Samantha Bee - What the Hell Are Superdelegates? has been added as a related post - related requested by PlayhousePals on that post.

While I agree, the tactics mentioned here may be heavy handed, there's certainly something seriously wrong with the fact that 90% (+-) of 'super delegates' are announcing they will vote for Clinton, but she has less than 55% of the actual VOTE.
It may not be appropriate to accost them outside their homes and hotel rooms, but it certainly IS appropriate to tell them clearly and repeatedly that if they go against the will of the people in this way, they will all be voted out of office.

In Washington, over 70% of the vote went to Sanders....and so far 100% of 'super delegates' have pledged for Clinton. That won't stand, and it is going to cost the Democrats just for trying.

If Sanders was poison to the party in the general election like Trump, this might make sense...but he's NOT. He's BETTER than Clinton in all polls against ALL republican candidates. The only thing that makes sense is they've been paid by Clinton (or her campaign, or the party leaders she's beholding to) to say they're for Clinton to try to make her lead look overwhelming in order to dampen enthusiasm for Sanders. If they actually vote the way they're pledged, the Democratic party will be self destructing just like the Republicans are, because Bernie supporters aren't supporting him because he's a democrat, most support him despite the fact that he's in either party....and those people WILL vote against any of those elected 'super delegates' that vote against the clear will of the people. Those people also mostly won't vote for Clinton...so the whole plan to make her the nominee is doomed to failure from the outset, she absolutely can't win without Sanders' supporters, and she absolutely won't win most of them over.

Upvote for the information and presentation, she's always good.

But I've got to push back against the standard defense that superdelegates "have never upset the will of the people." First of all, that's never out of the entire 6 dudes they've nominated since superdelegates were invented, and how many of those times was it close enough for them to actually change the outcome?

And the fact superdelegates publicly declare (nonbinding) support for candidates is a clear attempt to sway the course of the election. I have no doubt that the appearance that Clinton is far ahead is demoralizing to some people who would otherwise go out and vote for Sanders if they knew how close the race really is.

Finally, I don't really trust them not to override the voters this time, as Sam does. Keep in mind Sanders is a lifelong independent who only joined the democratic party last November, while Clinton has been earning friends and supporters among the democratic establishment for decades.
