Democracy on the ballot

Remember when 2024 election was all about democracy. Guess that doesn't include Democratic primaries
North Carolina's election board unanimously decided Tuesday to accept the state Democratic Party's request to have President Biden as the lone Democrat presidential candidate.
Phillips also slammed the decision, writing, "Never imagined the Florida and North Carolina Democratic Parties would use Iran’s tactics to guarantee the outcome of an election."
"This year the Democratic Party decided an election wasn't desirable - so they shafted voters by placing only Biden's name on the ballot," he added. "The destruction of democracy by the people entrusted with protecting it."
In contrast, the Libertarian Party will have 10 names for its North Carolina presidential primary ballots. North Carolina is just one of four states to now have essentially eliminated the primaries -Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina and Massachusetts.

We know this already.
It's like I said in my last diary. Joe is going to "save democracy" by making sure nobody can vote for anyone but him.

We have 9 Dems to choose from on the primary ballot
No longer do we have caucuses and I'm glad.
One of the Dems is called "non committed delegate" which sounds ok. I guess I'll vote Dean Phillips though it's probably good the less I know about him. I'd vote Sanders if he were on there despite him going slightly woke. Sanders usually supports the same things I do.
