Tbf, primaries are carefully orchestrated by elites of both parties to make sure only their preferred factions dominate the primary ballots. Signing up to register in Republican and Democratic parties are intentionally made to be hard.
I still remember when Bernie did his first run and suddenly a bunch of people had to vote provisional. It's almost as if the elections are rigged on both sides, with only a state's major opposing political party being caught.
The crowing from centrists that leftists lose elections that centrists have complete control over is circular reasoning.
It's fair to think that centrists might have more support. But if someone believes DNC gives a fair shake to progressives, they're dangerously naive.
Yeah. The primaries are a joke. It's all orchestrated to make us think we have a choice when we vote.
