Okay, and? What is your point?

This is just a misunderstanding of how primaries work and basic civics. There are Democratic primaries in FL. For Senate seats, House seats, etc. Those primary dates differ state-to-state, and Florida's just so happen to take place in August. Nobody met the requirements to be submitted on the Florida ballot in time, and second to that, it wouldn't have made a difference ultimately as we would come to find out since nobody achieved any competitive results in earlier primaries or in national polling.

There wasn't a Primary for President because those who voluntarily threw their hat in the ring either (a) dropped out, (b) did not meet the minimum ballot requirements, or (c) Biden already earned enough votes for it to be irrelevant. Florida was never make-or-break for anyone else who, again, voluntarily threw their hat in the ring.

I was referring to the presidential primary (as that is the topic of discussion in this thread). Florida did not have one.

As was I, which I explained why it did not happen. Please read more closely.

Basic civics.

The “explanation” doesn’t change that it did not happen. My previous comment did not require a qualifier.

Basic reading comprehension.

Ok, cool? I simply gave context showing your factoid contributes nothing meaningful to the conversation.

I guess we’re both doing that. I never had a misunderstanding.

Ok bye.

None of these kids ever seem to know what they’re talking about. And the moment you point it out with any proof- they disappear to go post their shit elsewhere having not learned a thing.

It’s why I don’t bother anymore trying to persuade them with facts. I just call them out and move on.
