Intervene on the unfair super delegate voting within the Democratic Party for the 2016 presidential primaries

Created by S.O. on April 12, 2016

This petition is to call on the current president, Barack Obama, to intervene and communicate with the 2016 super delegates of the Democratic Party. We ask the president addresses the unfair advantage given to Hillary Clinton by super delegates who vote against their own community's popular vote. The current super delegate count is Clinton (469)- Sanders (31). The two candidates have been neck-and-neck with regular delegates and it is only fair to Bernie if Clinton isn't given the count of super delegate votes since Bernie is also a hard-earner. Considering the super delegates can still change their vote, we ask that Obama addresses this as "undemocratic" and "oligarchic." The suppression of the people's voice stops with this petition.
