No Need to Fear! Superdelegates are Here!

A party of the superdelegates, by the superdelegates and for the superdelegates.  You gotta love the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party.  They are the self-professed champions for the little people – the people who don’t have a voice – when in fact the elitists snobs who run the show have nothing but contempt for those who vote for them; hence, the superdelegates.

How did these Bolsheviks come up with this scheme?  The Christian Science Monitor reported the following:

What’s the origin of the less-than-democratic superdelegate practice? Roughly speaking, it’s a reaction against the perceived chaos of the party’s open nomination process from 1972 through 1980.

Post-1968 reforms had stripped party leaders of their old power to greatly influence the nomination. So in 1972, Democratic voters chose liberal Sen. George McGovern. Democratic elites weren’t happy, foreseeing – correctly – that he’d get crushed.

Nor were they pleased by the rise of outsider Jimmy Carter. Many thought a stronger candidate could have defeated Ronald Reagan in 1980, or at least headed off the divisive primary challenge of Sen. Edward Kennedy.

Thanks superdelegates for saving us from ourselves!

The Democratic Party: A Party for the Super Delegates

My libtard neighbor just loves Washington D.C.’s lawlessness.  He justifies federal government overreach by emphasizing that this is a democracy and their actions are on behalf of “We the people."

My neighbor is to the left of Bernie Sanders.  I know that’s hard to believe but it’s true.  So the next time I see him, I’m going to ask, how is it that the Democratic Party – a party of the people – is ruled by an oligarchy of super delegates?  New Hampshire primary voters should be pissed off!  Here is an excerpt from the Daily Caller:

Sanders won 60 percent of the vote, but thanks to the Democratic Party’s nominating system, he leaves the Granite State with at least 13 delegates while she leaves with at least 15 delegates.

New Hampshire has 24 “pledged” delegates, which are allotted based on the popular vote. Sanders has 13, and Clinton has 9, with 2 currently allotted to neither.

But under Democratic National Committee rules, New Hampshire also has 8 “superdelegates,” party officials who are free to commit to whomever they like, regardless of how their state votes. Their votes count the same as delegates won through the primary.

How is that democracy working for a party of the super delegates, by the super delegates and for the super delegates?
