If you think the Democratic Party as currently run is determined that no progressive will receive the nomination, the DNC and the superdelegates, who get to vote in all but the first round of voting, are the last bulwarks against such an outcome.

In that sense, the whole organization seems focused first on insider jobs and wealth security; winning elections is secondary.
