    They should have, but it probably wouldn’t make a difference. The superdelegates controlled the nomination.

      Not in 2020, the DNC changed the rules after 2016 so they don’t get a vote unless no one wins on the first ballot, and Biden won on the first ballot. Biden straight up just got more votes than Bernie in 2020

        Hillary straight-up got more votes than Bernie in 2016 as well. To my (and in retrospect, the entire nation’s) regret.
