Is it fair that Super Delegates are voting for Hillary regardless of the people's choice for Bernie?

The head of the DNC, Debbie Wassermann-Schultz said the following in response to the question with responses from Hell-ary's and Bern-out's campaigns:
"In February of 2016, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chair of the Democratic National Committee, was asked by CNN's Jake Tapper, "What do you tell voters who are new to the process who say this makes them feel like it's all rigged?" Schultz's response was, "Superdelegates exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don't have to be in a position where they are running against grass-roots activists." This clarification was hailed by Clinton supporters as a wise policy to maintain steady, experienced governance, and derided by Sanders supporters as the establishment thwarting the will of the people."

Democrats must love Super delegates, because they keep voting Democrat. Besides, DNC chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz clearly told the world that the super delegates are there to protect the Democrat establishment from YOU... The grass roots. We reap what we sow....

I don't think anyone should support a woman who fail to follow proper procedures with classified information, lied, and obstruct the investigation by wiping out her hardrive. It is absolutely deplorable for anyone even to consider to support hillary especially when she has blood of four Americans serving and representing our country and boldly lied to their families and to the nation.

The Democrats are behaving undemocratically? What a shock!

It is not fair, it is an embodiment of cronyism. It's a fact that the RNC has a primary election system more resistant to power-hording and tampering than the DNC.

What say you CPT L S ? Does this smack of the Oligarchy you so often rail against? The Democrats having 794 "Superdelegates" who can vote any way they want, regardless how their district, or State goes, out of 4763 total delegates? Doesn't this bypass the "democracy" you so often laud? I'm looking forward to your position on this, (and your predictable insinuation as to how the GOP is to blame for this departure from democracy, in favor of the Democrat party Oligarchy).

Point of information here.. the Republicans use 3 "Superdelegates" per State, and theirs have to vote the way their State goes. Sounds a lot more "democratic" than the Democrat party process, does it not?

Sucks when you work hard for something just to have some bureaucrat take it away and give it to someone who didn't earn it huh. I kind of find it to be poetic justice myself...

It's not about "fairness." It's about using the System as designed.

Just like the Electorial System is not about "fairness" compared to the Popular Vote.

The Super-Delegate system is designed to protect against "grass-roots movements" and serve the interests of the Democratic Party. That said, we must remember that Sen. Sanders is NOT a Democrat. He is an Independent who votes "with" Democrats (now affiliated since Presidential Run).

Should "anyone" be allowed to run under a Political Party if they have never actually been a member of said party? Should they be able to leverage the influence & monetary benefits of the Party?

Each party makes their own rules for choosing candidates, but having the most important delegates being able to choose where they go regardless of the way the party votes seems counterproductive; seeing as how it's supposed to be about picking who the voters want instead of the party old guard.

You'd get a different answer to "fair" say 30-40 years ago. It's still the "party" candidate, hopefully as far as the party bosses are concerned (same for GOP trying to tamp down Trump). Fairness has little to do with it but control has everything to do with it. The Democratic Party opened everything up in 68. The party bosses subsequently freaked because they lost control and were "worried" (code for we know better) that the process was a free for all. So the clamps got put back on so now super delegates make up about 20% of the electorate. They come more into play on 60/40 or closer pledged delegate results if you're talking two candidates. So in reality, the system is "mostly fair" except for the party having a direct 20% vote. Although I don't think the super delegate thing will come into play this cycle, but it would be interesting to see the scenario where Bernie gets say 55/45 of the people and then the party says we know better so Hillary's the nominee the party will put forward on the ballot. I would expect that would so offend enough Dems and Independents, they'd make the party suffer by voting GOP. Then the party will go into freak mode again and the cycle will repeat itself.
