@slatestarcodex That seems kinda close to saying that black people don't count as real democratic voters. In what sense was the game rigged?

@AQuirkles Media coverage, superdelegates, debate schedule. Endorsements/donations not "rigging", but still sign of party deciding.

It’s the opposite actually.
@slatestarcodex@willcain -
@MLSESSOMS@slatestarcodex how is it the opposite? -
@willcain the democrats I know are fine with voting for Hilary or Bernie. -
@MLSESSOMS sorry moe, you're wrong. It's an analysis reflecting party establishments ability or inability to control the outcome. -
@willcain isn’t your party trying to find way to not have Trump be the nominee? Only one party is in turmoil right now. -
@MLSESSOMS that's the whole point. They can't. The analysis is about how Dems have superdelegates to control the outcome. And they are.

@willcain@slatestarcodex How is for you to answer. Dems nominate candidate they hate? Is demonstrably false. Rigged? No, people vote. -
@Jazzistential@slatestarcodex with all due respect, you don't understand the analysis. It's about superdelegates. & how dem establishment -
@willcain@slatestarcodex OK, yes is the "part" of the situ I referred to. I do ustand that. Inaccurate bc not the whole situ. Same w R's. -
@willcain@slatestarcodex Your statement was funny and witty, but by virtue of actual votes, not true. Maybe I don't understand your point!

@slatestarcodex Am I correct in understanding this defines "Republicans" as "Republican establishment" and "Dems" as "rank-and-file"? -
@slatestarcodex (obviously the latter being "white liberal rank-and-file".)
