Senator Sanders has been a very successful candidate in most of his elections. He knows how things work from local to federal, however, he needs to speak to the DNC and ask the national organization to make it clear there are open opportunities to win Superdelegates.
The DNC has a responsibility to the Sanders' constituents, otherwise, the will be angry after the convention that is only about five months away and they will be estranged rather than engaged. They need the opportunity to recruit the Superdelegate.
It is wrong by every definition to laugh at innocence.

...Superdelegates are party bigwigs (click here) — 712 Democratic leaders, legislators, governors and the like. They can vote for any candidate at the nominating convention, regardless of whether that candidate won the popular vote. These unpledged delegates make up 30 percent of the 2,382 delegates whose votes are needed to win the nomination, and could thus make all the difference.The status of Hillary and Bill Clinton as senior figures in the Democratic Party has allowed Mrs. Clinton to secure public endorsements from many more superdelegates than Mr. Sanders. Late last year, The Associated Press surveyed 80 percent of the Democratic superdelegates and found that 359 had endorsed Mrs. Clinton, versus eight for Mr. Sanders. The rest remained uncommitted....
These young voters were abandoned as they worked diligently to achieve the education they were so invested to achieve. Are they going to be abandoned again? They need a place in this democracy. Their issues aren't simply politics.
The race for the Democratic Party nomination (click here) should be decided by who gets the most votes, and not who has the most support from party insiders.
