I'll be able to vote in a primary next time
Theres no primaries anymore. The wealthy party leaders decide the nominees.
There's never been real primaries.
You dont think Obama in 2008 was a real primary? His campaign fought hard for that nomination, it definitely wasn't handed to them.
Yep, that was the last real one. Since then the establishment didn't want to lose control of the process, so they setup the primaries.
Real primaries would be open, plenty of candidates.
Oh, haha-ah, you sweet summer child. Sure you will, after all but two candidates drop out of the race and give their hard-won delegates to the conservative candidate in exchange for cabinet positions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Results_of_the_2020_Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries
--I kid, with the condescension, because this is what happened before many of us got a chance to vote in the primaries in 2020 -A primary that Kamala Harris dropped out of because she was deeply unpopular.
Hrc was deeply unpopular. Biden was. Obama ran on personality and empty promises. He showed her was all too willing to sell himself when he first distanced himself from Rev. Weight, then moved his church membership. Phyrric victory, for him and everyone else.
