To hear the Clinton campaign and Florida Democrats tell it, they were innocent bystanders to their state's GOP in deciding to move their election date up prior to their sanctioned slot in the calendar.

The reality is much different:

That's the Florida Senate Democratic minority leader Steven Geller overtly pretending to object to the new calendar, laughing about it the whole time.

2. More like powerless to do shit about anything there.

I'd laugh to if I couldn't comply with unfair DNC requirements.

The FL dems figured losing half their delegates was an OK punishment for getting paper ballots passed into law.

They didn't deserve to be stripped fully when they're completely outnumbered and unable to comply with the wishes of the DNC.

we need to be thinking about.
