People try to make it sound like Democrats from the South are stupid and it doesn't matter what we think. They act like just because we live in red states, our votes shouldn't count in the Democratic primary. I don't think they realize that delegates are allocated based on how many people in each state voted for the Democratic candidate in the most recent election. The delegate counts are indicative of how many Dems are in each state. But because we don't vote the way they want us to, they'd rather see us disenfranchised. It's pretty sad to see on a site supposedly full of Democrats.
