Moulitsas: Sanders's socialist coup | The Hill - Op Ed

36. Well the point is the Superdelegates are there and they are supposed to pick the most electable

With her investigation Hillary is looking less and less electable.
The SuperDuper Delegates should then do their job. Originally they were all lined up behind her before the primaries even started. That is not their function, they were subverting their reason for being from the get-go. Hence the resentment towards them. Many were bought (I'm using that loosely) by her. More resentment. All reasonable resentment I might add.

People say she's ahead. I don't agree. It looks like she or somebody on her behalf has committed election fraud. There is evidence worth investigating. Certainly there has been disenfranchisement. Any Superdelegate who actually cares about democracy should be concerned. It's the same pattern we saw with the voting machines and "shennanigans" with Shrub.

So if I was Sanders I would be courting the superdelegates and pointing out the obvious. She's becoming less and less electable. She did it to herself, this isn't Sanders doing. Since we have Superdelegates they should do their job, which is not to rubber stamp the supposed primary vote, but to promote the most electable candidate. The point is to get a Democrat in the White House and when the Dems accepted Bernie into the Primaries they accepted him as a Dem. The argument that he isn't a real Democrat doesn't hold. He is the best bet to win the Whitehouse and mostly holds the views of Democrats. He's less DLC and more progressive/populist/and-oh noes - socialist but those values have always been in the party, they've just been overshadowed by the DLC lately. If he is able to get some of his programs in then the Democratic party will have pulled in new young voters and old progressive stalwarts who had given up and retain people like me who will most likely leave after this election if Hillary is nominated. This revitalizes the dwindling party. This helps get more Dems into Congress and lower ticket, too.

We can preserve Obamacare and maybe make it better. We can finally fix Social Security so it lasts and get rid of the spouse penalty (a great idea of Hillary's to borrow). We can start working on Global Warming and give the young hope again with affordable college. America is in crisis and the Democratic party is faltering.
