DNC votes to limit role of Superdelegates moving forward

[the cac mamba]

i guess that Backpage shutdown hurt more people than i thought either way, i think we can agree this is a positive step towards gaining the public's trust after the 2016 disaster

DNC committee votes to limit power of superdelegates

" Clinton won 544.5 superdelegates in the 2016 primary, compared to Sanders’s 44.5. ()

Sanders praised the DNC in a statement, calling it a “major step forward.”

"This decision will ensure that delegates elected by voters in primaries and caucuses will have the primary role in selecting the Democratic Party's nominee at the 2020 convention," Sanders said."This is a major step forward in making the Democratic Party more open and transparent, and I applaud their action."

I guess that kills one of your dishonest talking points to explain why you don't vote.

Would Sanders still have lost without superdelegates?

Did you even vote?

You seem to be worried about a hypothetical when you failed to do your part.

That's why I call it dishonest posting.

Better question, did the super delegates in states Bernie won vote in line with their constituents? Because in those places, their will WAS overwritten regardless of if it would mean Bernie wins or not.

How is this a better question?

• Not all super delegates are elected by their state popular vote.
• If the representatives were forced to vote in line with their states popular vote you'd essentially have an electoral college where only the largest states mattered
• Clinton still would have won because she won the most votes/states in the primary
• Not to mention it would make Superdelegates superfluous -- I imagine that's your intent

This list tracks the support for given candidates among the 716 unpledged delegates (commonly known as superdelegates) who were eligible to cast a vote at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, held July 25–28, 2016 in Philadelphia.[1][2][3] The 8 unpledged delegates from Democrats Abroad carry half-votes at the convention, yielding a total of 712 votes.[4] Unpledged delegates represent about 15% of the overall convention votes (4,767 delegates, 4,763 votes) and come from several categories of prominent Democratic Party members:

• 437 elected members (with 433 votes) from the Democratic National Committee (including the chairs and vice-chairs of each state's Democratic Party)
• 20 distinguished party leaders (DPL), consisting of current and former presidents, current and former vice-presidents, former congressional leaders, and former DNC chairs
• 191 Democratic members of the United States House of Representatives (including non-voting delegates from DC and territories)
• 47 Democratic members of the United States Senate (including Washington, DC shadow senators)
• 21 Democratic governors (including territorial governors and the Mayor of the District of Columbia).

No I don't. They both know their policies. And debates rarely sway voters -- they merely confirm their beliefs.

Many are planning to watch, but most think it’ll just confirm what they already think.
