Reply #11: If That's What She's Saying Then She's Really Being An Idiot.

The superdelegates are part of this, and even if they have some power to sway the vote one way or the other OUR VOTES STILL MATTERED. Our votes caused all the other candidates to drop out. Our votes have made this a close enough race that the superdelegates could actually matter. At the end of the day, the race will be so close that the voice of the people was that BOTH candidates were good enough and supported enough to run in the GE, and THAT'S what the primaries are all about in choosing a candidate. Having superdelegates have a say DOES NOT take that voice away whatsoever. Anyone repeating the whole "rob the election! steal the vote! Voices won't be heard!" meme is just simply an idiot, because they're acting as if one of the candidates has like a 20% lead or something, and the superdelegates are going to give it to the other one. No, that's not the case we're seeing here. What we see is a virtual deadlock of support, even if one does edge out the other by a little, and then the party insiders will have a bit of their say as well. It's a combined selection used towards picking the candidate, and the votes and voices ABSOLUTELY mattered. That's why edwards is out, kucinich is out, dodd is out, richardson is out, biden is out etc. We're left with two, and the voters support each enough that they would take EITHER as the candidate, based on how close the race is. But the way the process is set up the sd's have a say, which I actually agree with, but that's only relevant when the public has spoken in equal degrees as they have here. If there was REAL public support for one candidate that SIGNIFICANTLY set them apart from the other candidate, then it would be robbery if all the SD's stood together and gave it to someone else. But some need to accept the reality that isn't going on here. We have a dead heat race, and it is perfectly fine for the sd's to have their voices heard as well, since that's how the primaries work. Anyone thinking a race of 50-49% by vote, much of which is from bullshit unfair caucuses, would be 'stolen' if the SD's gave it to the 49%, are just being naive, uneducated and moronic in my opinion. It's a process. The SD's are part of that process. If one candidate had any significant support over the other, this wouldn't be an issue. But that's not the case. Both candidates are virtually equally supported and popular, so this time around the sd's votes matter more than usual. But that's not robbery. That's simply the process. Randi's being an idiot here.
