It's important to recall when Sanders made this argument - before the final primaries and caucuses had been contested - and that he abandoned it and endorsed Clinton before the convention. It was a case for not dropping out before all the votes were casthttps://youtu.be/v_6BevfMygM

The video of Sanders pressed on this issue in 2016 at the top of this thread comes from
@RiegerReport of the Washington Post. I thought Twitter would include his handle when I posted it, but I guess it does not in a quote tweet for some reason.Show this thread -
Last point: I think Sanders in 2016 and Warren now were forced into this absurd debate by an absurd system for choosing a nominee that expects voters in 4 small states to winnow the field down to just 1 or 2 candidates and it would be far better to let everyone run in every state

That's speculation and we'll see what happens soon enough, but the two contests are very different, given it is not a two person race this year, and the convention rules Sanders helped devise for 2020 make no mention of declaring the winner based on a plurality.

And I believed that lie, that we, Bernie delegates, had a chance of witnessing Bernie get the Democratic nomination in 2016 because super delegates would choose hom.

My view is that, since we don’t have ranked choice voting (which is dumb), whoever gets the most votes should win. Bernie was wrong then he’s right now. Superdelegates muddy an already deeply flawed and convoluted process.
