Putting the "Super" Back in Super Delegates

2008-06-08T21:29:43Z

From Seth Mooney at AlterNet:

One critical issue of this election season centers on the idea that in a democracy, there is some kind of agreement between the People and the Government, an agreement to which both parties are accountable. The American Government hasn’t been very accountable to its People (or objective reality, for that matter) ever since the democratic process was hijacked in 2000 from voters Florida and at the expense of everyone.

Now, Democratic super delegates are positioned to hijack the democratic process from their own party. In response, Agit-Pop Communications has launched the first in what will hopefully be a series of hip and fact-dense videos on the super delegate problem…

It may seem like a stretch to suggest that a coup-de-tat within the Democratic Party would be as bad as the theft of the Presidency in 2000. That’s certainly farther than Agit-Prop takes the "super delegate Issue" in this slick video. But one sad truth of the matter is that we no longer talk about fact that the election of 2000 was stolen because we understand that the rules of the game allowed for the theft. And it is exactly the same kind of idiotic rules that stand to erase the last traces of democratic electoral accountability from American political life now in 2008.
