There's technically still time, but many states have had primary elections already. We have no other way to give our voices to the selection process, so if the party chooses a new candidate now it would be quite undemocratic.

Unfortunately, he decided to run whether or not we think he "should". What are we supposed to do? We had better vote and not let apathy get the best of us.

My state is one of the last to vote in primaries. Biden was the only candidate left by the time I voted in 2020.

That is just not true, I encourage you to read about it on Wikipedia. The Egyptian border has also been blockaded since 2007.

People who live in Gaza do not have freedom of movement. They can't just leave, they need permission from Israel to do so.

Transactions are often not equitable, and most wealth bubbles up to the people on the top tiers.
