SHOW US YOUR NAKED <3

A lot of you have probably heard about the big delegate controversy on behalf of these two states in the Democratic primary.

Personally, I’d prefer their votes not to be counted at all. These states were told what would happen if they ran their primaries early; if the consequences don’t apply, they’ll end up with a free ride, and every state is going follow suit in a mad rush during the next primary.

I can see compromise as a solution, because technically, citizens of the two states had no call in running the primaries early, and they shouldn’t be punished for decisions of a few people; but the fact that these votes weren’t going to be counted in the FIRST place has messed things up. Under the assumption the votes wouldn’t be counted, Obama pulled his name of the ballot in Michigan, while Obama supporters, who alternatively wrote his name on the ballot, weren’t counted. But if they were to hold new primaries, even at 1/2 or less delegates, they’d have even more more weight than they would’ve with early primaries.

And of course, where compromise would help bring people together, we have Clinton stoking the fires, screaming “Count all their votes! No votes for Obama in Michigan, he took his name off the ballot!”

I think that those two states should not get any delegates. This campaign, just for the nomination, has been going on for too long.

ALSO A DICKSUCKING FUCKWAD

Imagine if even a fraction of the millions wasted on Operation: Blacks or Chicks, Which Will Lose Harder? went to say, I don’t know, humanitarian efforts.

Wow. That kind of makes me feel butthurt by the system.

Goddamnit.

In its function, the power to punish is not essentially different from that of curing or educating.

I don’t think they should be counted – if the situation was reversed Clinton would be saying the same. This is why Obama pulled his name off the ballot… and what’s the point of a compromise (unless they could rehost other primaries? is that possible?) if it was agreed that it wouldn’t count from the start just because Hilary can’t bow out gracefully and is desperate for votes?

This is divisive and damaging to the party as well… meh. Politics, srs business.
