Ask YC.news: Are superdelegates democratic (in online communities)?

As the election cycle is making clear. people more involved in party politics could potentially have a disproportionately important vote at convention time. Rather than use this as an opportunity to debate the U.S. political process, I'd like to consider the ramifications for online communities, including this one. Should folks get a greater voice if they are more invested? Would they help to stem the influence of community drift that we've seen at places like reddit? Why shouldn't we listen to people we trust more by virtue of their involvement?
