(174,482 posts)My opinions are based on the fact that I live in the real world and understand the process. I have run and was elected as a pledged delegate and your posts show that you have no idea as to how the process works in the real world. I have been to several state conventions and will be attending my county's convention next weekend. Right now I am planning on going to the next state convention. In the mean time, I am working to help turn my state blue and will be working on voter protection efforts both for the primary runoffs in May and the general election. The real world is a nice place and I like living in the real world and working in the real world.
As for super delegates, most of these are elected officials such as members of Congress and Senators who are representing the party. There is nothing corrupt or wrong with these individuals being super delegates in the real world. I trust persons like John Lewis to stand for the values of our party. Other super delegates are party chairpersons and vice-chairpersons. Running a state party is a hard and thankless job. I am friends with both the Chair and Vice chair of Texas state party and I have no problem with these people being super delegates.
Please get out into the real world. Go to a state convention. If you are unable to be elected as a delegate, then go as a visitor. See how the process works in the real world.
I understand that your feelings were hurt because super delegates did not support your candidate. Your hurt feelings are not a good reason to change the system
