Most of those countries have less than 20% of the population of the US and are smaller than our largest states.

India pulled off their election this year in six weeks.

We live in the future. It's not like the only way to hear about a politician is to physically go to an event and see them in person, and it's not like the only way to research a candidate is to go through your local library to find physical newspaper archives. A debate anywhere is a debate everywhere and you can look up anyone's record in an instant on Wikipedia.

Also, remember, we're talking about a primary. Those are inherently smaller because they only encompass Democrats, instead of the entire population.

Also also, these excuses don't actually address the problem: the appearance of an undemocratic process.
