Superdelegates another Dysfunctional Liberal Fix
By J.R. Dunn

excerpts

The most striking thing about the Democrat’s superdelegate fiasco is how typical it is of liberalism. If modern liberalism — the style of liberalism that has existed since FDR’s New Deal — is characterized by anything, it’s the fixation on addressing “problems” with massive, grotesque, Rube Goldberg schemes that simply don’t work.

(One result of this setup is that it makes the reactionary, authoritarian GOP far more democratic than the Democrats themselves, but who would ever bring that up?)

the article from American Thinker

There’s a Shakespearean phrase for the Democratic Party’s dilemma: “Hoist with his own petard” — that is, being blown up with your own landmine.
