First, the United States has never been a democracy. It's a constitutional democratic republic.
But yes, the super delegates are one of many undemocratic features in presidential primaries. Others are:
Republicans giving blue districts just as much weight as red ones even though they have far fewer Republican voters. A Republican in Illinois 7 probably counts for 10 times what a Republican in Illinois 18 does.
Some states being winner-take-all and others proportional (GOP)
Some states voting earlier than others (California's primary just serves as a rubber stamp to the presumptive nominee while Iowa, New Hampshire, etc. really do the choosing)
