    So then when do we defeat the democrats that want to increase funding for ICE, raise more money for Israel, start more regime change wars, increase funding for a border wall, and deport more immigrants?

        In the 2016 WV Dem primary, Bernie won every single county, but Clinton won the state. Should they have voted harder? Are you asking people to comitt voter fraud and vote 110%?

          Bernie got 18 delegates to Clinton’s 11. What do you mean Clinton won the state?

                How many delegates did Clinton win? How many superdelegates did Clinton win? How many is that total delegates?

                  Bernie won 18 delegates and got 2 superdelegates (20 total). Clinton won 11 delegates and got 6 superdelegates (17 total). Bernie won WV.

                  If you argue that superdelegates are unfair, I agree. There was enough pushback against them that, in 2018, the DNC changed the rules so that superdelegates can’t vote on the first ballot anymore.

                  This is really getting into the weeds, and there are many other ways that the Democrats are not ideal, but none of it changes the fact that allowing Republicans to obtain power is the worst case scenario. We’re seeing how that plays out right now.

                    Where are you seeing that Bernie got any superdelegates or unpledged delegates? I’m seeing that Clinton got 8 and nobody else got any in WV. Meaning that Clinton won the state 19-18 when Bernie won every single county and almost 40k more votes.
