In reply to the discussion: About the upcoming transition to general election season [View all]pdsimdars
(6,007 posts)I put up a post today which had a point regarding this.
Here is the relevant quote
If a Democratic primary candidate can win 59 percent of the Partys pledged (primary- and caucus-won) delegates or more, the primary is decided by pledged delegates; if a Democratic primary candidate fails to meet that threshold, they are considered by DNC electoral processes to be a weak front-runner and the nomination is finally decided, instead, by superdelegates who can express support for a candidate at any time, but cannot commit themselves to anyone (i.e., cast a binding vote for any candidate) until the Democratic National Convention in July; superdelegates are unlike pledged delegates in this regard because, while pledged delegates also do not vote until the Partys convention, they cannot change their votes from what their states voting results pledged them to be though it has been argued by some that in fact they can change their votes at the Convention, with this argument most recently having been advanced by Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2008.

If you choose to impose your bias on the entire site, you should at least realize that is just what it is, but don't expect people who know better to accept it for anything other than what it is -- authoritarian.
Base your policy on fact or do as you please, and the facts are printed above.
