Second- the parties are not lower-case-d democratic institutions
The super delegates are the party leaders, they are just deciding who they want to nominate
Only 20 (2.7%) of the superdelegates are not elected
And those are all former elected officials, like Obama, Clinton and Carter are among those 20
is it only 20?
that doesnt seem that much
Yeah, it’s not that much
i guess most super delegates are elected in some way
still, superdelegates fucked bernie 15% of the nomination
@Platinum Spark I didn't mention anything about approval ratings, I said that he's gaining more minority support.
Hopefully that clears up my statement
@Cobra Commander The article you quoted is about approval ratings
The author is suggesting that approval rating and vote total are synonymous- we know that they are not
Ok time to debate up in this bitch
In fact, if they were, trump would be looking at a catastrophic map in 2020, showing him negative in OH, WI, MI, PA, FL, NC, AZ & TX
GG @Platinum Spark, you just advanced to level 12!
IN too
That's happening

You can thank the squad for that
You can 😔
The midwest has constantly been lied to
And it's so cringe to see the candidates pretend to care about them
Ok, so how is he going to make up all the ground he’s lost in PA?
And MI and WI?
There’s a lot of time left in the election, so nothing is certain yet
But I can tell you that if the election were held tomorrow, trump vs any of the top 5 dems, trump would lose
He just doesn’t have the margin to bleed support like he has
PA, MI and WI are still swing states because no candidate has a definite answer to their problem
Trump didn't "fix" anything there
Looking at 2018, they might qualify as solidly blue
Nothing's written in stone
yet
Although they have shifted blue
The D governor of MI won by 10% in 2018
By contrast, trump won there in 2016 by .3%
Here are some other fun facts:
