Democrats do not make election laws. Those are an amalgamation of historic Federal and State policy. There are different requirements and deadlines per state to get on ballots. This isn't about a single party. They did not have time to run a primary. That is a massive undertaking, printing the ballots alone requires significant forethought. If the laws were different maybe they would have had time but that's totally irrelevant. We're not playing Calvinball we're talking about what could have happened.
