Do you support the existence of unelected "superdelegates" having a say in who our candidate is?

39. Profoundly disagree. How can any of you watch what

is happening in this election on both sides and imagine that democracy is a sham simply because it is not pure and perfect?

Neither party has chosen these candidates, and neither can control the outcome. Right-wing plutocrats probably haven't completely given up somehow buying a choice of their own into the White House, but the top of the GOP ticket has so far resisted all attempts by them and the GOP establishment to gain control of/from the people.

And, yes, although I want some tweaking of the Democratic Party's electoral procedures, this year I support the superdelegate system which adds some degree of stability and safeguarding against what can obviously go horribly wrong. Just look to the right.

I don't want to believe Trump would have been nearly as successful if he had elbowed Sanders out of the way and run as the left's anti-establishment candidate, but who knows? I do know that he could easily have been our problem, instead of the GOP's, and that we can never be a party that would allow a dysfunctional, profoundly ignorant and completely unprincipled person like that, the very definition of a fool, to get within reach of the White House.
