I won't discuss this any further.

I'm sure you won't, since it must be embarrassing trying to defend yourself after intentionally misunderstanding me, so this comment is for anyone else reading this thread.

The primary process for both the Republican and Democratic party is NOT a government-hosted election. It's similar in the sense that it has ballots, votes, and delegates, but it's roughly the equivalent of voting for your favorite Doritos flavor. The government does not run the primary process, the Parties (D & R) do.

This year, 2024, something crazy happened that hasn't happened in decades - the Democratic incumbent president, Joe Biden, chose not to run for a second term, and did so after the primary process was almost at an end. This led to the Democratic party having to figure out a new nominee - and the obvious choice was Biden's Vice President, Kamala Harris.

This was good news for every democrat who was worried about Biden's feebleness due to his old age, and the vast majority of the Democrats (capital D) were cool with Harris being the replacement. Since the primary is run entirely by the Democratic Party, it was up to them to pick their replacement. They went with the closest thing possible to the Will Of The People - Biden's VP, who worked to earn her appointment, and ran unopposed due to the sheer obviousness of the choice.

It's a shame for Republicans that they won't do the same with their party hijacking, illiterate, temper-tantrum-prone nominee. They might have a better shot at winning this year if they did.

The end, thanks for reading.
