Can you explain how the Democratic party “effectively cancelled” primaries this year? I guess I’m wondering what I voted on back in March if it wasn’t the Democratic primary ballot
Really? They cancelled local primaries? That’s news to me.
Or do you just mean that they didn’t have a significant primary for a sitting party candidate for President, just like pretty much every candidate in history in that same position for any party?
I too would have liked a serious primary for this year, but that would have been a significant exception, not the rule.
The only way it really would have happened is if Biden decided not to run at all.
I agree primaries are a great way to influence candidates.
That’s probably why the Democratic party effectively cancelled them this year.
