Every single Democrat in the House, senate and DEM governors is a super delegate

[Csainvestor]

And the elected democrats in the states that Bernie has won are wilfully ignoring the will of the people.

Bernie has won 15 states and tied in 4 states. Bernie should have 200 super delegates instead of the 30 he has now. This includes democratic senators and governors.


superdelegates include distinguished party leaders, and elected officials, including all Democratic members of the House and Senate and sitting Democratic governors.

1. 2018 midterms

2. Why wait?

DWS is facing a primary this very year.
Every single member in the house has to face an election every 2 years.

9. you are right

I guess i need more coffee lol.
I'm ok with giving them some time to watch the race and listen to their own constituents before we freak out about their votes. There are many who will come out for him when they feel it's safe to.

3. There are 193 Democrats in the House, total.

And most of those states were states with smaller populations, thus fewer representatives.

So, cool story bro.

See: Math.

7. Isn't just congress of course.

superdelegates include distinguished party leaders, and elected officials, including all Democratic members of the House and Senate and sitting Democratic governors.

I thought you knew that, if not, it includes Dem senators and governors.

[onehandle]

11. You initially said House, then edited your OP.

I stand by my assessment. No matter what, a much smaller pool represents Sanders at this point.

Hillary is millions of real voters ahead, so don't expect a big switch unless that changes.

Which it won't.

17. Speaking of which

is the legacy of the Establishment Democrats you are supporting.

4. One might conclude that he's not well liked.

Yeah, yeah, I know.."he's not bought and paid for." A gazillion years in the Senate and not much support from his colleagues. I can't imagine why.

[timmymoff]

8. One might conclude we have the ability to

tell the congressman of the district Hillary lost the simplest of terms. Do you think you can win with the votes Hillary will bring you? Do you want the support of big money and the corporations, or do you want our support? We understand Hillary has bought you with the money she has been bought by, so now we ask the simple question. Are you interested in winning re-election or supporting the Establishment causing us harm? It should be an easy decision.

10. And let them know that we know about the dirty deal with

those 33 states Democratic Parties that sold out to her Victory Fund and sold the SDs with it. Follow the voters or face the music. We know what you did - if you want us to even think about supporting you then listen to us.

[timmymoff]

12. We are doing the very thing in our county

We are telling the long time dems, " we clearly won the agenda" While we aren't looking to dismantle them, we are looking to add our influence and move the party and local candidates towards a more Sanders related platform. We are just adding energy to the old guard, but forcing them to do things differently.

5. #berniemath apparently doesn't account for Republicans in the US House nt

[timmymoff]

14. If bernie wins

he will have an easier house to work with. If Hillary wins, we won't. It's really that simple.

[KingFlorez]

6. Whatever

[brooklynite]

13. Maybe they think Clinton has a better chance of winning than Sanders

Maybe, as professional politicians for whom getting elected is a necessary skill, they know more than a bunch of amateurs on an anonymous political blog.

[timmymoff]

15. Do more or less voters help you achieve victories?

[brooklynite]

21. Well, right now Clinton has more voters, so.....

[timmymoff]

22. Yes

and you see that evaporating daily. Her support has peaked. But I am currently speaking district to district i.e. Bernie got 7000 Hillary 5500... the Bernie Sanders voters simply say.. switch or lose 7000 votes in November. Really rather simple.

[SheenaR]

19. Maybe a lot of these Super endorsements came last year

when she was up 50

Why would they have endorsed someone else at that juncture.

[Alfresco]

16. Bernie wants the support of the Political Establishment?

[timmymoff]

18. The portion earned.

I don't blame him. The voters of districts that Bernie won 60 /40 should be letting their super delegate know how he/she will vote if they want the votes in November. That's what democracy is about. You should be concerned about this, it's the obvious move. Sanders supporters can do that, and in my opinion, should.

[CentralCoaster]

20. Also, several lobbyists and insiders who never, ever, held an elected office.

So that's fucked up.

Fucked. Up.
