14. This is a bad idea.

I live in California. For as long as I can remember, I always felt I had very little say in choosing our candidate. More times than not, my favorite candidate suspended their campaign before I ever got a chance to vote.

This year California finally counted.

I cannot say how despondent and disenfranchised I would feel if the primary were cancelled before I even had a chance to vote.

Let the process play out. Let the votes and voters speak for themselves. Joe will likely come out a much stronger candidate if the nation sees him winning the delegates to get the nomination. There is every indication things are headed in that direction.

The majority of delegates have not even been awarded yet.

The outcome may be inevitable, but in the minds of the people, especially those who have not yet voted, this is major disenfranchisement.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
