Florida Democrats have decided they just don’t need to hold a presidential primary this year, automatically awarding President Joe Biden the state’s 250 delegates.
Thursday marked the deadline for Florida Democrats and Republicans to submit their lists of approved candidates for their receptive primaries. According to Politico, Biden was the only name on the list for his party despite other candidates running against him.
Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN.) took to social media to express his fury with the Democratic Party, vowing to challenge “this absolute nonsense.”
“What happened in Florida yesterday is a tragedy and a travesty. The Florida Democratic Party – just a handful of people – decided to disenfranchise millions of Democratic voters in Florida by saying, ‘We’re not gonna have a presidential primary,’” Phillips said in a video. “I’m running for president; there are others running for President as Democrats, and this is the kind of stuff that happens in Tehran, not in Tallahassee. We’ve got to do something about this.”
In other words, the Left is determined not to let the 4.4 million Florida Democrats have a say in the party’s 2024 nominee.
Phillips called his party’s actions a “blatant act of electoral corruption,” demanding Biden to “condemn and immediately address” it.
The Florida Democratic Party is gifting all 250 state delegates to Joe Biden without a single vote. We won’t stand for it.

The Democratic Party is acting as if no one is challenging Biden regardless if he will most likely be the party’s nominee. Despite Phillips only polling at 3.5 percent, with Marianne Williamson at nine percent in national polls, Democrats are still expected to uphold the country’s election integrity process.
“You have to jump through a lot of hoops to get on the ballot in states across the country, but Florida takes the cake: they won’t even let you try!” Williamson wrote, arguing the secretary of state is allowing the party to “DECIDE who it wants to be on the ballot.”
Williamson called it absurd at the “unconstitutional display” of how an “authoritarian state works.”
“People are told they can vote but are informed by someone else who their options will be,” she continued.
Well you won’t believe what Florida is doing now… You have to jump through a lot of hoops to get on the ballot in states across the country, but Florida takes the cake: they won’t even let you try! The FL Sec. of State has decided to simply allow the Florida… — Marianne Williamson (@marwilliamson) November 30, 2023
No /s tag.
Some here still don’t believe that.
By denying Florida democrat voters a primary the Democrat Party is saving DEMOCRACY!
They have surrendered!
Democracy dies with Democrats.
democRats hate democracy
That is bizarre. I’ve never seen that happen. They’re handing the nomination to a senile old sleazebag.
I don’t believe the “coronation” false narrative but more and more it appears that we may be denying reality.
senile old sleaze zhitbag.
Improved.
What an interesting way to let little people know that their votes don’t count.
It’s been that way for a very long time.
I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you!
What a tribe of vicious buffoons.
I could be wrong but I think you misspelled baboons.
Just wait until Biden acts - here are his words about the subject:
“....as I said earlier, but is its driving force — is trying to succeed where they failed to suppress the rights of voters and subvert the electoral system itself.
That means denying your right to vote and deciding whether your vote even counts. Instead of waiting until an election is over, they’re starting well before it. They are starting now.”
Oh wait. He said that about Republicans in 2020 - never mind.
senile old sleaze zhitbag.
His grandchildren call him "Ol' Rumpleforeskin", from the shower initiations into the Biden Family Syndicate.
The insertion of that statement as a qualifier to his previous statements could only mean that he thinks the proper way to "subvert the electoral system and deny votes" is to "wait until the election is over" not do it "before" like those corrupt Republicans.
Or it means that he has dementia.
"election" integrity. It is to laugh.
How did our Republic become a geriatric oligarchy?
I blame penicillin and municipal water sanitation. :P
