Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumNY Times will no longer include super delegates in their count.
I saw this on reddit...so here is the NYT page with delegate counts. WAY different than what is being pushed on the MSM channels.

(11,366 posts)I realize they're probably only doing this because including them was so obviously biased and Berners kept pointing it out every minute of the day on social media, but, hey, at least they're responding to us and the truth.
Tweeted thanks this AM.
Thank you to the OP for sharing.

No more misleading numbers. Hillary can have her honest lead and wait til we're all done voting to try and declare victory.

(105 posts)The establishment candidate is not so inevitable anymore.
Progressives need to start drawing lines in the sand.
Let the ones standing on the wrong side of history have second thoughts.

(3,795 posts)We must demand an end to superdelegates. It must be organized, and it must be demanded.
If the Democratic Party ends the superdelegates as a concession to Sanders supporters, it might help Sanders supporters support Clinton a bit more (should Clinton be the nominee). Some concession is going to need to be made after this hideous Primary.

(32,056 posts)I am a web and phone subscriber. I just sent them an email to thank them for changing the way they are presenting their info. It is a start.
And I told them what I am telling everyone else who will listen:
I am supporting Bernie Sanders. I am continuing to donate to him. And I EXPECT a fair contest. No weighted coin tosses, no more Bill Clinton w/the Bullhorn. No money for the DNC. If shenanigans continue I will be changing my registration to indy and voting Green (not that it matters since I'm in Texas and my county is 3/4 republican, but still).
This after voting for every democratic nominee for president since 1992.
I have had it.

(370 posts)they also say that the supers can switch their vote at any time before the convention and may do that if Bernie ends up with more elected delegates.

(10,751 posts)Thanks to the NYT, and thanks to you for letting us know!
It certainly does look different than what most of the media is reporting, doesn't it? Doesn't look all that insurmountable all of a sudden.
