Superdelegates and regular delegates are members of major US political parties that decide on a viable candidate to run as president on their ticket come the national election in the fall. Once selected, the candidate will go around the country to convince you they make the better choice as president. The media portrays the whole primary/caucus process as essential to democracy but in reality, it is a sham. The voter is not selecting their desired candidate, but a delegate for their state's convention. Here's where it gets crazy. Each state has their own method of handing out delegates to candidates - winner take all, proportional, half-winner/half-proportional, and "F*ck it, we won't have a statewide vote and decide for ourselves at the state convention". Superdelegates are exclusive to the Democratic Party. These are certain national party leaders and VIPs who, in a sense, put their thumb on the scale.

I think in about four or five billion years our sun will consume us like a cold soda on a hot August day.
