166. Again you are putting the cart before the horse. If the FL Dems had left things as agreed...
...we wouldn't be having this discussion. They floated the idea of moving the date and the DNC said they couldn't move it, and if they did there would be serious consequences. The Fl Dems moved it anyway and then act all surprised when the DNC holds true to their previously stated position.

The people that disenfranchised you are the Fla Dems that moved the date of the primary. Any action AFTER that fact is as a result of the initial action ie to ignore the DNC and do what they damn well wanted to do anyway...

FL acted like a bunch of stupid spoiled teenagers that wanted to change the curfew on a Saturday night, even though the parents said there would be consequences if they ignored the initially agreed-upon curfew, and then got all pouty when the parents grounded the stupid spoiled teenagers when they went ahead and ignored the previously agreed-upon curfew anyway.

The DNC did not break the rules, the DNC did not dis-enfranchise anyone, and the DNC should be applauded for sticking to the agreed-upon primary dates.

Any talk of placing the blame anywhere other than at the feet of the FL Dems that approved the date change smacks of willful ignorance of the known facts or outright intellectual dishonesty..
