    He's Hitler? Right?

    Trump hasn't done anything illegal, immoral, or unethical.

    *sigh* so much drama from the left.

    Funny, Bernie’s position in 2016 was the exact opposite.

    Here's the problem. Let's say you have three moderate candidates and one liberal one. The liberal takes 28%, and the moderate candidates each take 24%. Now, by plurality rules the liberal takes it, but only because the moderate vote was split three ways. I reality the moderates are close to 72% yet lose under the so-called democratic way.

    Superdelegates probably aren't the best solution to this problem though. Better would be universal rank order voting and the lowest candidates are continuously eliminated from the calculation until the top 2 are compared by rank order.

    Agree with OP that Bernie is the only one in Marxist Socialist Globalist Dem party still using the oxymoronic phrase “Democratic Socialism” to describe his version of authoritarian communism

    Why should he have conceded? It seems that Bernie was/is always being effed over by the establishment Dems.

    I can't really speak against this since I had never supported the idea of the popular vote winning. I think most conservatives would agree that every vote should NOT be counted equally.

    If the nomination should go to the person with the most delegates, which he didn’t have, why didn’t he concede?

    Tom Perez is probably going to at least triple his net worth by the end of 2020.

    The point wasn't the actual proportions, just that plurality voting isn't that democratic to begin with.

    That said, maybe it's the average American that has lost touch with reality after too much Fox News. On an international scale, all of them except Sanders are right-winged authoritarians: https://www.politicalcompass.org/uselection2020

    We vote for the interests of citizens in our country. The international scale is irrelevant...

    Probably why immigrants are risking their lives to come here, not Belgium.

    Good question. Can you name what the rep party has forced on you with all their authoritarianism?
