Thanks DNC, for helping our votes not to count

I'm on the way out the door, but this just makes me mad.

It's now even more useless to vote blue in this reddest-of-red states.

Here's a vastly oversimplified timeline:

  1. GOP-controlled Florida Legislature decides to play the "we wanna hold our primary first" game.
  2. Florida Dems decide not to hold a whole separate election even though the existing date would have us voting ahead of the "approved" early voting states.
  3. DNC punishes Florida voters by stripping our delegates (yes, kiddies, that means Florida Dems have no say in who runs for Prez) and telling the candidates not to campaign in the Sunshine State

ARRGH!


i'll write more later, i have more to say, and i'm sure there's more to all this that i'm not informed about, but right now it's just one more reason I'm disappointed in the Democrats.
