To those who are very distressed about the'disenfranchising' of voters in FL and MI,what did you do?

[Levgreee]

Did you march in the streets? Did you organize petitions to the state or national Democratic authorities?

Or did you just complain afterwards?

I just believe, if you are not complaining solely as faux outrage over a political issue, that you would have performed real actions to try to give MI and FL the right to vote in the primary.

1. nobody was disenfranchised. everyone knew the rules. nt

2. Well, that's just illogical

The fact that the state party knew the rules- and didn't come up with plans for re-do's has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that the voters in those states were effectively disenfranchised.

3. It has everything to do with the voters feeling disenfranchised

We live in a representational democracy, when our representatives screw up they get the blame.

4. Are you stupid?

Seriously. Draw up a sane, intelligent plan whereby the average FL voter could have had some effect.

Oh, and you might start by explaining how many Democratic votes the Republicans *needed* to move the date of the primary.

Welcome to reality. It's nothing like the talking points you've been reading. :)

5. Nothing, Dean, Pelosi, Hillary and Obama said not to worry about it and they'd be seated.

Obama is the flip flopper here.
