2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHere's something that was posted on my congressional
representative's Facebook page by someone who appears to be off track, to say the least.. She's Betty McCollum (MN CD-4), one of the finest progressive members of the House.

I'm sure that screed will influence her vote at the Democratic National Convention in July.

(146,262 posts)She will be a superdelegate and will vote for Hillary Clinton. The Screed on her FB page was written by someone else, not her.
I think you are confused, somehow.

MineralMan
(146,262 posts)Why should I not post what is happening on my representatives FB page?
I imagine similar posts are being made on many superdelegate's pages. I find it very disturbing. I know Betty McCollum. I can't imagine anyone more concerned with progressive values in Congress. She has chosen to endorse Hillary Clinton. That should not lead to such things as that being posted on her FB page.
Perhaps you think it's OK. I don't know.

(9,522 posts)But I don't think elected officials should support someone who the voters in their state do not. It's ridiculous.
Nor do I like OPs that are divisive, or people who say we should unite, but do everything they can to create division in a sneaky way. A lot of that goes on here.
Live Bait
(93 posts)Keith Ellison only gets mad props from me for taking the balls and getting the vote out in MN as well as MI (I heard Ellison was a big help with the Arab-American communities)
MineralMan
(146,262 posts)I expect every superdelegate is doing that. I don't expect any of them to change their minds, either.
MineralMan
(146,262 posts)have endorsed Hillary as traitors? Really?
Live Bait
(93 posts)They aren't following their voters' intent.
MN is Bernie's, and the superdelegates should follow suit.
MineralMan
(146,262 posts)and the others listed are traitors? How bizarre...traitors...
Uff da!

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
In answer to the post asking if someone who called a congressional rep a traitor was right, this post is the answer. After being asked, this poster clearly agrees that she is a traitor. Over the top, and then some.
