For all the fucking hype that Bernie Sanders gets you’d think he would have done better. You fucking shit heads sit here not voting meanwhile reblogging shit supporting Bernie. Your bitch ass blog isn’t going to make a difference you dickwad. YOU NEED TO GO OUT AND FUCKING VOTE.
in case you were wondering how badly we have fucking failed so far
THIS IS HOW FUCKING BAD. HILLARY HAS TRIPLE THE VOTES. TRIPLE.
get off your ass and vote. tell your mom to vote. remind your classmates to vote. and i s2g, TALK ABOUT BERNIE TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN FOR TEN SECONDS TOGETHER.
OKAY FIRSTLY
SUPERDELEGATES ARE NOT THE SAME AS REGULAR DELEGATES!!!!!!! I cannot say this enough. THEY’RE NOT THE SAME KIND OF DELEGATES
Delegates are members of the DNC that are awarded to each candidate PROPORTIONALLY BASED ON WHAT THE VOTER RESULTS ARE. They’re the ones that reflect what we actually voted for. They’re the ones that are assigned to each candidate based on our results.
Superdelegates ON THE OTHER HAND are independent and aren’t assigned to any candidate. They can vote for whoever the fuck they want to, and it makes sense that Hillary’s getting more because these are the big shots, like Senators and party officials and shit.
Now, the difference in superdelegates between Bernie and Hillary. From what I’ve seen, Bernie has focused mostly on the voters and less so on the corporate aspect of gaining support. Hillary has been making a lot of corporate connections and has been establishing herself in the political field for years, so those superdelegates probably know of her more than they do Bernie.
So yes, maybe we didn’t do as well as we hoped on Super Tuesday, but we can at least learn how to read graphs and results properly and not just listening to whatever we see on tumblr

(If any of this is incorrect in any way or if there’s something I forget to add/misunderstood, feel free to correct me because there’re still some things I don’t understand but I’m willing to learn)
Some additional aspects:
* Not everyone who supports Bernie is able to vote - there are people who can’t leave work (yes, while technically in many(?) states you are allowed to take time off to vote, pay is not guaranteed), there are people under 18, there are people who can only do so much due to voter ID laws, etc.
* Superdelegates can and often do change depending on what the momentum/tide is. Several people have noted that in ‘08 Hillary had a large superdelegate lead over Barack Obama and yet look at what happened.
