I had to post this because it's too effing good. This is a college acquaintance posting about how to force Bernie to win/steal superdelegates

1) #BernieOrBust -- This is great psychological warfare for the superdelegates. Right now, we poll at about 37% of Bernie supporters being BoB. If we can get that over 50% somehow, superdelegates will be worried about people coming out to support Hillary. I'm not saying vote one way or another, but I am saying if you are a Bernie supporter, you should at least "say" you are Bernie or Bust for the forseeable future.
2) #ByeByeSuperDelegatesIn2018 -- We are going to have a #contestedconvention no matter what. So, the superdelegates will make a difference. This hashtag says we're kicking out superdelegates from office who vote for Hillary instead of Bernie. It's what politcos call "primarying them out of office"
3) California -- "Unaffiliated" (independents) are allowed to vote in the Democratic primary but NOT the Republican primary. This means two things: A) We can encourage anti-establishment independents on the right to vote for Bernie to hurt Hillary, and B) We must make sure our own members are either Democrats or Unaffiliated (*not" American Independent Party) - voters have until May 23 to change to Unaffiliated or Democrat. Encourage supporters to take down Hillary by switching to Unaffiliated or Democrat.
4) Millenials - Talk to your parents and grandparents. We absolutely must come out to vote. Every single vote counts. The entire future depends on whether or not you take action.
5) Changing Hearts and Minds -- Do nto be combative with Hillary supporters. It *never* changes their minds. Instead, be kind and exploratory with them. Invite them to see a different perspective. Share how you changed from Hillary over to Bernie or whatever story. Stay away from facts and logic - none of that really changes most people's minds (sadly). Instead focus on transformational videos, images, etc. that get people to see things differently. If you attack their candidate, they'll dig in even further - think about how we react when someone attacks Bernie. Same thing happens to them. Have to think differently.
We have a lot of work to do, friends. Let's get back to taking action that matters. We must keep fighting!
