Bernie Sanders says he will vote for Hillary Clinton in November

85. He wants a platform that would benefit him, if he were to run again.

Which obviously, due to his age, he won't. He wants to get rid of super delegates and have only open primaries.

I strongly disagree with open primaries. His supporters could have bothered to find out the voting regulations of their states and joined the party ahead of the primaries. Why should anyone who doesn't belong to a party be allowed to decide on who that party's nominee should be? The hell with that!!! Have some skin in the game and join a party, if they want to vote in a primary.

As for the super delegates, I can take them or leave them. Since their implementation in 1984 they have never subverted the will of the people. The candidate who ended the primary season ahead in pledged delegates became the nominee. Sanders acts as if they didn't exist he would have won the nomination. In reality, it wouldn't have made any difference. Hillary is ahead by more than triple the pledged delegate advantage that Obama had in 2008, aside from having 3.7M more votes than Sanders.

Bottom line, I don't get why he thinks that he has the right to attempt to change the party's platform. Hillary didn't make similar demands in 2008, and Obama was only ahead by 102 pledged delegates. If he really wants to advocate against voter suppression, then he should demand that caucuses be eliminated. They are the most undemocratic process of them all.
