The superdelegate system was designed to keep control of nomination process in the hands of party elite. It’s very undemocratic, and any candidate has a right to protest it if it’s used against them.

Bernie Sanders warns at #CNNTownHall that it will be “incredibly divisive” if a contested convention nominates a candidate who doesn’t have a “substantial plurality” of pledged delegates from the primaries

Not really.

This theory contradicts that of the candidate you endorsed my friend. He and @TulsiGabbard are in favor of the current #SuperDelegate criteria. This would ultimately #RigMatters for @MikeBloomberg and the @DNC, and deny the popular vote. Y'all don't see the play". #ADOSPolitics

Caucuses are undemocratic, too. Only 2.5 percent of delegates have been awarded. It’s not very democratic to announce the nominee when 47 states have yet to vote.

The best example of this was the West Virginia primary in 2016. Sanders won every single county in the State and received fewer delegates than Clinton.

They should not be called super delegates. They should be called anti-McGovern delegates. Bernie is their new McGovern.

It was created after the popular candidate, McGovern, lost 49 states in the 1972 election-- to Pres. Nixon, who presided over the highly unpopular Vietnam War & had already been implicated in Watergate break-in. With his fondness for Castro, etc., Sanders may do almost as bad.

Except this is what Sanders wanted in 2016. Wonder whats changed?
