6. I beleive if we let activists decide the nomination...
we may very well get the most progressive candidate, but not necessarily the best candidate for the party, the one that can win in the GE. In addition, it is difficult for many that would like to be more active to participate. A lot of workers simply do not have an hour to spare. As the Democratic party we should create the system that allows the most Democrats to participate, not just those with spare time. In fact, that was the primary reason super delegates were created. Also, primaries should be absolutely closed. No republicans or independents should be picking the Democratic nominee.
