Levi Younger, from Eagle River, Alaska, is a recent political science graduate who caucused last Saturday with thousands of other Alaskans. Younger recently reached out to superdelegate Kim Metcalfe on Facebook, asking her to side with her state and support Sanders at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. Metcalfe, who is listed on the Alaska Democratic Party website as the states national committeewoman since 2012, cavalierly told Younger she would be supporting Hillary Clinton, due to her negative conversations with Sanders supporters.
I pointed out how our states caucus had turned out and hoped shed vote for our resounding majority, Younger told US Uncut in an email. Things unraveled pretty quick from there.
As seen by screenshots of Youngers conversation with Metcalfe, Younger approached the conversation with a diplomatic, respectful tone. However, Metcalfe refused to budge in her support of the former Secretary of State despite the popular opinion of the people, only saying she would support Sanders if he was the nominee.
The actual conversation is logged at the link:

(41,600 posts)I wonder how many Super Delegates were threatened by the Clinton machine? My guess...all of them were. We know Bill Clinton likes to threaten and intimidate people.
She was a real piece of work!

Her being a dick & overriding the will of the voters makes me infuriated and that much harder to support Hillary.
It tells me that America is no longer about We the People but instead We the Superdelegates.
