Okay, y'all have made it Swarovski CLEAR that y'all NEED a Convention PRIMER, esp. since MSM keeps LYING TO Y'ALL abt HOW a Candidate becomes The NOMINEE at the DNC CONVENTION
And I'm TIRED of y'all walking around, all IGNORANT & freaking out
1/n
There are TWO types of "Delegates" PLEDGED & UNPLEDGED or "SUPERDELEGATES"
PLEDGED simply means that they have either ALREADY LEGALLY COMMITTED TO A CANDIDATE or AGREE TO COMMIT TO THE CANDIDATE THAT WINS THEIR STATE'S PRIMARY
The # & Del selection method varies by STATE
PLEDGED Delegates CANNOT LEGALLY CHANGE THEIR VOTES
They have been SELECTED BY THE VOTERS TO REPRESENT THEM AT THE CONVENTION
Go Google "rogue delegates" for the history & backstory on WHY they are now LEGALLY BOUND by their RESPECTIVE STATES & DNC RULES A
Now for the process at the Convention:
PLEDGED Delegates VOTE FIRST
(you can thank the Vermont Jesus Bros for that), ALL OF THEM
That's 3,903 PLEDGED VOTES, THAT CANNOT BE CHANGED
Remember, the above reasons ☝🏽
IF (which WILL NOT HAPPEN IN AUGUST) there's a close race THEN
In ROUND ONE, again there are 3903 PLEDGED VOTES
🚨 JOSEPH ROBINETTE THEE BIDEN SENIOR HAS 3898 🚨
To become the NOMINEE, he only NEEDED 1968
He CLINCHED that around MARCH, and 🚨HAS AN EXCESS OF +1903 PLEDGED VOTES 🚨
Won't even MAKE IT TO ROUND TWO
WHY?
🗣️📣BC THE PLEDGED DELEGATES CAN'T CHANGE THEIR VOTES 📣🗣️
Just sit and THINK, DAMNIT:
FIRST round, 3896 votes that CANNOT BE CHANGED TO ANYONE ELSE
PERIOD POINT BLANK
Y'all have GOT to start PAYING ATTENTION
If DURING THE PRIMARIES, the race was TIGHT, with the PLEDGED DELEGATES BEING SPLIT AMONGST THE VARIOUS CANDIDATES RUNNING, MAYBE then that PD count wouldn't be enough for ONE Candidate to "clinch" Round One
That's called a "contested Convention" & EVERYONE would EXPECT Round 2
Round 2 is where the SUPERDELEGATES get their time to shine:
THEY ARE UNCOMMITTED,& CAN VOTE FOR ANYONE, so they are NOT LEGALLY PLEDGED TO ANY ONE CANDIDATE
MOCs, DNC Board Members, State Party Leaders & Legislators are SUPERDELEGATES (739)
AND the # to get the Nom goes UP
UNLESS OR UNTIL POTUS says it out of his OWN MOUTH that he is dropping out, THE SUPERDELEGATES WON'T EVEN VOTE AT THE CONVENTION ITSELF
Here's the UTTER GAG though:
THEY ALREADY ENTERED A MAIL-IN VOTE BACK IN JUNE bc of an Ohio deadline & the Convention would be AFTER THAT
So NO MATTER the Fantasy Football Politics the MSM keeps LYING to us about
🗣️📣🚨THERE WILL NOT BE AN "OPEN"/"CONTESTED" CONVENTION, NOR SHOULD THERE BE 🚨📣🗣️
And now YOU know WHY
