    The closed primary system is just so fucked in general, these are private organizations that can do whatever they want, the DNC and the RNC.

    I still don’t like Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She was literally marched out of the DNC office because of the bias she showed towards Hillary Clinton in leaked emails. Then she gets hired by the Clinton campaign!

    Shit was so crazy.

      Decades ago I changed my voter registration just because I was tired of not being able to vote in the primaries. I think they’ve changed that since then, but I don’t know, since it doesn’t impact me anymore.

        I think some states require that you be registered to the party for primaries and some have open primaries.
