Look... I'm as much of an Obama supporter as anyone. I've campaigned for him in three states so far (South Carolina, Georgia, and Texas), and I'll be driving to North Carolina to keep it up in a few weeks.
With that said, ALL of the candidates are going to advocate the position that scores them the best chance of winning. Barack doesn't want to seat Michigan or Florida's delegates because that would hurt him, and Hillary wants to seat them because it would obviously help her. So in that sense you could argue that none of them really care about democracy, but the truth is simply that when fighting for the most powerful seat in the world, and candidate is going to do what a candidate has to do. Shameful and sad maybe, but just remember that elections should be about issues first and foremost, so all you can do is try not be be sidetracked by these retarded stories about who does or doesn't care about democracy. Our government hasn't been a democracy since the day of its birth, and even if every vote in MI and FL counts it still isn't democratic because the overall popular vote doesn't determine the nominee. |
