      What? No I read the Wikipedia page you linked which states when each state had their primary and also states when everyone dropped out of the race. I saw in the article that my state, Missouri, had the primary after every other choice had left which lead me to realize why it felt like there was no primary. There basically wasn’t one by the time I could have had a say in anything.

          My brother in Christ leftists weren’t even in this primary. Ffs one of the options was a damn antivaxer. Are you really gonna say the DNC would be accepting of actual leftists when they seem more fine having an antivaxer represent them? Actual leftists were running third party like the PSL party with Claudia de la Cruz or getting thrown out of every public Dem appearance for demanding them to speak against Israel and stand up for Palestinians. At the very least allow for someone from Palestine to speak on stage at a conference in front of the public, but that was asking too much.

              Yeah and a lot of leftists aren’t going to hold their nose and vote for any form of light conservatism just because it’s “the lesser of two evils”. They’re either going to vote third party or not vote at all. So the DNC can either shut down and stop getting in everyone’s way or start trying to appeal to leftists instead of the mythical “moderate conservative”.

                  You all always blame leftists as if Dems can do no wrong and are allowed to do whatever they want? Newsom attacks homeless people, talks shit about trans people, and platforms fascists on his podcast? That’s fine cause he’s not running as a conservative and said some mean things about Trump on Twitter. Anyone who expects more from them is just purity testing and will never be satisfied.

                    I blame both sides if they help trump/Republicans win. If cuomo spoils the NYC race I will blame him as well.

        So your point is that Biden should have stayed? Things would have been better is Republicans had 10% more votes, surely!
