Superdelegates.
Superdelegates don't "rig" the system. Those are the primary rules all candidates agree to. All voters that wanted to were allowed to vote for Bernie. 3 MILLION fewer did than voted for Hillary. A far greater margin than between Clinton and Obama.
The delegate system is set up similar to the EV system, so you do have a "dead vote" component.
It's still not a rigged system. Every voter that wanted to vote for Sanders could. 3 MILLION fewer did so.
Who voted for the superdelegates?
Who the fuck cares? They didn’t decide the election and even if they did, it’s THEIR fucking primary. Their pool, their rules. Are you that ignorant of our election system? The purpose of a primary is for the PARTY to choose their candidate. Bernie got THREE MILLION fewer votes than Hillary. Hillary and Obama were much closer than Hillary and Bernie but nobody, especially not Hillary complained about it in 2008.
And yet you still have the Bernie Bots saying the superdelegates were the cause.
I am just enjoying the show from the outside, nothing more.
