Democracy is OK if the votes go MY WAY.


I'm not sure how that came into the discussion, really. There's Hillary Clinton with more popular votes and more pledged delegates. People vote and she's ahead, and is certain to have a majority of both by convention time. Then, there's Bernie Sanders, who will have a majority of neither at the convention.

There are also 714 super delegates who will be voting. In the past, they've voted for the candidate who had the most votes. They'll do that again in 2016. But, somehow, they should switch their vote and vote for the candidate with fewer pledged delegates and actual votes, according to some.

It seems to me that those who are calling for a Sanders win, despite his numbers gained from actual primaries and caucuses, are basically saying what's in the title of this post. Where did that attitude come from? How is that democratic?

Maybe someone can explain that for me.

Please do not ask fellow DUmp monkeys to explain anything.

Actually, I think the Bernie bullies are obligated to answer the question.

I dunno why they keep ducking it.....or the questions regarding Methuselah's income taxes.
