Drill Baby Drill...the US Politics Thread (Part 3)

Cross posting from the Iran thread…

Seriously stop with the stupid super delegates shit. It has no bearing at all on Bernie’s failures to earn the nomination for a party he will not even officially join. His issue in both runs was simply he could not get enough primary voters to vote for him. He has never been close enough with regular voters for his lack of super delegates to matter.

It is also a complaint that generates an eye roll when it is made at the same time as arguments about the Dems are weak for not forcing Biden out in 2024 earlier, or for allowing Trump to win in 16 or 24. Do you want centralized power within the party that can decide for itself who is their candidate or not?
