🔴 Why is today's headline grabbing vote re: DNC superdelegates regarding a ban from the 1st round vote both a farce & an insult to critical thinkers?

✔ 1. Even if a progressive wins, the DNC can force it to a 2nd round vote...

...just as they did with Wallace. The DNC controls the rules of the convention! As we have already seen, they can ignore, change, or eliminate their own rules at any time.

✔ 2. If they really wanted to keep progressives, they would do away with superdelegates altogether...
... They would not have passed the rules they did in June which enable one person, Tom Perez, to disqualify someone for not being a "faithful" Democrat.

✔ 3. The DNC's new loyalty oath rule is potentially more effective than superdelegates in blocking progressives...

🔴 Is the DNC really getting rid of superdelegate power by not allowing them to vote in the first round? No. It's just a clever way of trying to get progressives to think they are reforming.

commondreams.org/news/2018/06/2…
IF a progressive were to win the Democratic nomination, the DNC can activate the superdelegates by forcing the vote into a 2nd round because they control the rules and bylaws of the convention (just as they did with Henry Wallace).
The progressive is then eliminated in the 2nd round when superdelegates get to vote. Remember the reason superdelegates came into existence was to block progressives from winning.
