QUESTION: What is a superdelegate?ANSWER: Party activists and elected officials who have a vote at the Democratic National Convention that is equal to a single delegate. A candidate for president needs 2,025 to win the nomination. S.C. awards 54 delegates. During the primary, 45 delegates were awarded based on the vote. The remaining nine will be awarded by the state's eight superdelegates and a delegate who will be named later.QUESTION: Why were superdelegates created?ANSWER: The Democratic National Committee created the superdelegates as a quality-control mechanism after George McGovern's failed bid for the presidency in 1972. These delegates are party activists whose job it is to prevent an unfavorable candidate from winning the nomination.QUESTION: Will superdelegates ultimately decide the Democratic nomination?ANSWER: The race is historically close, meaning each delegate counts. Superdelegates do not have to decide until the August convention. Those who have pledged can change their minds. The primary system could decide the nominee before then. The superdelegates could decide to back the candidate who has the most delegates awarded by voters once all the states have held their preference contests. Or the superdelegates could split, which would take the process into unknown territory.QUESTION: What is a superdelegate?ANSWER: Party activists and elected officials who have a vote at the Democratic National Convention that is equal to a single delegate.

The full history of racialism in politics is long and complicated. The short answer is that the democratic party uses race as a tool because it is generally effective in amassing political power for the party.

The Progressives did not bolt from the Democratic Party in 1948. They were actually an increasingly dominant part of the Democratic party in the 1950s and 1960s. The Dixiecrats bolted because the Democratic Party was becoming increasingly race-neutral (i.e. not racist). This alienated a number of southern Democrats (who called themselves Dixiecrats) who felt that their view of the South and the future of the nation could not be properly dealt with by a race-neutral Democratic party.

Because they were rich. They were rich because they came from the right families. This history has Canadians believing that a Canadians status should not be determined by their family or race. Which is why so many Canadians do not agree with the special status of "founding peoples" or laws or treaties that give people special status based on family and race. Of course the rulers of Canada are for the most part rulers and wealthy because of their race and special family status. They fully support laws that give special status and access to Canadian resources based on race and family, so no change any time soon.
Anyone, from any background, status, class, race, gender, country, or religion.
