re: #393 Targetpractice

It’s pretty simple math: if Bernie arrives at the convention with that 33-40% of the delegates and the other remaining candidates have the other 60-67% between them, then Bernie does not have a majority of the delegates. If the other candidates negotiate between themselves and award that 60-67% to one candidate, then how is it then “fair” to say that Bernie must be named the nominee because he arrived at the convention with the most delegates?

I don’t care about fairness so much as I care about winning. Bernie has young voters who are less energised to vote Democrat than stalwart Democrats like us, so if they think it was unfair, we could lose the election. Clinton showed last time its a fools errand to chase “moderate Republicans” votes like Pete and Amy want. Republicans love Trump. We need to energize our voters. I’d rather win the election than stop Bernie. If Trump wins, our democracy is history.
