Many are trying, though options are severely limited by the fact that, two years ago, the entire US government was gift-wrapped and handed to fascists by a bunch of democrats who figured “why bother?”
It sounds like you think there won’t be presidential primaries. Or perhaps you think you aren’t allowed to vote in them? You are. And what’s more, since participation is quite low historically your vote likely has quite a bit more influence in the primary than in the general election.
No, I know I'll be allowed to vote in the primaries. I also have zero faith that any worthwhile option will be allowed to run. So, vote between worthless option number 1, or worthless option number 2.
On top of all that, I'm still not convinced it's not rigged from the start. Joe Biden in 2020 wasn't considered a real option. He was in 5th place and assumed to drop out shortly. Bernie Sanders had a significant lead. Then, in the timespan of 3 days, Biden was far and away the clear cut leader. I've not since that day held any faith in the DNC.
