Well the primaries are essentially company votes for sponsorship, in which they don’t matter but for that company. So I get the argument that people outside of the party shouldn’t be able to vote in it, but I also wish parties weren’t a thing. The votes for actual positions are on everyones ballots. So you can vote against your party or for anyone, you just can’t influence what the party is sponsoring for that position beforehand because you aren’t registered within that “company.”

It’s all a mess, especially that it’s different everywhere
