The purpose of the primary system is to find out and thoroughly discuss those issues as a preamble to the selection of a national candidate and to define the direction the party will take during and after the election.

Presumably, the party leadership and the candidates will recognize the importance to the voters of those issues and will work to include them as they are what a significant number of party members feel strongly about and will be concerned to vote for in the national, and regional elections.

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