They changed the rules due to outrage from voters. That said, superdelegates shouldn't exist at all. That the establishment wants to stop Sanders so badly ought to be enough for people from any party to support him during the Democratic primaries at the very least, but people buy into the corporate fearmongering and often fail to participate in primaries when they otherwise could. However, speaking as someone who lives in a small town in Idaho... I went to the 2016 primary here, and it was stunning. There were so many people that you could barely move; it was like being at a packed concert, and the line to get in was several blocks long even hours later. Sanders won 83% of the vote in my district in the primary. In Idaho. In fact, he only lost in one district in Idaho by 2.5 points, and had a massive lead in most other districts. You might not think that's relevant, but it's important to keep in mind that Sanders has been growing his following ever since 2016. He can bag states in the primaries that no other candidate in the primary can appeal to and he's got the raw outreach to actually get people to show up for the primaries, even more so than in 2016. --- Hi ...
