It's repugnant to the democratic ideals we are suppose to cherish and represent. We elect our legislators and governors and DNC reps as our proxies, but sometimes while acting in that capacity, they commit a breach of trust. In law, this would be considered a violation of their fiduciary duty to put our needs first, ahead of their self interest. It's no different than these high ranking officers of large public corporations who give themselves audacious benefits and powers which are an affront to their duties to their constituents - their shareholders. Except this is much, much worse.

If they are going to allow superdelegates to control the outcome of the nomination process, then they might as well change the name to something that doesn't have Democratic in the title. Call it the Superdelegate Party, because Democratic is a false and misleading title.
