One of the largest false premises out there is that somehow, superdelegates have the ability to "give" or "steal" the nomination.

That is False!

The simple fact is that superdelegates are singular people, like you and me, with a singular vote, like you and me.

Lets lay out a simple example and apply the false premise.

A governor's state went majority for Obama. Now the media would say if he votes for Clinton, he's "alienating" his states voters; he's "giving" it to Clinton; he's "stealing" it from Obama. If you were made to believe any of those things right now while you read, you can consider yourself uninformed. If a governor like that was only supposed to vote for the candidate that his constituents voted for in majority, he's nothing but a rubber stamp and the entire "superdelegate" process was never needed in the first place.

It's a simple thing that you probably will not hear or see on tv, and rarely will see on any democratic blog because it's not sexy or controversial. But it's an extremely simple fact.

These people are charged with making up THEIR OWN mind! Imagine that, lmao. They can take any damn thing they want into account just like you or me. Is she too old? Is he too creepy? Is he a doodiehead? Anything they want!

I propose that any superdelegate that tries to claim "I couldnt alienate my constituents by voting counter to them" should be voted out of office immediately, as they have proven they have no spine and are just telling you what they know will go down easy. If they say "I voted for the person that I thought was best", then they are OK in my book, regardless of who they choose.
