I love you guys. I really do.
But this “superdelegates” business is nonsense. Superdelegates did not play any meaningful role in 2016, and pretending they did sows misplaced distrust that depresses political participation. It is both wrong and bad.

I've spent a pretty considerable amount of time thinking about, studying, and trying to figure out how to overcome the disaffection "a whole generation" feels toward the Democratic Party. A significant cause of it is the irresponsible spread of bullshit excuses by sore losers.
Bernie Sanders is probably my second choice for president. The Democratic Party has considerable flaws, and you can find examples of me talking about them long before 2016. But this "rigged" nonsense is corrosive bullshit.
Many of us didn't really push back on it at the end of the 2016 primaries, thinking supporters of the losing candidate needed time and space to work through their disappointment and that telling them they'd lost fair and square would just keep wounds open.
That didn’t work, and instead some people are again salting the earth so that if their candidate doesn’t get the nomination, nobody else can win.
I’m all out of patience for it.
