FFS! I am tired of reading this S***

50. it is not an aversion to letting voters decide. We have already voted in our primaries

and caucuses and each state's delegate points will reflect those votes. If the nominee is decided after 1 round of voting, then it's done and superdelegates will not have had any say. They are not pledged, so there is no guarantee all of them will vote for the same person if they even do get to vote.

I am a member of NFDW by virtue of being a member of my local Democratic Woman's club; I am also a member of the Texas Democratic Women. We work hard to raise money for Democratic Women who will be on our local ballots in November. If I were involved enough to seek leadership positions in NFDW, I could conceiveably be a super delegate. My state Democratic chair is a superdelegate.

The national presidents of every grassroots organization may be super delegates.

Texas's delegation will be pledged to candidates according to the percentages in the primary. Some states are winner take all after the primary. SO it is a toss right now as to how those votes would play out. If Joe takes 40% of TX and Bernie takes 40% and Warren takes 20% then that is how our vote will go down on the first round. We have 261 total delegates of which 33 are unpledged or SuperDelegates. If it goes to a second round, then those 33 can join in and the whole delegation will vote again. We will know more after our primary March 3.

Super delegates are not evil people they are people who have worked hard within the party or as elected officials and should not have to compete for a voting seat at the convention in my opinion.
