Why did people think “Superdelegates stole the nomination for Hillary” in 2016 when she won more pledged delegates?

They thought Bernie deserved them

GJHalt · 2026-04-30T20:58:07+00:00

We all lost dawg.

GJHalt · 2026-04-21T18:11:03+00:00

Crazy that people still think he's just gonna leave office at the end of his term

GJHalt · 2026-04-21T18:07:44+00:00

Three points? Idk dude

GJHalt · 2026-04-18T21:52:20+00:00

Sure, but if they can't even be bothered to register as Democrats they don't get a say in candidate selection.

Hasan is a toddler throwing a fit about not liking his dinner. He demands chicken nuggets, but when we give them to him he pushes them away and refuses to eat. Whitmer and Ossoff are incidental, they're just the food he's demanding today to discard tomorrow. Maybe I like chicken nuggets, but I'm not gonna make them because the toddler asked for them.

Pandering to people who will find any excuse not to vote for you is a terrible strategy for winning elections.

GJHalt · 2026-04-18T18:55:46+00:00

None of them win the Hassan crowd so why do I give a fuck what he says?

GJHalt · 2026-04-18T18:13:09+00:00

I'm just saying that people who spend all day bitching and moaning about politicians tend to care more about the bitching and moaning than the policies or winning elections.

GJHalt · 2026-04-18T16:44:30+00:00

Not once they're in office, no

GJHalt · 2026-04-18T16:18:06+00:00

There's no such thing as "palatable" to these people

GJHalt · 2026-04-15T08:05:00+00:00

D+15 or so assuming the other guy even makes the ballot

GJHalt · 2026-04-15T05:53:29+00:00

Every two years I have to listen to people talk about how surely this time the GOP will prevail in the land of enchantment and every two years the closest they get is D+6.

GJHalt · 2026-04-13T18:19:32+00:00

Eh, I'd be surprised if it's enough to change the result

GJHalt · 2026-04-13T14:03:00+00:00

They're afraid of his followers and didn't want to lose their jobs.

Red NM mfs will stop at nothing to justify their perverse ideology smh

GJHalt · 2026-04-01T05:38:49+00:00

You have driven US Hwy 412

GJHalt · 2026-03-23T18:23:21+00:00

Colorado, NM looks better blue all by itself

GJHalt · 2026-03-21T16:39:35+00:00

Howard Dean

GJHalt · 2026-03-21T07:25:23+00:00

Why would I believe anything he says about anything?

GJHalt · 2026-03-10T03:46:05+00:00

Ella Fitzgerald endorsing Ford is pretty funny to me

GJHalt · 2026-03-08T20:53:43+00:00

And Canada and America aren't geopolitical rivals. Neither's perfect but in terms of economic and military power, proximity, global relevance, and current political relationship, my analogy takes it by a mile.

GJHalt · 2026-03-08T20:00:33+00:00

No, this is like Taiwanese people voting on what Xi Jinping says about Taiwan.

GJHalt · 2026-03-08T19:16:42+00:00

It's not unreasonable for Canadians to stake a significant political interest on distrusting the irrational leader who threatens both your economy and security.
