The Democratic Party should be on notice: if you even think about using superdelegates to take the nomination from someone who has the plurality of delegates going into Milwaukee, we the people will not take it lying down.pic.twitter.com/MWY2vWqZZQ

It's not abuse. Those rules have been in place for a long time. You don't change them, On the fly, to suit you! You are being abusive. Get off your victim http://position.it 's not what you stand for.

The fact that rules have been in place for a long time does not mean they’re fair or that they shouldn’t be challenged. Superdelegates is a system invented to make sure no non-establishment candidate can get through the gate of the elites, making it essentially undemocratic.

When Hillary was buying them up in 2016 the defense was they have never voted against the candidate with the most delegates.

We can't forget this. Bribery in the light of day is the new modus operandi of American politics, it seems.

The Republicans eliminated superdelegates. Seriously. It’s only the Democrats that still have them. Just because something has always existed doesn’t mean it’s RIGHT or FAIR!

Yeah! Like the electoral college!

And saying we're not going to take it lying down is hardly a victim stance. Enabling injustice is a victim stance which morphs into partnering with oppression.

Can we all agree that should the
@DNC get cute at convention#WEthePeople will make our displeasure known in no uncertain terms? Stop playing semantics and acting like you don’t know what@marwilliamson is saying.

then join the party and change the rules. Don't retroactively change them in mid stream. Build from within or start a new party. the USA needs more than 2 parties. It's victim "this isn't" fair thing that gets me. I'm used to it from Bernie but I'm surprised about you.

No. It is a moderating feature from those who built this party for years. Not undemocratic. Bernie has refused to be part of my party for 30 years and has largely thrown stones. I have been in social change for years. This strong arming is not "Democracy!"

Actually changing rules when they no long work in your interest is called... CHEATING.
