This is supposedly "the party of the people", yet they have a system in place that ensures that if the votes of the people do not lines up with the desires of the hyper wealthy party elite, the party elite can change the nominee. The Superdelegate system is such a blatant slap in the face to the common man voter, that I cannot conceive of anyone joining this party who deos not have a shot at being one of the party elite. Furthermore, they oppose field levelling actiosn like enactinga flat tax rate. My guess is that it is becasue the current system allows hidden tax looopholes that the hyper wealthy party elite love.

There are contradcictions everwhere you look in the Democratic Party.
Don't get me wrong, the Republican party has its problems as well, but they seem far less deceptive.
