It was incredibly anti-democratic. The superdelegate system is designed to stop democracy from occurring in the party and ensure the candidate is picked by big donors.

If he's feeling betrayed, want till he learns how most democrats feel about his leadership.
Until the next one. The republicans are a looming existential threat that senior democrats do not take seriously, nor do they know how to fight.
I hope we all remember the senior democrat leadership closing ranks to keep meaningful change (sanders) out during the last primary.
Joe's got to go.
Then remember as well that the Dems had ample opportunity to ban conversion camps and they didn't do it either.
If the only options are large genocide and larger genocide. I'm sorry, they don't have my vote.
You plan the jump first asshole, and they don't have a plan.
The political system right now is simply good cop and bad cop.
Bad cop(republicans): i'll shoot you.
Good cop(Democrats): vote for me, I'm your only choice to stop him from shooting you (but it's in my best interests to let him threaten you forever, so you'll vote for me)
Both will forever suck. Both are fascists. We need better options
Which is why it is so essential we get it right. And the fact there's even discussion about it means Biden's the wrong guy for the job.
Any participation in the discussion helps. Otherwise we stagnate with 80 year old leadership and end up here again in 4 years.
It's funny cause, that's on them to find a better candidate
Oh no, there's blame there. But you can't punish them for it. We can and should make it known to democratic leadership how impotent they've been and how badly they've been doing their jobs.
That's part of the democratic process. An important one too.
He should never have run. He was a transitional candidate.
