Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: A candidate that gets 35% of the votes shouldn't win. But a candidate that gets 25% should! [View all]W_HAMILTON
(7,878 posts)If no one wins an outright majority, that means that someone will inevitably have to bring others into the fold to hit the established threshold. If they do so, that means that they won over the support of the majority and thus should be our nominee since they will represent the greatest number of Democrats.
And you keep harping on superdelegates -- I suppose to start laying the foundation for the inevitable excuses later down the road? -- when in fact it is the regular delegates that will most likely decide the nomination. The candidate that wins a majority of them -- or can establish a coalition of support from other candidates and their delegates -- will be the one that wins the nomination.
Thus far, Sanders is the only candidate (back in 2016) that has argued in favor of using superdelegates to overthrow the will of the MAJORITY of voters/delegates.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
