Party membership is limited to the people that work for the party and those elected officials under their banner. The political insiders. The people aren't members of the party. The party isn't there to serve the people and it isn't there to push policy. Political parties in this country are set up to fundraise and win elections. Candidates don't have to hold to the party platform, the hierarchical structure within the party itself doesn't mean shit to the elected officials.

The DNC and the RNC are both private organizations that don't owe shit to the people. I don't like this fact, many people don't like this fact (and many don't realize it), but that is the fact. They could, in all seriousness, change their rules to make it where the committee itself selects their candidate and there isn't boo anyone could say about it.

What you're really saying here is that the DNC is pissed that the thin veneer of democracy in their process was exposed as false, as you explain above; i.e. what the DNC is really mad about is that the curtain got pulled back.  I would point out to those who have tried, and you are obviously not among them, that the RNC put forth a candidate that was literally their last choice and many of their rank and file fought against his nomination tooth and nail.

So you could, very logically and realistically, state that Trump's nomination was a far better example of true democracy than Hillary's.
