Democrats delay change to convention superdelegates

[Hortensis]

85. Hassin, the discussion is changes to our party rules

for 2018 and the future. What changes are needed, what problems can be solved or created by changes, and why they're needed.

For instance, after what happened with Trump, Koch alliance, Russia and so on in 2016, frankly I think it's in order to question the motives of all knowledgeable people who are agitating to throw our primaries wide open for just anyone to vote, which would, like 2016, include enemies intent on hurting us. That'd not be democracy, that'd be criminal-level stupidity if we went for it.

Fortunately, our people have a good record so far for protecting what needs to be protected and are leading, in fact, this latest round of adjustments to our party rules. Instead of open primaries, the plan seems to be open registration, possibly right up to election days so that late deciders can register Democrat to vote. Yes, some people of hostile intent will use that to breach our walls and try to overset our own choices, but not nearly so many as open primaries would.
