Those proposals are as follows, given in the order Sanders presented them.
- Get new leadership at the Democratic National Committee.
- Approve “the most progressive platform ever passed” at the Democratic convention in July.
- Enact “real electoral reform” within the Democratic Party.
- Get rid of superdelegates.
If you don’t live in D.C., it’s sort of easy to forget that Sanders offered his list on the last day of voting in the Democratic primary. As promised, Sanders stuck with the race until the voting was done, which it was by 9 p.m. Tuesday night. On Thursday, he’s hosting a video chat with supporters, during which, one assumes, he’ll concede the race to Hillary Clinton. While the eventual outcome of the contest has been obvious for a long time, Sanders’s campaign had insisted that they would spend the next month trying to convince superdelegates to switch to their side and thereby gain a majority of the delegates up for grabs. This was never going to happen and is not currently going to happen, for a variety of reasons, including that Clinton won more votes, pledged delegates and, if you care about such things, contests.
