We all want Bernie to win but we should not advocate super delegates giving a middle finger to whichever candidate wins a majority of pledged delegates. If that happens, the nominee would be tainted with all sorts of scars from an undemocratic process that ignored the will of the voters. This is very, very dangerous for the party and its nominee.
