In reply to the discussion: Dem precinct chair/Sanders voter appalled at slams against super delegates being launched here. [View all]jwirr
(39,215 posts)and not the other way. Many of us who are volunteers have been turned away from Democratic Headquarters in our own communities because the leader does not want to support Bernie. You must be aware of the deliberate denial of more debates until Hillary needs more. And over the years you must know that party leaders like Rahm Emanuel would not support anyone but DLC candidates with DSCC money.
I am sorry but we no longer trust the party faithful who call themselves our leaders.
And as to the long period of volunteering - many of us have done the same. I have been volunteering since JFK. Ran a headquarters for McGovern. Organized the walking maps in Iowa City for Ed Medvinski (Hillary's son in law's father), worked for Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. And am now a working for Bernie. So I do not see why I cannot be angry about the new addition of super delegates to our system. We did just fine without them before.
