yeah I have plenty of gripes with the DNC but having the vice president run in the presidents place when he stepped down is not one of them. Honestly the whole super delegate thing bothers me way more than that one thing.
they changed the convention rules for superdelegate in 2017, now they don't even get to vote for the nominee unless the pledged delegates can't elect a nominee in the first round of voting at the convention. Not that the superdelegates even mattered in 2016, as Hillary won the popular primary vote and had enough pledged delegates.
