In reply to the discussion: Democrats Are Considering Dropping Superdelegates Altogether [View all]murielm99
(30,733 posts)The people cited in the article have long standing ties to the Democratic party. They have gone to work as lobbyists after running for office or holding office. They are still Democrats, who hold with the principles of our party. I find article slanted.
I could cite the same article and make objections to it because so many people being considered as super delegates have ties to Bernie Sanders, who is not a Democrat. Sanders and his people are the ones who made the big stink about super delegates. The system works just fine.
The problem is caucuses. We need to get rid of those. The states that have them are mostly fine with them because they are cheap. They do not want to have to pay for primaries, which cost more. Maybe more state parties will have to consider paying for primaries themselves.
