In reply to the discussion: Democrats Are Considering Dropping Superdelegates Altogether [View all]Sophia4
(3,515 posts)All delegates who vote for the presidential candidate at our conventions should be elected by the people in primaries.
Otherwise we stagnate as a party, don't represent our constituents, our voting members and lose elections.
The proof is in the pudding of the elections of past years that we lost.
The Republican philosophy and Party is utterly out of step with the American people and the needs and wishes of Americans, but they win elections because the Democratic Party is even more out of step with voters.
One of the reasons that the Democratic Party does not get its candidates elected is that it is too driven by party apparatchiks, by the bureaucrats and past elected officials of the party.
At least with regard to the nomination of of Democratic Party presidential candidates, it should be Democratic voters and not the Democratic elite represented as super delegates who decide.
Super delegates and the electoral college are undemocratic habits that we need to drop.
