delegates are suppose to vote with their state while superdelegates can do what ever they want
delegates are elected but superdelegates are not
thats where the sus things happen with party elections
I dont think trump really needs votes from minorities; he lost his mojo with maga so the elections going to be hard
and a lot of people are jumping onto the band wagon on who hates trump the most; thats the new election process
Ok so- firstly most superdelegates are elected
They also are barred from voting on the first ballot, which means they’re essentially tiebreakers now
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
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
Trump 2020
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
