[vickisanders]

This democratic party is getting pathetic!!!

[RLProctor]

Didn’t the people vote for Joe? I thought the party supposed to do the will of the people? Why even have elections anymore?

[evertonmcfarlane]

The Democrats are in serious disarray.

[antiwarpig]

This is how they screwed Bernie Sanders

[henryjustin]

Who’s trying to end Democracy now???!!!

[davus]

So the democratic party doesn't actually practice democracy and allow its members to vote for their candidates; candidates are appointed by the oligarchs, who then tell the constituents who shall rule them. What does that sound like??? (not a democratic republic, that's for sure.)

The people voted for him as their candidate, yet, this is proof that government will currupt the peoples vote.

[mastrtonberry]

He said he's not dropping out. Deal with it.

[_SevenT]

so all those votes by the people mean nothing?

RNC - Delegates are obligated to reflect the vote results in Primary || DNC - Delegates are NOT obligated to reflect the vote results in Primary (The Party of "muh Democracy").
