The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has historically manipulated the nomination process to maintain control over candidates who challenge the establishment.

Superdelegates were introduced by the DNC as a mechanism to ensure party insiders have significant control over the nomination process.

The Democratic Party’s nomination process is heavily influenced by superdelegates, making it difficult for insurgent candidates to win.

Insider influence in the Democratic Party prevents candidates like Jesse Jackson from securing the nomination despite popular support.
