Hilarious reading the comment section of that website. I can’t tell the difference between them and the commertariat of Brietbart.com. My favorite was:

The thing is, Bernie became a Democrat to get access to the money and support of one of the two most powerful established parties. That party gives a number of elected officials and party members a (arguably undemocratic, but as the party is not technically part of the government, legitimate) super-vote to help decide

Last time I checked, Sanders is losing to Clinton in both pledged delegates and actual votes. Why shouldn’t the party nominate someone who wins both?

A) I think a person who wins a majority of the popular votes and of the pledged delegates should usually be the nominee, and I think the superdelegates, as a group, should typically vote accordingly. I don’t really care which state they are formally “representing” and I can’t imagine why anyone else would.

Remember when Sarah Palin essentially did this same thing and someone went out and shot Giffords in the head? Bernie people, get a damn grip on yourselves.

When the “superdelegates” put a candidate that didn’t have the most primary votes cast for him/her over the top, wake me. Otherwise, who cares?

The current FiveThirtyEight projection is that Clinton will have about 4 million more primary votes cast for her than Sanders will by the end of the process. If that holds,

Why do these fucking idiots think they own the apparatus of the parties?

“a) going against the popular vote for their state”

It is rather similar to what I have seen some Sanders supporters do here. Harass and name call anyone who is voting for Clinton. Then claim that someone is a bad black person for voting for Clinton. Or claim that the only black people voting for Clinton are uneducated.

Mulholland is right. Sanders should denounce Thayer, just like Trump should denounce the people committing violence at his rallies. If Sanders doesn’t, we’ll know a thing or two about his morals.

When I see this kind of idiocy take place, I have to begin to wonder if the Sanders extremists and the Trump extremists are just two sides of the same non-listening, non-learning coin. I look at their manner, not their ideas or goals, and to me the two sides are starting to look alike.

I've heard the Sanders coalition referred to as both the Herbal Tea Party and the Green Tea Party, and I can't decide which is better because I like them both!

I don’t see how anyone can fault a superdelegate for favoring the candidate who’s winning with the popular vote and the pledged delegates. The issue is that Sanders supporters are apparently spreading the idea that superdelegates should vote to overturn the popular vote whenever their state’s vote is in the minority.

The dog may be tagged, but it’s still not in the kennel.

That’s one reason I’ll be sad to see Obama go. It’s become clear in his second term that he’s talented at politically running circles around the opposition. Republicans are the Elmer Fudd to his Bugs Bunny.

It’s not like I expected the guy who created http://www.wontvotehillary.com to have a sane and measured reaction to his candidate being behind in the polls.

All one needs to do is look at the GOP primary to realize that Superdelegates, having a vested interest in keeping their party in office and thus making them more responsive to a moderate candidate, is actually a good idea.

I dated a Spencer. He is a Cruz supporter. I obviously dodged a bullet!

The fun thing about being a Democrat is that even when it became obvious that the Tea Party was doing long term, possibly generational damage to the GOP, I never for a second believed that the left would capitalize on that opening by trying to accomplish our policy agenda and consolidate our position. It’s like

His name would be Spencer. I mean, of course.
