Difficult to read such ignorance.

Then the topic line mentions super delegates. What does that have to do with any of it?

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

IMHO the DCCC is trying to select candidates for political office via their control of money supplied to vendors etc. Super delegates try to select candidates for president in case the voters select someone they feel is not to their liking for one reason or another. Personally i say.. Power to the people.
