their support behind a candidate before a single vote was cast in any state and in some cases before a debate was held.‒
LOL, they dont realize their in the dem party! Thats stupid!!
I’m enjoying the fact that the D’s emphasis on making everybody equal is backfiring on the exact people who push that agenda. Ain’t karma a b....?
2001
Every vote count?
Hillary and the DNC are in so much trouble.
Hey...”snatch a victory” Isnt that a sexist headline?
I didn’t think Bernie’s group would let that inequity just pass silently. Fight back and speak up, not that I want either of them elected.
lol. Iraq, NK and the Soviet Union have/had fairer election rules
talk about being hoisted on their own petard! These were rules they put in place themselves to prevent something else they didn’t like.
I love how the DNC has a cheat code they can use incase the outcome of the voting “game” doesn’t turn out the way they want.
The riots at the convention should be the biggest ever.
No wonder Hillary, Bill and Chelsea were so upbeat on stage after the drubbing they received.
They expected what, exactly?
Democrats invented Superdelegates in case ‘the people’ were too stupid to vote the way the party wanted them to vote.
"He said 'snatch.'"
How many are they?
Enough to sabotage our Convention?
Who’d a guessed it. The Democrat Party doesn’t believe in Democracy. Me for one. They always prefer a rigged game. . .
haven’t seen that picture yet :)
you’re a sick man :)
great picture though
