Reply #14: No threat. Learn the difference. A prediction is that it would split the party in two. [View All]

A prediction is that there would be demonstrations against the Democratic party leaderships in every major Democratic stronghold in America. A prediction is that such an action will take the Democratic party down in November to certain defeat. A prediction is that all those young and middle aged people who are inspired by Obama would sit on their hands rather than help Hillary steal the White House.

Isn't it amazing that people in our party who have been reviled at the way Bush got the nomination in 2000, and stole the elections of 2000 and 2004 are now using the same methods and rationales as Bush did?

If Obama continues to win as he has been, and if Clinton were able by hook or crook to finagle the nomination, it WILL break the party in half, and we will lose the House and the Senate, as well as the presidency.

That is not something I want to see. The superdelegates have always been a bad idea, and if they do anything other than confirm the will of the duly pledged rank and file delegates, they are not serving the party and not serving democracy. They will have become the pigs at the farmer's table in Animal Farm.

I don't want to see my party fractured. I don't want to see us kill HOPE. I do not want to see us ensure ourselves permanent status as the minority party, unable to ever win the presidency or gain majorities, and that WILL happen if the party superdelegates stomp on all these voters we have brought into the party this year.
