Michigan and Florida

I like to keep up on the news. Personally my two favorite states, although Kentucky runs a close third. All those mountains...

So I read last night that the democratic party decided to split the delegates votes up between the two candidates. I think it's to basically ensure a candidate for the democratic party before they've officially split the party into two separate parties.

The party for change, and the party for not so much change...

I completely roll my eyes at the stupidity of this "lost" Michigan and Florida vote. If the law was set up this way, they should stand by it. Why vote to have the primaries moved up at the expense of losing votes knowing full well they would turn around and fight that it wasn't fairly counted? That's ludicrious.

That's politics.

I guess why this upsets me so much isn't because I would have chosen either of these candidates, but the possibility that I could have... and would have lost my right to make my vote count towards my candidate. I did stand in line at my primary and I voted. But I know there are people who didn't come to the polls because they felt they weren't going to be represented and rightly so.

My proposal? If the democratic party is going to make it count, I suggest a re-vote for the entire population of Michigan and Florida. For those independents who showed up to vote, for those democrats who wanted a voice that wasn't Hillary's, and Republicans who have the right to vote to screw the democratic party.

Hurrah for Democracy.
