Those of us in late voting states are entirely disenfranchised.

A national primary coupled with a series of runoffs until one candidate gets a 50% majority would be more just.

I have no problem with Joe Biden. He's a good choice, but on the other side, look at the damage done to this country by the primary system in 2016.

It will take decades for this country to recover.

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