I still have no idea how she's doing so well.  I never hear anyone say they support her as a first option.

Most of his support comes from independents and they aren't allowed to vote in most democratic primaries iirc.

That really is fhe dumbest shit.

"Oh you're independant? Well fuck you then you can't vote."

I get their trying to seperate it but if there isn't any independents voting than maybe they should allow them to vote elsewhere.

You can't vote in a primary election if you aren't aligned with that party (in many states). Its not a government event, it's run exclusively by the parties themselves. Why would the GOP to see anything but Republicans when they're gauging Republican support for a nominee?

Yes but it cuts off a lot of support from outside sources.

I get the point but it really is dumb. And easy to exploit.

There was even a thing where a good chunk of voters in New York could not vote at all.

There is even a thread on here about it.

isn't that kind of like refusing O-type blood

i get not wanting democrats, but treating independents as though they're some kind of threat seems less than intelligent to me

Party elections are to see who the party allegiants prefer to be their government candidate. Including people who aren't of their party skews that number and can easily confuse the party of what their voterbase actually wants.

And to be noted, not all states bar independents from voting in primaries. An example is the state of Georgia, which doesn't register citizen's party affiliations when they sign up to vote. I could have voted for Dems or the GOP in the primary here, and for any candidate on either list. (Not both, of course.)

If your state doesn't work like that, organize a write-in to your state legislature and try to get that changed.
