I would vote for the perfect party, but not be a member. Not good to lockout independents for not swearing a party loyalty oath.

If you believe that, then caucuses are the best answer. basselope Apr 2016 #10

Have them on weekends. basselope Apr 2016 #13

A primary is for THE PARTY - not so other parties can come and choose our nominee. SunSeeker Apr 2016 #26

This is a nonsense claim. basselope Apr 2016 #31

We haven't had in person voter fraud to necessitate voter ID laws. SunSeeker Apr 2016 #42

We haven't had crossover voting to necessitate closed primaries. basselope Apr 2016 #43

Wow. You really think we need voter ID laws?!?!?! SunSeeker Apr 2016 #44

If you believe that is ratfucking, then you are in the wrong country. basselope Apr 2016 #46

A primary election is for our party to pick a nominee, not the entire electorate. SunSeeker Apr 2016 #47

No, YOU are the voter ID enthusiast. basselope Apr 2016 #48
