On the Michigander and Floridian Democratic delegates
Much has been made in recent months by Michiganders, Floridians and Clintonistas at large over the purported disenfranchisement of Floridian and Michigander democrats in the Democratic presidential primary, but far too few pundits and public citizens have been willing to criticize the perpetrators of this preposterous scenario: the political leadership of the Michigander and Floridian Democratic parties. Indeed, the political leadership of both state parties openly and knowingly violated an unambiguous ruling by the DNC. As such, the individuals, lobbyists and political activists who are currently calling for the Michigander and Floridian delegates to be seated at the national convention are effectively calling for the leadership of the Michigander and Floridian state parties to be pardoned. Such a development would be disastrous, as it would both encourage future violations of national Democratic Party rulings by state parties and effectively demonstrate to the nation at large that the DNC is willing to compromise on principle. What, then, should irate Michigander and Floridian Democrats do with their free time in the months to follow? The answer, it seems, is quite simple: hold the responsible parties accountable for their absurd disregard for national party policy during the next electoral cycle.
