    This actually isn’t true. When you vote in the primary you aren’t actually voting for a candidate, you are voting for a slate of electors. Biden won the primaries and his slate of electors would have been seated at the convention. The electors remain the same, they have just decided, with Biden’s endorsement, to vote for Harris. Nothing has changed about how democratic the process is or would have otherwise been.

      I know you are correct. But this doesn’t sound like ‘democracy is on the ballot’, which is what they say every year. And of course ‘this is the most important election of my lifetime’… Bunch of bull.
