This is something I don't understand.

It seems like the issue of MI and FL is being painted as, Clinton supporters want those states to count, which is only partially true, and Obama supporters don't want those states to count, which is totally false.

What I don't get is why so many people are blaming the DNC for state party leadership breaking its party rules and then suffering the consequences from the national party in a national nomination process.

I don't understand this.

If I lived in MI or FL I would be angry and in the streets demanding a change of leadership in the STATE party! But there seems to be a good number of people here who act like these state parties did nothing wrong.

I am angry that MI and FL voters are getting disenfranchised! I care about their voice. But my anger is appropriately directed at STATE officials who stupidly went against the rules, knowing the consequences in advance and for no good reason other than they wanted more of the limelight. Why is there not agreement about this?
