and hand the nomination to him over the choice of the majority of primary voters?

that was a long cry from when bernie was telling superdelegates that they must go along with the popular vote and not 'thwart the will of the people' (back in the beginning of the year when he still thought he could win lol).

isnt it weird that bernie allegedly hated superdelegates (even tho he is one lol) but somehow transformed into the only dem primary candidate in modern history who *shamelessly* pushed for superdelegates to be completely anti-democratic and pick a nominee the majority of the party didnt want for the 1st time ever?

the narrative gets a lil awkward when you look at the actual facts and the supposed principles/rhetoric dont match up right? i hate when that happens.

its almost like a politician takes stances...even blatantly hypocritical ones...according to what would benefit them politically. weird.
