    Here in California, we haven’t had a presidential democratic primary since 2016, and he wasn’t running then. Please explain how he won, when the DNC cancelled the 2020 primary before we even got to vote, and never had a 2024 primary?

      I mean that’s obviously a lie. There’s documentation that proves primaries were held. I voted in mine.

        I was signed up for mail in voting, and never got a primary ballot in 2020. Got one in 2024 but of course there wasn’t a presidential primary option.

        Also how many votes did Bernie get, cause we had tons of Bernie voters here in 2016 and 2020

      What are even talking about? I voted by mail in both 2020 and 2024 primaries, in California.
