Anybody hear about the Super Delegate Hit List?

It's the list of all the super delegates' contact info compiled by the Sanders campaign. Bernie Bros types and other BSS activists have been using the list to harass and belittle elected Democratic officials trying to get them to flip. I heard some of the recipients on NPR saying they are getting 20 or more calls a day. These people are scary.

My response would be to target Sanders' superdelegates accordingly. It's a much smaller list, after all.

I doubt it will make an impact, though. You can't bully superdelegates into bowing their heads for the candidate who is behind by 2.5 million votes and 250 pledged delegates. Not. Going. To. Happen.

I'm certain the Clinton campaign has been notified, as well.

Right. That's a good way to get them on your side.

These people are off the rails.
