Yeah, this'll flip a superdelegate.

NOTE: I'm not sure it's even legal to talk about the campaign in a Federal government office.


A Bernie Sanders supporter was arrested Thursday during a protest against U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott’s refusal to shift his vote as a Democratic superdelegate from Hillary Clinton to Sanders.

Wesley Irwin, one of the organizers of the Thursday protest, said the arrest had been planned as an act of civil disobedience. Sanders supporters have been angry over the refusal of superdelegates to back him, despite the Vermont senator’s big win in Washington’s caucuses last month.


The woman arrested was among a group of about a dozen Sanders supporters who showed up at McDermott’s Seattle office to demand a meeting with the longtime Democratic congressman, who is retiring this year.

Irwin said Sanders supporters feel stonewalled by McDermott, who has not agreed to a meeting despite two other visits by activists to his office. This time, he said, the congressman’s staff told the group the superdelegate issue was a campaign matter and therefore inappropriate to discuss at his official office.

The most vile posts of the campaign on Democrats and HRC have come since Bernie was crushed and embarrassed in NY. They know they don't have much time to get their shots in before the enforcement of TOS.
