If we can’t be bothered to vote in the primaries, wjy would anyone believe us that a progressive candidate would somehow lure millions more to vote?

As I know the comments will be, uhhh, fun, I’ve turned off reply notifications.

    Independents can’t vote in primaries in my state and many others.

    Independents are the majority, 40% of voters, with Rs and Ds at 30% each.

        That should absolutely be legal. Just imagine that a ton of Republicans vote in democratic primaries to mess up the democratic candidate.

          I disagree.

          One person, one vote… if a person decides they’d rather vote in D than R primary, there’s nothing wrong with that? What’s the “mess up”?

          Rs vote for Ds all of the time, Ds vote for Rs, I vote third party, D, and R, depending on the election.

          Locked in a party, there’s no reason to vote for anything. Just count the registrants, boom, whoever has the most registrations win.

          We should be able to vote how we wish when we wish. This law is WORTHLESS.
