Congratulations, Bernie Supporters!

And thanks for turning out like you did, you really thrilled the rest of us volunteering for him in other states.

The super delegate situation is absurd, though, right? DUer bkkyosemite posted an interesting idea: people are contacting their state's super delegates to get them to change their votes to Bernie. It'd make a yuuuuge statement to the rest of the country if you and your friends could get any of your NH super delegates to change!

Here's the master list if you're interested and willing to write, call, FB or tweet the ones in your state/district:

Congrats again -- you rock!!

That'd be fine if their votes aren't included in the tally.... JudyM Feb 2016 #2

if the super-d's fuck us over at the end, maybe we can start some kind of protest redruddyred Feb 2016 #3

Yeah, they sure are. Like they have their own club and voters aren't part of it. JudyM Feb 2016 #4

I want them to simply all vote for whoever wins the regular delegates race at the end. That was the point of having them in the first place, from what I've read, to give a much greater appearance of party unity to whoever wins the will of the people. Not to sway the race to or against anyone during the race itself.

but i figure the most impt thing now is to bring sanders' nat'l polling numbers up. political payback comes later.

recently have been lobbying my candidates over an issue near and dear to my heart, and of course only ayotte's office responds, although i helped get shaheen and hassan elected last cycle. i hope this new progressive wave amounts to something at last: these 3rd way dems are all too comfortable.
