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
How is the fix NOT IN for the Democrats to win big, on November ‘24, due to cheating? Donald Trump can’t win, as long as there isn’t any kind of voter integrity put into place before November ‘24!
bttt
First giant step toward a Soviet state where the party knows best.
I can hear it now. “We can’t have a presidential election. Our candidate died, it’s not fair”.
Cue Randy Quaid (”Russell Case”) from “Independence Day.”
“I been sayin’ it and sayin’ it. Ain’t I been sayin’ it?”
Rutabaga WILL be the DemoKKKrat nominee. There will be no exchanges, no substitutions. He is a very bad Christmas gift to the DemoKKKrat Party.
How can one not expect this from the party of fascists? These people are so dense.
“Our Democracy” means Rule by a senile dictator.
Saving Democracy by canceling elections. Leftists know best.
19th amendment
I believe the parties should choose their nominee any way they want.
I also believe that all elections should have runoffs when needed to provide much needed competition to the current two parties.
I notice they keep misspelling ‘Demoncrat’ ...
The Demonrat party has already reported that they will replace the D candidate on the November ballot with whomever they choose. They don’t need no stinkin’ voters. They “got the powah”.
They’re not taking little steps behind the scenes anymore.
It’s a full on assault against Constitutional governance now.
I wonder how many of the complainants on here were fine with the Virginia GOP skipping their 2020 primary and simply choosing Trump on their own.
This complainant never heard about that until now.
