Maybe try being a candidate people wanna vote for, dems.

The problem is if five Democrats who people want to vote for are in a jungle primary with two Republicans who people want to vote for, then there's a decent chance the general election may end up with two Republicans on the ballot.

Jungle primaries are dumb, the only way they would make sense is if they used approval voting or something.
