Please, tell me a fairer way to split six delegates based on a three-way split. There's no mathematical way to do it better.

But then you're making the votes less proportional to what the people voted, which is the point of a representative democracy like we have.

It shouldn’t matter how close the votes are, it should only matter who got the most. If Sanders got the most votes, he should get the most delegates. It’s pretty simple.

Okay but if that's actually the rule then a different year someone will get 3 delegates to another candidate's 2 when their vote counts were 96 and 95

Great, maybe they should’ve campaigned better and gotten those extra two votes.

You don't actually think that's fairer, you're just making that argument because you support the guy who got the most votes in this particular situation

It’s more than fair, you get the biggest voter turnout to support you, no matter how slim the margin, you win the most. People should be happy with their partial delegate reward. We could have it be winner take all so Bernie would have 6 and everyone else will get 0? That better?

No, the Democratic Party decided a while ago that, unlike the Republicans, they would require all states to do proportional rather than winner-take-all representation in the primary, because that's more democratic

The less proportional a system is the less democratic it is, from pure winner take all to your proposal to give "bonus" delegates for hitting first place It's all just reducing minority representation
