When were superdelegates created?

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.

Why did the Progressives and Dixiecrats bolt from the Democratic Party in 1948?

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.

What is the greatest force for the continuation of poverty in the current democratic capitalistic society?

The greatest force for the continuation of poverty in a democratic capitalistic society is often systemic inequality, which manifests through unequal access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. Structural barriers, such as discrimination based on race, gender, or socioeconomic status, perpetuate cycles of disadvantage. Additionally, the prioritization of profit over social welfare can lead to policies that neglect the needs of the most vulnerable populations. This combination creates a persistent gap between the affluent and the impoverished, hindering upward mobility.
