One thing laid bare this primary: super delegates are superfluous. NIX THEM

Both sides have used arguments that boil down to the very simple fact that super delegates are either undemocratic or superfluous.

They serve no real value. The recent mantra is that they will honor the vote of the people, following the pledged delegate winner. Okay. In that case, there is no need to have 15% of the delegates allocated to them. In fact, there is no point in having them at all if they are nothing more than a pro forma rubber stamp.

Alternatively, they vote without regard to the pledged delegate winner, but on any other standard they choose. For example, following the popular vote of the entire primary, the popular vote of whatever state they are associated with, personal connection to the candidate, the candidate who helped raise campaign funds, the candidate with the highest favorability. Or they are there to thwart the voice of the people if the party leaders feel the people are out of line. Okay. In any of those cases, the super delegates are undemocratic.

Their impotence in most races and potential anti-democratic role in others boils down to a simple and concise point. Get the fuck rid of them.
