(53,180 posts)And have actually examined the candidates policy proposals and voting record, something the list in the OP shows no signs of. Also we tend to believe that everyone gets a vote, not just Bernie supporters. I know that concept of equal voting rights is an anathema to a candidate and followers who repeatedly prroclaim themselves superior to the majority, but that's really their problem. You can resent the 13 million plus Americans who voted for Clinton all you want, but our rights still count. No amount of entitlement will enable Bernie to convince super delegates that the votes of the people should be overturned for his benefit.
If Bernie wanted the nomination, he needed to win a majority of the votes. Despite outspending Clinton 2-1, he couldn't do that, and has now turned to demands than the party hand him power because he insists his supporters are better than the lowly 13 million plus Democrats who have voted for Clinton. There is no moral high ground in such an argument--premised on the notion that all people are not equal. One cannot pretend to care about the people while working to dismiss their rights to choose leaders by the ballot box.
