      Ah I see. The lack of any form of election was cause everyone basically dropped out before my state got a say. So the only options were Biden or Uncommitted (which did get a significant amount of votes).

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

          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.

            Damn, that’s crazy. Those leftists sure suck, didn’t even try to oppose big evil Biden.

              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, that’s my whole point.

                  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”.
