Democrats have all the spontaneity of the House of Windsor. Or, closer to home, they’re closer to what Republicans once were, a party that falls in line not in love.

In 2008 the super delegates were all decided for Clinton. They switched when Obama won the votes.
So? It’s still the DNC keeping a thumb on the scales. It’s a little like saying that because the king was benevolent and listened to the people that one time, the monarchy isn’t flawed and ought to be preserved. If the superdelegates didn’t like Obama, there was never any obligation to switch their votes to align with the will of the voters. And let’s not overlook how massively shitty it is that the DNC is literally trying to pick winners by announcing who they plan to vote for before actual voters cast votes.
I wonder if it’s just a coincidence that they let Obama win and he immediately sold out after running a progressive campaign.
