Or if he Democratic Party dint rig their primary for an unelectable candidate out of nepotism. Given how many young trump voters couldn't even vote because they hadn't pre-registered, I think it's much more a clinton problem than a young voter problem :p Sanders, or pretty much anyone else, could have cleaned this up so easily by just sticking to script and letting donald sink himself in drama >.> | ||

This is how we dealt with brexit. "Welp we're fucked, lets get some popcorn and watch the world explode." Here's hoping the DNC have a slightly more successful and stable lurch to the left than labour managed in england. | ||

American politics shift in decades not an election. The newer Politicians will be more left, but it'll take 20 years for the to filter their way to a majority of a party. | ||

Even though I dislike him if Bernie had a bit of backbone he would`ve won. Trump showed us you can win despite the party being against you. | ||

Trump showed us you can win despite the party being against you. The democratic party candidates are not won by popular vote or even population based state delegates. The DNC ensures that the parties preferred candidate wins with superdelegates. Had the super delegates (members of the party, or sitting elected officials of the party), sided with sanders he would have won nomination over Clinton. The republican party has 150 Superdelegates, a maximum of 3 per state. The democratic party has 714. It's not something you can just DO in the democratic party anymore. they ensured that in order to prevent the public from demanding a candidate that can't win in the general election, so they change much more slowly because they aren't forced to change their politics to account for voters at nearly the same rate. There are 4765 Democratic Delegates, ~4000 of them are pledged based on their states rules, either winner take all or proportional, depends on the state. 714, of them vote "independently" but their aim is always to bolster the party candidate. You need 2382 Delegates to win. If the superdelegates opt for Candidate A, then that candidiate is 30% of the way to election. They only need to maintain a 41% popular vote across the nation, or rather, need to get 41% of remaining delegates, whether through candidate endorsements or popular vote to essentially guarantee election as a party candidate. Getting a super majority is incredibly unlikely in a primary, especially for an outsider. Donald Trump had a 44.9% popular vote and won, Bernie would likely require either a great showing in winner takes all states, or 61% popular vote to ensure a victory over a party candidate. The two parties have different systems, Trump took advantage of the republican party system. | ||
