Related: About this forumBernie Sanders' supporters are fighting back, but they might be hurting his campaign
Shawn Bagley thought he knew what he was getting into when he was elected to become one of Californias so-called superdelegates to the Democratic National Convention, and energetic debate with other activists was part of it.
What Bagley had not anticipated was being jolted out of bed by a 2 a.m. phone call from an angry Bernie Sanders supporter. The caller accused Bagley, a retired produce broker from Salinas, of stealing democracy from the citizenry.
Why is Bernie Sanders letting these people loose on us? said Bagley, a Hillary Clinton backer who says he was branded corrupt, immoral and thickheaded over the course of some 200 social media posts and phone calls from Sanders fans. He lost my vote at 2 a.m.
Sanders supporters are known to be a spirited bunch. But as their frustration mounts over their candidates failure to significantly cut into Clintons lead, no small number of them are lashing out in ways that are not particularly helpful to his campaign.
