8. the way they count super delegates

Sun May 29, 2016, 07:12 PM

May 2016

is to actually communicate with them and determine who they support. The remaining super delegates are those who have not yet declared. If you don't like the super delegate rules, get them changed. But you're not going to get it done retroactively.
And, as a white person, i can't begin to presume how my black brothers and sisters ancestors lived through, and ultimately survived the horror of slavery. But i'm fairly confident they would not find much of a corollary to the modern day super delegate voting system.
