The Republican Party has superdelegates, too, but they have a lot less power. GOP superdelegates are only about 7% of the nominating vote, and according to Republican convention rules, superdelegates must vote in accordance with their state primary outcomes.
It's in the Democratic Party that the outsized power and lack of accountability of superdelegates is supremely, well, undemocratic.
