A Modest Proposal for seating the Democratic delegates from Florida and Michigan
So I understand that the DNC, and the Obama and Clinton campaigns are trying to broker a deal to deal with the unfortunate stripping of delegates from rogue states Florida and Michigan. I say unfortunate because after all, the Democratic party is the party of the downtrodden, the discriminated and the disenfranchised, remember? The Democratic party is the party of count every vote, right?
Rumor has it that the deal is that they will seat all the delegates with half a vote. That’s not good enough. If Hillary is really going for broke because she thinks she can’t possibly wait eight years for another shot at being President, she’s got nothing to lose by playing her Ace in the Hole. You know, the race card.
Hillary ought to demand no less than Three-Fifths of a vote for every delegate.

Every vote and voice sould be heard. The best person will win in the end and regardless all Americans deserve to have their vote counted. If the politicians don’t respect the people who vote to elect them then they don’t deserve to be in office.

Well, that would cover about 99.9% of them.
