What is "The will of the people"?

Feb. 20 2020

Sanders response in the debate to who should get the nomination if no one gets a majority of delegates, which has not changed since the 2016 election, is an example of why I don't like him.

SANDERS: Well, the process includes 500 super-delegates on the second ballot. So I think that the will of the people should prevail, yes. The person who has the most votes should become the nominee.

This is EXACTLY the way Trump & his supporters claim that "the people" elected him.

Sanders is getting about 25% - 30% of the primary vote. This is far below what Trump got in the republican primaries, where he also did not get a majority. It's below what Trump got in the popular vote.

This is an example of why we need runoffs, which we have for primaries in Georgia. "The will of the people" should mean a majority.
