Again, when was this and why was Biden allowed to run unopposed on my primary ballot?
2 0 ReplyHe was opposed by Dean Philips, Jason Palmer, and Marianne Williamson. They all dropped out.
1 2 ReplyAgain, when was this and why weren't they on my ballot?
2 1 ReplyThey weren't on your ballot because they dropped out before your primary or they failed to meet ballot requirements.
1 2 ReplySo we didn't have a primary, then. Thanks for clarifying that for me.
2 1 ReplyYou had a primary with no challengers.
Is this your first time voting? The same thing happens every election year in down ballot races. If you don't like the candidate, you can always write-in vote.

I.e., not a primary at all.

This isn't a downballot position, but even if it was, the lack of choice would still render the primary moot.

I did.
"Uncommitted" was very popular in my state. I hope they win.
2 1 ReplyIf you voted uncommitted or write-in then congratulations, you voted in a primary. Which means there was a primary.

2 1 ReplyIf there isn't any competition, then it's a noncompetitive election. It's still an election. In fact, it's the most common type of election.

You can stop pretending like the party's failure to provide any choice is evidence of Democracy in action. Quite the opposite, in fact.
