If it's so easy to simply join the party to vote in it's primary, how exactly would closed primaries do anything to stop this 'alleged' electoral process perversion known as cross-over voting?
Because you have to make a choice... you cannot willy nilly choose on a whim at the last second to just play with the other party's process... if you are a DEM, for example, and wish to do that, you then give up on the other primary selections within the DEM party.. you basically fuck yourself for playing the childish game
And if you hate the 'duopoly' nothing is preventing you or like minded folks from starting another party.. it has been done many times... and as a matter of fact, I continually see 3rd and 4th party candidates (GRN and CON recently in my state/district) on general elections... if you get enough people to act and think like you, you could then go thru the process to have a state primary for your party
