Just watched Joy Reid talk to a man on the street of New York City who tells her that he likes Bernie, but doesn't want his vote to be wasted, so he's voting for Hillary.

(3,795 posts)The media has been able to effectively make her INEVITABLE by adding the super delegates to her overall tally to get people like this man to not vote for Bernie.
Even if HRC gets more pledged delegates than Bernie, we must organize to get rid of super delegates. We simply must. Again, their very existence may have helped Hillary win this nomination by creating the aura of inevitability in just enough voters to help tip the scales to HRC. She even has some people that would vote for Bernie voting for her due to the bandwagon effect (wanting to vote for the winner).
I like democracy. Super delegates are anti-democracy. Period.
