Any time someone pretends like the convention debate is about Super Delegates, just make this point or paste this link. The real question is whether DULY ELECTED delegates work together to find majority support. If they do, that's democracy. Super Delegates go along / are moot.https://twitter.com/BoldProgressive/status/1233428735577280513 …

This is just disingenuous nonsense Adam—if a candidate like Bernie has an overwhelming pledged delagate lead, what you’re advocating is to disregard the majority of voters.

Opposite. Plurality of delegates represent a minitory of voters. By definition. Have faith that Bernie can listen, organize a coalition, and win a majority of elected delegates. That’s your strongest argument. Not telling people to shut up and bow down.

I see—so if
@ewarren wins no state & has miniscule # of the delegates, your mentality is for all of the states@BernieSanders won—and the overwhelming delegate lead he has (bc of having more votes) not to matter. And Warren can be a “unity” candidate despite not winning a state1 reply 0 retweets 18 likes -

For someone whose group has Progressive in the name; that is highly undemocratic. Even more importantly, Warren or whomever got the nomination that way would go down in flames to Trump bc the majority of Sanders supporters wouldn’t vote for them. It’s an absurd power grab

I understand how politics works but hard to square the anti-corruption candidate flip flopping on the core DNA of her campaign in 1 week (Super Pacs) and then, after previously saying popular vote should rule, making an undemocratic power play. Progressives should be better

And she was not truthful during her town hall—these aren’t the rules Bernie wrote. Bernie had a minority of representatives on unity commission. He/they has no power to do what they wanted which was to abolish superdelegates. 2nd ballot was all they could get in the minority

Not sure your point. Anything about Super Delegates is a decoy conversation. That’s like talking about the Iraq War after 9/11. What you are disputing is the majority of ELECTED delegates working together to get a majority if none exists. Opposing that is anti-democratic.
