Don't let them get what they want: Superdelegates against Sanders.

Writer Shuja Haider examines the anti-democratic politics of the Democratic primary process - if Bernie Sanders enters the Democratic National Convention leading in delegates but without a majority (very possible in a crowded field) then unaccountable elites will exercise their influence, subverting the will of millions of voters,  keeping the nomination under control of a party with no allegiance outside itself.

Shuja wrote the articles The world’s biggest threat to democracy is the Democratic Party and Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they didn’t rig the Iowa Caucus for The Outline.
