Fuck the superdelegate system.

Though I bet the GOP wishes they had it right about now

I'm much more a fan of the pop vote. However, I wonder if it's actually a case of "be careful what you wish for, as it may come true".

Exactly, when the Bernie supporters switch over to Trump, we can finally take down the clinton crime machine, and everyone will be happy, yay!

@ scooby

Talk about flights of fancy. 
Yeesh.

Holy shit, I knew you were biased against Bernie but rofl at that title.

I'm not saying there's still a lot of hope for him. I'm saying the idea that he is "wasting everyone's time" is ridiculous. Who's time is he wasting? The people already voting for Clinton? Or are you simply scared that the longer he stays in the race the more potential bullshit he can point out in both the scam-artists currently leading each of the parties.

You know, it isn't as if it is a secret.  If Sanders didn't know ahead of time then he should have known.  He's been in Congress for 25 fucking years.

These are contests to decide the nominee of a party.  I get that independents think they are somehow remaining "pure" by not signing up with either party but the fact is that all they manage to do is make themselves irrelevant.  In the 1970's the religitards took over the GOP and we are still paying the price for that fiasco.  If "progressives" want to take over the democratic party they should grow a pair of fucking balls, sign up, and do it.

I'm tired of their fucking whining.

Careful.

There's no such thing as a flawless politician. If there was, then the real flaw lies within yourself. The trend of people who will defend their chosen presidential candidate until the day they die is a scary statistic, and I can garuntee you not one of those people are level headed. Just because one has to choose a single candidate to support does not mean one has to choose a single candidate to support 100%.

I kind of agree with Min. Hillary is the inevitable winner. Uniting the party is best FOR 2016. I think Bernie may be staying in for the purposes of moving the conversation to the left beyond that. I can respect that. I know I'm probably a minority here in that I don't want to see the Democrats migrate to the far left but even so, I support Bernie's right to his cause. I would personally rather he get to fuck out of the way at this point but my principles dictate that he should do what he's got to do - as long as he doesn't do what Ralph FUCKING IDIOT Nader did and run as a 3rd-party candidate - thus dividing the liberal vote enough to give the election to the conservative candidate. But Bernie won't do that.

I would like to see him get out too. I don't agree with him but i think we're strong enough (particularly if Trump is the opponent) to let him have his say. I strongly prefer Hillary but no American election should be a coronation. We don't do royalty. You have to earn it here. Put on the gloves and FIGHT. It isn't pretty but I think it's the best way.

The same delegates who will elect Hillary will decide the platform.  At this point Bernie is angling to make a speech in prime time and little more.  He could probably get that by supporting Hillary tomorrow.
