Honestly call or email the Democratic party offices and voice that you one hundred percent agree with Sanders.

    I’m afraid thats not entirely true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdelegate

    It is entirely true. No superdelegate can vote in the initial primary vote.

    They are a private entity and can run primaries however they want.

    Subject to the DNC charter. They are bound by the DNC charter in the same way that the government is bound by the Constitution.

    they successfully argued that they can elect canddates in a smoke filled back room if they so chose

    They argued they could change the DNC charter, which it technically true. The USA how the power to change its Constituion, but it is still bound by it.

      they change that rule as needed every election.

        Nope. Superdelegates were created in the 1980’s. After 2016 it was changed so that they cannot vote in any first round (making them powerless). Nothing has changed since then. This rule will likely still be in effect for the rest of your life.
