minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·2 months agoThat’s the problem, there are only 2 Republicans running vs. 9 Democrats. Split 9 ways, there’s no way for a Democrat to make the top 2. The solution is party primaries, one for the Democrats, one for the Republicans, I don’t know who decided on this single primary bullshit.

Sounds like a California thing!
