Related: About this forumIf Bernie was leading in SuperDelegates
but behind Hillary in Pledged delegates, and with the superdelegates he would win the nomination, would he disqualify himself because superdelegates are undemocratic?
If the answer is no, I am seriously disturbed by the hypocrisy

The fact that he's been talking about SDs giving it to him is all the hypocrisy you need.

1. Superdelegates are EVIL and UNDEMOCRATIC and it's UNFAIR that so many of them support Hillary!
2. OK, Hillary has clinched a majority of delegates chosen in primaries and caucuses but I can still win the nomination because the SUPERDELEGATES might sensibly choose to override the will of the voters!
