A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

In the whole history of DNC's existence, there was, as far as I remember, two instances of DNC choosing a candidate against popular vote. One was more than a century ago nobody remembers nobody cares, and another one was when they chose Obama even though he lost almost a percent. And that turned out to be actually a good and correct decision.
When Hilary, was nominated, both times Biden was nominated, it was always aligned with a popular vote. We don't know what superdelegates would've done, but what we know is that so far they do exactly what democratic party voters want them to do. If you want them to do something else, and god fucking knows we all do, you can start by actually showing them that.
Either there is not enough people agree with your desires, or enough of them do and they don't do anything about it. In both cases DNC isn't a problem, you are.
