I don't mean to be unkind, but Elizabeth Warren is straight-up lying. As if Bernie Sanders himself had the power to write the rules himself. And there's no way in Hell he would have advocated for superdelegates to overtake the will of the voters.

He won 22 states and was arguing for the Superdelegates from those states to go along with the will of the voters in those states.

No, he was arguing for MORE than just those delegates to support him, so he would win. That was his victory strategy by the end. As it was the Superdelegates went with national vote winner. If they’d been divied up by state like Electoral College Sanders still would have lost.

Superdelegates didn’t “go with the national vote winner”. They are divided amongst states and declared for Clinton before their respective primaries were even held.

Superdelegates are not "divided among states" Most of them are superdelegates because of some office related to their state, like being a former governor or congressman, and obviously they all live in a state, but they're not "assigned to states"
