These delegates often change their support and it always coincides with the popular vote.
Should this process be changed? Yes. But not because it fucks one candidate over another. But because it gives ammunition to the other party and people that do not understand the process (see this thread).

i agree that in the end game superdelegates haven't decided a race but i disagree that the superdelegate is not worth discussing. it's entire creation was to ensure people like Bernie Sanders never ever win. i think what we will see going forward is the more that the establishment tries to squash Bernie, the more supporters he will gain. the more Hillary and the DNC align against him, the more voters he will gain. will it be enough, maybe.
