We demand the last 7 unpledged supers from WA respect the will of the state's voters

How are you going to "demand" it? DesertRat May 2016 #14
No, you aren't. The votes go with Caucus, which was already held in March. So, in this instance silvershadow May 2016 #16

I guess I don't expect anything different. You are mimicking your candidate.
Go for it - but don't expect party unity with your attitude.

Close though! Until the good Democrats of Washington can convince a judge that the DNC doesn't run the nomination process, they do, then the super delegates should be beholden of the caucus results. The primary has no clout because it's only supported by the base. Silly tax payers! The DNC runs the caucus. They got the power! They apportion the delegates.

By the way, Sen Sanders is on record agreeing with you. This is one case I disagree with my candidate. They should never have been created. Let us vote and we f up then we f up. It's our country not the DNC's. But, as long as we keep them, the Democratic party being so big on manners and decorum now and us Sanders supporters all "follow the rules" and such, we need to make sure they do what they were created to do: Prevent the plebes from screwing the pooch. They'll vote at the convention and no decision is final until then and the current buzz is just that. Nobody has flipped. Sec Clinton is still their choice.

The super delegates vote will be decided in smoke filled rooms where trillions exchange hands and plebes are not allowed. They'll make the right decision for the DNC.

it really doesn't matter, but just to point out- your own logic fails to include the other approximately 70% of voters who can't vote in a Democratic primary.
