    It’s Happening: Democratic Party Officials to Vote on Eliminating Superdelegates

    http://usuncut.com/news/maine-dem-superdelegates/

    "This proposal comes in the wake of public outcry after Sanders received nearly double the votes of Hillary Clinton in the state’s caucus (64%-35%), but only 1 of the 5 available superdelegates."

    What a joke this rigged system is. How can people not want to see it changed is beyond me.
    Good on Maine, eh?
    For sure!

    And how many of you will run and vote for Clinton when Sanders doesn't get the nomination. And why doesn't Sanders run as a 3rd party candidate?

    No way will I vote for Clinton. No way. Trump will lose so that is not a reason to vote for the lesser of two evils.

    Off topic but do PJ stickers have any value? I have lots that I've collected over the years from various shows.

    hmmmmm...so since I'm sure some of you have claimed HOW important voting is, some of you will skip voting for Clinton because you figure Trump can not/will not win ... correct? So what if all Bernie supporters declined to vote for Clinton ... that might tighten the race up or the unthinkable Trump wins. Either way this is exactly why I don't vote ... it is pretty simple ... the establishment decides who our elected officials are ... your country, its through the primary process, in my country its through party conventions, either way both systems are incredibly corrupt and these systems are why there are so many disenchanted voters out there who don't vote. Your system as well as the system in my country has to change ... IMHO.

    I still think it's worth at least trying to help vote in your chosen candidate but, unfortunately, what you are saying here sound completely correct to me, lukin. But what about voting for state/provincial, county, and local offices where there is less of a chance of the winner being predetermined and what about measure and propositions? Do you not believe they are worth the effort to vote for? And, less important but maybe a consideration, what about voting as a way to exercise the freedom you have to do so?

    Mad late but yes. Show stickers can go for anywhere between $5-$50 depending on the show. Ebay "sold" stickers for specific pricing and check on here and in the pearl jam stickers collectors group on Facebook too. Older stuff from before the show specific stickers like the bomb sticker & angel sticker are highly sought after too.

    Just to back up B-lux here. I heard (on the internet) that the congressional seats up for grabs in this election season are super duper important so we should all go pay attention to those now instead of the Donald.
    Personally I think I'm gonna try to figure out what that means before I worry about whether I'm going to be bullied into voting for Hilary or not as a vote against trump.

    I think it will be a hilarious nightmare to see Trump win because of Bernie supporters sitting out the election.

    Wake up people----yes it is the lesser of two evils, which i despise as much or more as the next person......however the evil that is shaded in orange could easily get us all killed

    It is weird that Obama got so much press against Hillary. It's not like she has changed in eight years.

    Totally bummed that I didn't even know Bernie was going to be in Sacramento (which only an hour away). Probably couldn't have made it with my lower back having gone out big-time this last week but wish I'd at least known. Damn!

    Bernie winning WV is very similar to Clinton winning WV in '08

    It's funny how social media makes Berns more relevant than he actually is - I voted for the guy, but hey, it ain't happening.
