Reply #24: The primary schedule sucks [View All]

Perhaps what the state parties did will lead to a reform of the entire system down the road, and this could be great in the long run. Unfortunately the DNC called their bluff and they did violate policy in black and white and they KNEW what was going to happen.

The results from an invalid primary will not be honored (it was invalid according to rules). Im just hoping that the DNC and those states can work on having a valid election this year, that everyone will vote in, everyone will respect, all the candidates can campaign in, all the voters can be educated in, and all the running candidates can be voted for in. Anything that isn't equal to this (seated or not), disenfranchises and hurts some amount of voters. Who knows if thatll happen though (probably not). Therefore, its probably going to be lose, lose. So if you are advocating one position, even if the rules are on your side, you are advocating for at least one group of people to be losers. And this isn't a position any of us should be willing be in.
