The only way Hillary gains the nomination at this point is for Super Delegates and party insiders - the Big Money Elite - to overturn the pledged delegate vote and elect who they damn well please.

I sure as shit will not condone or support that. It will send the message that they will have carte blanche to throw up whatever corporate shill they want going forward - whoever has the lobby money has the vote.

If that means I have to scrape through 4 years of McCain so be it. I survived 8 of Bush. I won't vote for McAssclown, but I am not going to tell the DLC "Sure, elect whomever you want, why should we care?" either. If we lose an election we have no right losing this year than at least that detestable cabal gets deservedly pushed out of the party.

Its not even about Hillary (although she has certainly made it that much worse), its about a system being broken and abused.
