    “I didn’t hear anyone calling for other candidates.”

    That was a response I got from a guy when I brought up the botched primary all thanks to Biden’s hubris.

    Like, no shit Sherlock, we couldn’t call for anyone else, there was no time!

      Biden left his run so late they just appointed someone else and “that’ll do!”

      And then called us naive idealists for wanting… Checks notes democracy when the democracy is at stake.

      My ballot had two choices: Biden and uncommitted. I voted uncommitted.

      A primary with one name on the ballot is not a primary.
