The Democrats' Problem With Democracy
Wilmer J. Leon III, writing for Truthout, says: "If the Democrats fail to elect their presidential candidate and allow the 'Super delegates' to select him/her in the smoke-filled back rooms at the convention in Denver, the Democrats could create a long-term problem with their base. This, along with the decision to disenfranchise the Democratic voters in Florida and Michigan, could prove to be the Democrats' problem with democracy. In order to understand why the super delegate issue could be a problem, it is important to understand why the rules were created in the first place. For that, you have to go back to the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois."
