Bernie supporters: We need to go after the Super Delegates

Facebook. Twitter. Letters, phone calls, emails, public appearances, anyone got an old fax machine somewhere?

They need to hear the message loud and clear that they are risking their positions if they support Sec Clinton in spite of the will of the people.

With continued hard work and enthusiasm, Sen Sanders can overcome the voted delegate deficit. But to gain the nomination, we have to flip a good chunk of the Super Delegates.

Very civil! But a statement that they would switch if he wins more pledged would be great to get. pat_k Mar 2016 #3

Every attempt to reach out by us Bernie supporters seems to get painted as harassment.

We need to be the grownups. We need enthusiasm and an appeal to the future. We DON'T need "you big fat poopyhead" politics.

If it's undemocratic shouldn't we be able to abolish it? Make it illegal? Have we no power other than asking nicely? Aren't we the owners of this country? Maybe the revolution should start now in the overhauling of the process. Where's our lawyer?
