How to fix the superdelegate mess.
It's very easy.

(1) Superdelegates, recuse yourself from voting for a nominee. Let the people decide.

(2) After the election, abolish this superdelegate nonsense. It's ridiculous that some individuals have so much power.

(3) States and DNC, get your acts together. We cannot afford another Florida-Michigan fiasco.

1. Super delegates should decide right after the last state has voted

2. I think they should do away with all delegate votes and just
have popular votes. I also think that caucus's should be done away with. It looks like there too much room for rigging and also, they have limited hours which leaves alot of people out and all should have the opportunity to vote.

4. what super delegate mess? Its part of the precious rules...
the same rules that are currently disenfranchising the voters in FL and MI. If the party, the states and nominees don't get their acts together and figure out a way to give a voice to those millions I don't care who the super delegates vote for - I won't vote in the general. Fair and accurate elections are paramount to anything else and if the democratic party hasn't learned anything from 2000 I say screw'em.
