1. A non-binding resolution is a "win" for BS?

What about one calling for the end to undemocratic caucuses? Oh wait, the BS'ers don't really have problems with "undemocratic", if it favors them.

6. Yeah, the BoB crowd only opposes undemocratic structures when they don't favor Bernie.

Caucuses are what allowed him to be a nationally relevant candidate at all, so they're good despite being textbook voter suppression. After all, the people whose votes were suppressed by caucuses mostly wouldn't have voted for Bernie.

2. A non-binding resolution asking national Democrats to abolish super delegates...

WSAW-TV 7 is more than a little misleading in creating titles.

3. I'd bet the repugs wish they had super delegates. They don't so now they're stuck with Trump.

For those who don't know the reason why there are super delegates, that's why.

4. Another meaningless resolution

Like the resolution adopted in Texas, this resolution is meaningless unless the DNC decides to change the rules which is not likely. Super delegates are provided for in DNC and each states' Delegate Selection Plan. The DNC has absolute approval of each states Delegate Selection Plan and I doubt that super delegates are going to be eliminated.

5. This is where Sanders' priorities lie? What a waste of energy he is.

7. They will not be removed unless the DNC passes a motion to do so

These individual expressions of opinion on superdelegates are irrelevant, as the state parties cannot compel policy changes.
