But to Larry's original question - if you're a democrat, this is why your vote doesn't mean as much as it should in the primaries.

Accident?
The Democratic caucus requires 50% to win the nomination, without the system of super delegates there would be no way to ensure this would happen if you had three strong candidates.
They set their own rules just as the GOP does. If a Democratic voter doesn't like how the system is managed they are
free to choose another party.
You appear to be basing assumptions on ideological talking points and not observation, regardless of how often you insert the word "fact".
