    If youre talking about the party nominations, democrats didnt really have primaries.

      Yeah they did. Maybe you weren’t paying attention. Florida canceled theirs and there’s a lawsuit about it, but Biden still won in a landslide nationally. He got 99.1% of the delegates and 86.8% of the popular vote so far. Some states are still ongoing but it’s an obvious Biden landslide.

            Its pretty fuckin hard to be expected to be able to win a nationwide election when youre not listed as an option nationwide. That shit aint democracy. And just about every state missing challengers on the ballots do not accept write ins

              No fucking shit dude. It’s because these candidates are not popular enough or organized enough to qualify nationally. They’re a joke. No one wants them except right wing plants and their useful idiots.

                Who would you consider to be qualified to be an option in a democrat primary? Just an option, just a possibility people can decide on themselves.

                  Anyone who can demonstrate appropriate fundraising ability and can get the appropriate signatures and paperwork filed in time for the primary.

                    Good thing money is free and not held in majority by a small group of people already politically co-ordinated to only allow two options to you for the sake of pretending the US isn’t a one party state.

                    Also if it was all about fundraising, Bernie would have been president, but it isnt about fundraising, its about who’s funding you.
