A friend of mine wrote to Chellie Pingree and asked if she would follow the will of the people and use her superdelegate vote for Bernie Sanders, who won the Maine Democratic caucuses in a landslide. She still has not received an answer.
Although I’ve voted for Pingree before, if she betrays her constituents and follows the orders of the corporate-owned Democratic National Committee and votes for corporate-bought establishment product Hillary Clinton, she will lose the votes of me and others who are tired of business as usual, and voted to reject it in no uncertain terms.
If the DNC continues to roll out their one-trick pony at the expense of fair play, a lot of Democrats, like myself, will be too outraged to do what the committee is counting on: that is, shut up, get in line and vote for the Democrat.
