What was your goal behind the “Superdelegate Hit List?”

The superdelegate system is rigged to protect establishment politicians and shut down populism. Superdelegates by their very nature diminish the value of the vote by giving an elite constituency of representatives, party leaders, and even lobbyists extra power. The Superdelegate List exists to help voters challenge this undemocratic system. Contacting our elected representatives and party leaders and holding them to account is an American tradition. This is the only way to keep the voter base from being patronized or ignored.

What affects do you think your site has or will have? Are you concerned that the goal for the site could be misconstrued?

The Left and progressives do not have to keep following the DNC to the right. In this political standoff, the people have all the power, campaigns like the Superdelegate List will make it clear that we won't back down.

NPR spoke to a superdelegate recently who was surprised their name was on the "Superdelegate Hit List."

The majority of superdelegates have their professional contact information available to the public, as such they shouldn’t be surprised that voters are collecting that information to hold their vote to account.

1. The only people trying to steal our democracy

are the people who want to award a nomination to a person who did not win.

2. You must be referring to the MSM?

Because they seem to think
Clinton has already won?

3. I am gonna assume that Hillary has managed to give her superdelegates, especially the lobbyists,

a lot of extra ballots to fill out in the GE. Since their votes are obviously more important than that of the average citizen whose life will be affected by the election.

My household - voting for Bernie. No matter what. And I will be non-affiliated as soon as possible. I think the Third Way has its bloody talons deeply embedded in the DNC.

4. This is sad...

...while Bernie Sanders did not win, it's wrong to target the few super-delegates who chose to remain with him. The term "hit list" suggests violence, also.

Remember, the super-delegates are not new; they represent the voters and Bernie did get a respectable number of votes. Let's focus on getting Hillary elected!
