That quote is taken out of context. You left out everything else to support it.
If your state prohibits you from participating in the primaries then you have an issue to take up with your local leaders. Every state has its own set of rules regarding elections and who is allowed to participate. Many states do not have such restrictions and those that do you could easily circumvent by registering prior to the primaries.
What do you mean out of context? This reply makes me wonder if you even have any idea what you're talking about in the first place. EVERY STATE requires that you belong to a party in order to participate in its primary. THAT'S WHAT A PRIMARY IS! It's the party selecting its candidate.
And your suggestion that people should register for a party just to be part of the primaries is nothing more than repeating the flaw of your entire argument. Your hypothesis demands that people choose to belong to one or the other party, which would BY NECESSITY make your conclusion true BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME AS YOUR PREMISE.
Some states allow people to "crossover" during primaries.
Im not suggesting people register for one party or the other unless they want to vote for a person in that party. I mean christ, that makes complete sense to me. But the fact remains that we have a 2 party system and thats where the action will always be until a 3rd system is funded and put in place.
