Why are people going to show up for a primary that doesn’t matter? There was literally nothing else on our ballot in AZ so there wasn’t much point.

So ... Bernie Sanders? In which case, it's an indication that Biden needs to be courting the progressive vote (which was always obvious and probably why Hillary's approach of shitting on them got Trump elected).

Bernie was running in the primaries? Did he do any campaigning? If so none of it reached here.

He won 9 states including California. Early on he was outperforming Biden before all the other candidates dropped out and endorsed Biden, not long after that he dropped. So not sure which states he was on the ballot for.
