Reply #4: So then just seat the damn delegates [View All]

And count my vote.

But oh no, we must maintain the sanctity of obscure DNC rules setting up the arbitrary order of state primaries. And for people who bothered to vote in Florida you should have "spoken up" after the fact to your legislators for changing the date of the primary so that the DNC would overreact and choose to disenfranchise voters instead of a far less draconian punitive measure. Sure, it wouldn't have changed anything, but at least you would have "spoken out" so you could all pat yourselves on the back for "speaking out". And then you can sit at home and watch the convention sans your delegates. But you would have "spoken out." And that's all that matters. Not exercising your vote, but "speaking out" about DNC rulebook technicalities. Which is way more important than voting.

:sarcasm: , in case you're incredibly dense.

What a sad, sad story.
