Bill Clinton was right about anyone who supports the "superdelegate hit list" including the Occupy Wall Street crowd.

Hopefully the Secret Service is keeping an eye on those people. President Obama and Bill Clinton are superdelegates.

... Hillary will be the Democratic nominee in 2016. Look, I realize you hate the Democratic party almost as much as you hate the Republican party (or maybe that's backwards) but you feel we're the easiest vehicle to your goals. Maybe you weren't counting on the Democratic party to actually resist. But the establishment has a way of staying the establishment. Just ask the Tea Party, who managed to infiltrate the Republican party and then became the establishment themselves.

Here's my advice. You've already shown you can raise money. So run a third party candidate in 2020. Make him or her as progressive as progressive can be. Maybe then we can finally settle the argument most of us thought was settled in 1948. You'll either win as you believe you can or go down in flames while electing a Republican. Either way, the Democratic party wins long-term.
