(10,622 posts)There should be no "sueperdelegats", but, if they are to exist until we can finally do away with them.
47 of them should not be registered lobbyists (yes, I know some lobbyists are lobbying for good goals rather than corrupt corporations, but they are a very small percentage among them, most are just hired to buy influence for corporations, this should be common knowledge to anyone here)
One should also remember that the supposed reasoning for having them, was to avoid having a nominee that will lose the General election, I would prefer you look it up yourself, but that was the rationale for having them in the first place.
Knowing this, one must realize that they are not there simply to vote exactly as the people vote, were that the case they would serve no purpose at all, and would not even exist.
Learn your party history, it will help put things in perspective.
All that said, I'd prefer a UN style and UN monitored election system that can be validly said to be almost impossible to corrupt, my idea should appeal with most democrats big D democrats as it is usually the Republicans that resort to election fraud to win, and all small d democrats, because election fraud is the anti-democracy.
Unfortunately however, by using the same metric as the UN and even the US (regarding other countries), we appear to have gone bipartisan on the election fraud issue as exit polls are used to help determine if fraud is happening and anything above a 4 point deviation between the two is considered a strong sign that tampering is going on.
