    Good luck with the superdelegates overriding anyone who wants to effect change. Bernie, specifically, and whoever the next person will be. The DNC is a disgrace.

      I think Obama represented the best the DNC can hope for in producing a candidate, and Adolph Reed Jr’s 1996 column criticizing Obama was a perfect prediction of what became of his legacy.

      I’m super curious what you wanted to have happen. Overall, Clinton won the Democratic primary vote 55% to 43%. So, the votes should have been over-ridden because the candidate you and I preferred got fewer votes? (Yes, they also got more delegates but at the end of the day, the vote total was in line with the delegates.)
