It corrects the optics.

Everyone seems to forget, that politics is not just policy on it's own. The actual election process is more akin to sales than anything else. The optics of superdelegates even having the potential to override the will of the people is incredibly poor. Even if it most likely would never have happened, this is a great move.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
