Two statements that just don't go together |
|
I've seen these exact opinions expressed multiple times by several Hillary supporters on the board today.
#1: "Michigan and Florida should count because it's undemocratic if every vote isn't counted equally!"
#2: "Idaho voters shouldn't count as much as PA voters because Idaho will go red in the GE!"
Now I have an issue with both of these opinions, but I just find it funny how Hillary supporters are contradicting themselves without even noticing.
:rofl:

This has nothing to do with gender. It has everything to do with PEOPLE who refuse to see who is ahead in the delegate count.

3. It's not that Idaho voters shouldn't count as much... |
|
it's that they should count for so much more because of the weighted and undemocratic caucus system.

4. I love how the caucus system is "undemocratic" now. |
|
It wasn't "undemocratic" when Bill Clinton won them in 1992. Or any other time in previous elections. Or when Hillary won in Nevada. It's only "undemocratic" because she neglected to plan for them and therefore got her her pantsuit-covered ass whipped.

#1: "Michigan and Florida should count because it's undemocratic if every vote isn't counted equally!"
#2: "We believe the superdelegates should overturn the popular vote and pledged delegates, because we think that party insiders and lawmakers should be worth 10,000 votes each"
Mi & FL - One man one vote caucuses - one man no vote super d's - one man 10,000 votes
