Bernie Sanders delivered a simple message Tuesday at a press conference outside his campaign’s Capitol Hill office: The Democratic Party needs to be transformed, and he plans to push for that all the way through the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.Bernie Sanders delivers a message outside his campaign office in Washington, D.C. earlier today.
“We need a person at the leadership at the DNC who is vigorously supporting and out working to bring people into the political process,” Sanders said, before stressing the need for “the most progressive platform ever passed by the Democratic Party. A platform which makes it crystal clear that the Democratic Party is on the side of working people.”
“We also need obviously to get rid of superdelegates,” Sanders said. “The idea that we had 400 superdelegates pledged to a candidate some eight months or more before the first ballot was cast is to my mind absurd. And we need to also make sure that superdelegates do not live in a world of their own but reflect, reflect, the views of the people of their own state.”
