    This is literally how it works in every other democracy. Parties choose the candidate. I’d rather see more candidates/parties reach the general election than have primaries. I’m not alone, there has been a huge uptick in voters registered as Independent. However of course the Democratic party is against any increase in democracy. Not as much as the curtent Republican party.

      Bloods and Crips do not care for democracy, they help each other exclude competition in the federal/state/local level.

      Yes, Independent is the largest group between blue/red.

      Hopefully, we can have candidates this year that can bring them out to vote. If not, they need to try harder.

      Thanks for your input!
