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

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Democratic_Party_superdelegates,_2016

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

https://spectator.org/why-trumps-approval-ratings-are-up-among-minorities/

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

jschlatt2020

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
