Super Delegates

Hey guys,

I am going to return to the political environment and address the topic of super delegates. This has a bunch of Bernie supporters all riled up because the numbers for delegates being reported also include the super delegate pledges. This makes it seem that the election is basically over and Hillary will win. My personal thought is that Bernie never had a chance. The Clintons are crooked and will steal the election at all costs. They learned their lesson with Obamas victory over Hillary in 2008. But I have been wrong before. Only time will tell.

Anyway, super delegates are unpledged Democrat party leaders: senators, past presidents, etc. These people can swing an election one way or another. There are 712 of these delegates. There are 4763 total delegates. So the super delegates only make up a fraction of the total. In order to win, one of the runners has to obtain 2382 total delegates.

So Bernie supporters do have a little to be mad about. But the media has always been slanted towards the Clintons.

I believe that I am probably the least biased person in this regard because I am on the other side of the spectrum.

I say this because I would like to point out something. The rules put in place by the DNC are unfair. Why should past party leaders have a bigger say than the constituents that elected them? That is absolutely ludicrous and opens up a can of worms that can lead to an oligarchy: Rule by an elite class. I personally believe that the end goal of the Clintons is to have this oligarchy. Why would they support these slanted rules if that wasnt the end goal?

Because of this, I encourage all voters, Democrat and Republican, to look into their candidates, ALL OF THEM, before they vote. Look into what they supported in the past. Look at their voting record. These two things will tell you almost everything you need know about where they stand on issues. Their babble in the debates and commercials are nothing but spectacles. Actions speak louder than words.

I do this very thing before every election. I scan the field and make a list of the candidates, then research their past before I watch anything that they say or that news reports about them.

The reason that I posted this is because I see a lot of my fellow students outraged at the unfair support for Clinton. If you want things to change, you have to stay informed and vote the crooked people out.

This very thing is happening to the Republican party as we speak. The constituents are tired of electing these establishment candidates that make promises, Rubio on immigration, then turning their back and doing the exact opposite.

The next post will be on corruption in the Republican party

One last note. I notice that a lot of people I talk to do not explore the other side. I believe it to be very important to know the stance of both sides. You actually might find yourself in agreement with some of the other sides arguments. Voting by party is not the way to move America in the correct direction.

Just to give you an example, I agree with the idea that everyone should have the opportunity to go to college. But taking money from someone else, big company or small guy, and giving it to someone else is not the way to do it. Its morally wrong in my opinion.

 I would suggest federal loans, interest free, that have to be paid back once you graduate. And there would need to be penalties for dropping/failing out to keep people from abusing the system.

I hope this was informative and gives you the urge to go out and explore all the potential candidates.
