A Tweet by Sam Levine at the link Gothmog linked to.
Same point is made about having super delegates in the Democratic Party. Their votes dilute the value of the votes of people who participated in the democratically run primaries or caucuses.
Just a point I want to make.
Preventing people from voting dilutes the value not just of their potential vote but of other voters who would vote as they do. And adding voters to the sum of voters because they are likely to vote a certain way, say for the Party's preferred candidate, is just as undemocratic because it dilutes the votes of the people.
We should not laugh too hard because we are members of a Party that allows super delegates and is having a hard time giving up the ability to dilute votes in primaries and caucuses with the super delegates.
The honor of being a super delegate is probably very hard to resist even if it does dilute the value of the votes of those elected to serve as delegates.
