Except you do get to vote for no senility. That is what the primaries were for. Trump was actually struggling quite a bit against a young woman.

As was Biden for a hot second against a younger candidate. That was short lived. Biden was also getting a bit of a slap by a few people who were not on board for having Biden run the party again.

This is why you don’t sleep through the primaries and complain you only get the only one vote on parties.

2016 proved that wasn't true. The DNC pushed the candidate they wanted, and the guy who kept being up or near Hillary just got ignored by the press so most people barely ever saw him. You don't get to pick anything in the primaries. The two parties in charge tell you who you get to have.
