on a Democratic website.
Exactly why do you object to me providing advice to potential voters who may not know the rules?
You remind me of Republicans who, in response to massive voter suppression in the 2004 Presidential election blamed the voters.
You make a big distinction between a party primary and a GE. In today's world, the difference isn't that great. Because of lack of media coverage, we haven't had a president outside of the two major parties since the 19th century.
If you are so much in favor of blocking independents out of Democratic primary voting, don't be surprised if before too long they (who outnumber Dems 42% to 29%) replace the Democratic Party.
