If they aren't willing to revote, then their delegates shouldn't be seated. How about Michigan? I trust they are making actual progress (from what I've heard)

Simplest solution is to simply seat only the superdelegates from Florida (and Michigan if they don't revote).


Not a bad solution actually.

What about 'the will of the people'?


There is no "will of the people" because most people didn't vote in that primary because it clearly did not count. But aren't the superdelegates in Florida mostly towards Hilary? If so, there you go.

Most people never vote in a given primary.


But when you are told your vote doesn't matter and you are ignored by the media and candidates, that's different. The fact that the Republicans won in voter turnout is proof of this.

But what about the whole idea of holding a primary that does count so that those people who want to vote get to express their view?


They should revote in a primary that does count but it looks like the Florida democrats shot that down. So I don't know what to say to them....
