10. Superdelegates serve an important function, but their roles should be revised.

My own list of thoughts,

Super's should be assigned prior to the campaign season beginning, but should be prohibited from declaring their support until after the last primary election is concluded.

If it's an election between only 2 primary candidates.. Majority of pledged delegates should be the call for the election. Supers play no role in the convention.

If the election is between 3 or more candidates, then superdelegates come into play, and can start declaring their support after the last primary is concluded.

Also, all closed primaries elections. No open, no caucus. You want to vote for the Democratic Party candidate, you declare for the Democratic party. I'm also okay with this rule not going into effect until 2024 election process, that way it can't be called a measure specifically for Clinton.
