To those who are very distressed about the'disenfranchising' of voters in FL and MI,what did you do? |
|
Did you march in the streets? Did you organize petitions to the state or national Democratic authorities?
Or did you just complain afterwards?
I just believe, if you are not complaining solely as faux outrage over a political issue, that you would have performed real actions to try to give MI and FL the right to vote in the primary.

2. Well, that's just illogical |
|
The fact that the state party knew the rules- and didn't come up with plans for re-do's has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that the voters in those states were effectively disenfranchised.

3. It has everything to do with the voters feeling disenfranchised |
|
We live in a representational democracy, when our representatives screw up they get the blame.

Seriously. Draw up a sane, intelligent plan whereby the average FL voter could have had some effect.
Oh, and you might start by explaining how many Democratic votes the Republicans *needed* to move the date of the primary.
Welcome to reality. It's nothing like the talking points you've been reading. :)

5. Nothing, Dean, Pelosi, Hillary and Obama said not to worry about it and they'd be seated. |

Obama is the flip flopper here.
