He tried to explain how in Florida, "everybody had agreed" and although the law was passed by the Republlicans (to move the primary up before Feb 5) the DNC felt that if they made an exception for Florida, the other states would try to move their primary up too. I asked why Iowa, NH and Nevada, South Carolina have early primarys. And he said because the DNC had decided that those states represented the country as a whole.
I said that they don't represent the country as a whole because they don't represent me or my neighbors because we're in Oregon. Why should our voice be so weak in comparison to those of Iowans? [..]
When I hung up the phone I went to my computer and donated that money to Hillary. I also signed up to help with her campaign. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone who felt like me would do the same?
It doesnt bother you at all that Hillary agreed with the decision to establish IA, NH, NV and SC as the early primaries just like the other candidates did, at the time? It's of no importance that Hillary agreed with the DNC decision to strip Florida and Michigan from their delegates when they moved their primaries just like the other candidates did, at the time?
It's irrelevant that Hillary only suddenly discovered how important it was to give Floridians a chance when she lost SC and was pushed in a narrow electoral corner? You see no hypocrisy in any of this, but only, what, a woman standing tall for the disenfranchised or something?
