Superdelegates: What's the argument for/against?

[Wounded Bear]

13. There were several causes that got Trump into the White House...

including things like voter apathy. The EC may have enabled the Trump and the Repubs to game the system, but I don't consider it a major cause of it. It ranks behind voter apathy, electioneering, and Russian meddling IMNSHO.

For all the rhetoric, there are valid reasons for the EC. Even as a proud citizen of a blue coastal state, I can understand how the less populous heartland states would hate a purely democratic process. It won't be easily changed and any real attempt to circumvent it would probably not pass muster, even in a fair Supreme Court.

I don't disagree about lobbyists participation. That is a part of it that should be cleaned up, but the entire government needs that, not just the Democratic Party.
