Presidential Primary

I received a voters' pamphlet this week for the Washington State Presidential Primary on March 12.  An absolute waste of time, because it's inevitable that Biden will win the Democratic candidacy and sadly Trump will win the Republican candidacy (all his legal troubles seemingly only make him more popular).  Besides, I'm not a US citizen and cannot vote.  Nevertheless I perused the pamphlet, and was surprised to see 2 other Democratic candidates along with Biden.  2 people I've never heard of.  Dean Phillips, a Minnesota Congressman (and, apparently, a millionaire businessman and gelato company co-founder), and Marianne Williamson, a (in her own words) "successful entrepreneur, bestselling author, political activist and globally influential spiritual thought leader".  Whatever.  And there were a bunch of Republican candidates that I'm fairly sure have dropped out - Chris Christie, Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy.  I think the only Republican challenger left to Trump is Nikki Haley, and she doesn't stand a chance (even when Trump wasn't on the ballot in Nevada, "None of these candidates" got loads more votes than she did).  I had to take a photo of Trump's profile in the pamphlet, because again the language and rhetoric is so offensive to me.  I don't care how mentally deficient Biden is - even if he is a drooling vegetable, I would vote for him over Trump.
