Democrats delay change to convention superdelegates

[Hortensis]

23. Yurbud, a Democratic Party (!!!) candidate once

tried to use the superdelegate system to overset the popular vote, to set it aside. It is our duty to make sure attempts at election theft like this can never happen.

Further to the subject, though, I hope all understand that NO person who supported that, who didn't immediately disavow that candidate, is qualified to speak on what is democratic and what is corrupt. To put it mildly, what those people supported was intensely corrupt and the very definition of anti-democratic.

ALL honest observers knew claims that state Democratic Parties stole elections were lies. Our parties don't do that, plus all evidence showed that it didn't happen in any state. Dishonest partisans had to carefully avoid the truth that was readily available to pretend it did.

Fortunately, most Democrats were aware and very concerned that THIS could be happening within the Democratic Party, not just on the Republican side, and that we actually had people who so profoundly betrayed the principles of our party, the party of Jefferson, Madison and Lincoln, of democracy itself. An internal weakness we needed to guard against.

And so here we are. All agree our current system needs some adjusting to be both as democratic as possible and as safe against corruption as possible. But we, and that includes you, Yurbud, should also recognize and be proud that it has been working as it should in spite of attempts by ruthless people to exploit its weaknesses to overset the majority of Democratic voters. Surely we can all agree that we need to fix those weaknesses during this current process, and at the same time watch for and scrupulously avoid any attempts to open up further opportunities to corrupt the process?
