“Unpledged delegates exist, really, to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don’t have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists,” Wasserman-Schultz explained.
After Bernie Sanders beat Hillary Clinton in the New Hampshire primary by 22%, they were awarded the same number of delegates. Because of the undemocratic “Super Delegates” used by the Democratic Party.
This article explores how that happened, and the purpose of Super Delegates according to DWS. It’s worth a read, and it should make all of us think. I’m not happy about it, at all.
UPDATE: I forgot to mention this is my first diary/story. But you don't have to go easy, I welcome constructive criticism.
