Tulsi Gabbard launches petition to end Democratic Party superdelegate process

114. Agreed. The caucus by its structure, supresses those who cannot physically attend

from voting, and they can take several hours to complete. If you are late or unavailable, you cannot participate. It also does not easily allow for your choice to be keep confidential, as a primary, which is a secret ballot.

A different argument applies to open primaries. Why should someone who doesn't associate him or herself with a political party, be allowed to choose who that party's nominee should be? The fact that someone doesn't even want to register as belonging to the political party, but wants to participate in that party's primaries, makes it only more vulnerable to possible political shenanigans.

In my view Super Delegates provide stability to a process that could result
in chaos. Historically, Super Delegates have always sided with the candidate who won the most pledged delegates to put them over the top, if they are slightly short of the required delegates to win the nomination, and reduce the probability that the convention evolves into pure chaos.

Barrack Obama won the most pledged delegates, and the Super Delegates honored that, and he became President.

Hillary Clinton won the most pledged delegates, and the same thing will happen, and she will become President.
