      Is it because you didn’t register? Because everyone that I know got a ballot for the primary. And there was more on it than just the presidential pick.

          California primaries occur on March 5th my incredibly high information friend.

          How does that prevent you from voting in primaries, again?

            It means that their vote doesn’t count. I also live in a state that has one of the very last primaries, after the race is already over anyway. By the time I voted for Bernie, he had already dropped out of the race. My vote meant nothing.

                Something that happened long before my state’s primary.

                What does my vote mean when every candidate has already dropped out anyway?

                    Do you have a point you want to make? We’re both saying that “but primaries!” means nothing to us when we have no voice in the primaries.

              Sometimes its because of superdelegates, sometimes its because of a mysterious series of coin flips, sometimes its because primaries are cancelled this year.

              By the time I vote in the presidential primary there is typically one name on my ballot.

              Cali was super-fucking Tuesday in 2020 and 2024, what the fuck are you on
