First, every one of the SD's hold their position because of an election. Governors, Senators, Representatives, and the President and Vice President were elected to those positions. Party leaders, meaning state chairs and vice chairs were elected within their state central committee. State DNC members were elected at state conventions by state delegates. Past Presidents, DNC Chairs, and former congressional leaders had held major elected positions. A form of emeritus staus.
Second, the Democratic National Convention is a DNC (Democratic National Committee) function. It is a Democratic Party organization and it is their event. It would be ridiculous to hold an event and not include their own members. That would be undemocratic. If anyone is not a Democrat and more importantly not involved as an activist in the Democratic Party they should not have a say in the party's organization.
It amazes me how little these people know about the Democratic Party and what it is and what it is not.
