The plurality candidate Sanders got 33.99% of the vote in NV, not 40.5%, which should have given him 12 of 36 delegates. Instead, the electoral college (1) caucuses and (2) 15% threshold — gave him 24 of 36 delegates. Spare all of us how unfair it would be to not nominate a ‘MINORITY/PLURALITY’ candidate.
Spare all of us Real Democrats how horrified we are at Sanders defending Castro. He also supports leftist thugs and dictators like Maduro, Morales, and Ortega. This is a complete no-go for Latinos in Florida and throughout the other 19 swing states.
Sanders’s anti-Israeli comments will be taken out of context and horrify Jewish Americans, a key Democratic voting subset. Sanders’s threat to primary Obama will cost him African-American voters. Sanders’s lying, cutthroat staff is accusing Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy of lying.
This is all well-known oppo dirt on Sanders. trumpco waits in glee to use it. The Bernie ‘tapes’ will paint him as a communist, a supporter of the Soviet Union. Sanders’s lunatic writings on Rape and Female Cancer are COMPLETELY OUT of the mainstream of the Democratic Party, let alone the Nation.
There’s no question in my mind that Socialist Sanders and his Justice Socialists want to burn down the Democratic Party and Replace it. Bernie leftists have now thrown away at least the first half of this Century to the Fascist Republicans.
I know, I posted about it earlier in this thread that Sanders was at 30% in first alignment, actually my only mistake was to sell him a bit short because it was actually 33%. But he was the most preferred candidate for second preference even among moderates so in second alignment he got to 40.5%.
Your talk about real Democrats is funny, though. I showed you in a previous thread Sander's senatorial voting record compared to Klobuchar's, and she voted with the GOP and with what Trump wanted 34% of the time while Sanders only did it 16% of the time so he is aligned with the Democratic Party much more often than Klobuchar. You conveniently ignored that post (complete with links to every single vote) because you wouldn't have anything to use to contradict those FACTS, right?
And see, if the Democratic Party didn't want Sanders they should have denied him the registration. They did not, he registered with them and is running. Tough luck, don't complain, now.
Look, no system is perfect, and I actually don't like the current one.
My preferred system would be like this: no threshold. A threshold disenfranchises voters. Say, 14% of voters want a candidate in a state or multiple states but that candidate doesn't earn delegates there. It's conceivable that candidate still earns enough delegates in other states, to get to a situation of say, 45%, and would be tipped over the 50% if the 14% of voters in multiple other states had earned him/her, delegates. So this is actually saying that voter X in state A counts less than voter Z in state B, and I don't like it.
My recipe for primaries would be: every vote counts the same, all primaries, no caucuses, and at the end, we see if anybody got more than 50%. If not, we resubmit to the entire set of voters in all states and territories, a simultaneous second round with candidates #1 and #2 in the popular preference, and may the best one win.
But the rules are what they are, and all candidates knew about them when they signed up. So if Sanders wins it within these rules, you can't complain. If you want to complain, write to the DNC and suggest different rules for next time.
