There was a primary. She didn't run.
Are you talking about 2024? Because no there wasn't. No party in the US holds more than a pro forma vote for presidential nominee if they have an incumbent running. Primaries in such years are specifically for lower offices. A President hasn't been primaried in the US since Johnson declined to run again after getting beat horribly in polling and the New Hampshire primary.
Oh, got em on the technicality!
The OP you're replying to was clearly highlighting that Warren isn't a candidate for President, but because you caught that it was a lack of nomination rather than a lack of primary campaign that totally invalidates their point!
Oh did I catch you guys operating in bad faith? Shock.
because the party would take it as an insult, and her career would be over.
Sounds like you've made a compelling argument as to why what you're demanding isn't a real option, so you'll need a better excuse as to why you're refusing the only rational option you have.
he's why it wouldn't be an option. the rational option is ignoring your bullshit elections in favor of direct action, the emotional reaction is voting for the red team out of spite.
