Bill Gates and Warren Buffet should fund new primaries in Michigan and Florida. For the Democratic Party to have a chance in November it must be united. This has been a spirited campaign with passions running high. For millions of voters in Michigan and Florida they have been disenfranchised through no fault of their own. Without their votes there will always be questions about who is the "will of the people". The combined wealth of these two men is about $90 billion. The primaries each cost $15-30 million. A donation of $30-60 million would be the equivalent of someone worth $90,000 donating $30-60. The next President will more greatly effect a larger number of people than any of the charities these men support. A $30-60 million investment is very cost effective!

I really never thought this would gain this much steam but here we are and it is honestly wild to see people actually agreeing that this makes sense. Maybe the billionaires will actually pay attention once they realize how many of us keep showing up here to talk about this.

So unfair to the people in FL and MI. They deserve to be heard just like everyone else.

Throwing money at this wont fix the party establishment but I guess its better than nothing. Just get it done.

This is ridiculous. The party is a mess and these guys have the cash to fix it right now. Pay the bill and lets get on with the election.

Why should they care about our democracy when they have billions? Maybe if they actually stepped up for once we could move forward.

Every vote counts. Michigan and Florida were totally ignored and it is not right. They need to redo it.
