yeah i guess i need to sort of backtrack on what i've said a little bit and get a little more nuanced, because nothing is ever cut and dry.

for one thing - i haven't said i was against coalitions in a second ballot. i'm honestly not sure how i feel about that without voter preference data. but i'm more open to that certainly than superdelegates getting the decision.

if we hit a 25 - 24 - 23 or similar scenario, then yeah, some kind of conversation needs to be had. and that conversation needs to include the clear biases of the superdelegates.

i don't have a solution to this. i can't tell you what the fair thing to do here would be, or what i even would want to happen because every option seems kinda bad at this point.

we just have to motivate as much voter turnout as we can and hope we don't get to that point.

more than anything i'm just very frustrated by candidates that demonstrably have no path to victory in the primary *or* the general sticking around simply because there's a chance they can swing a win in the second ballot. it's really, really infuriating.
