So i am a bastard who didnt vote in the democratic primaries today in florida. Mostly because unlike every other time my vote really didnt count. The state got punished for moving their date around.

Am I wrong for this?

No need to sweat it, as one vote would not have changed the outcome.

Just don't miss the November elections, or we may need to send some folks over to discuss the matter with your knees. :devil

oh that one my vote really does count....i wll be voting.

Speaking of punishing Florida, and a few other states along the way.

What message are the Democrats hoping to spread? Do what we say nationally or we'll take away your right to delegate?

I might be reading more into this than is there, but doesn't that smack of robbing the lil guy of his right to vote unless he does as he is told?

Why just the Democrats? The Republicans also punished Florida.

It is both parties telling the states to tow the line, which actually is what the party is supposed to do. If the states are going to continue to ignore the national body and do as they please, it will make the national organization moot at some point.

Republicans didn't strip Fla of their delegates did they?

Only half of them.

It all depends on what the definition of "pledge" is. (http://www.unionleader.com/article.aspx?headline=Hillary's+word%3A+It's+worth +nothing&articleId=0853268a-d982-4190-81e8-740ae942f510)

COURTING VOTERS in Iowa and New Hampshire, last August Sen. Hillary Clinton signed a pledge not to “campaign or participate” in the Michigan or Florida Democratic primaries. She participated in both primaries and is campaigning in Florida. Which proves, again, that Hillary Clinton is a liar.

Clinton kept her name on the Michigan ballot when others removed theirs, she campaigned this past weekend in Florida, and she is pushing to seat Michigan and Florida delegates at the Democratic National Convention. The party stripped those states of delegates as punishment for moving up their primary dates.

“I will try to persuade my delegates to seat the delegates from Michigan and Florida,” Clinton said last week, after the New Hampshire primaries and Iowa caucuses were safely over.

Clinton coldly and knowingly lied to New Hampshire and Iowa. Her promise was not a vague statement. It was a signed pledge with a clear and unequivocal meaning.

She signed it thinking that keeping the other candidates out of Michigan and Florida was to her advantage, but knowing she would break it if that proved beneficial later on. It did, and she did.
