sort of tangentially related, but my long time gripe is that if taxpayer funds, facilities, and resources are used in these primary elections, I shouldn't be restrained in who I can vote for. At least I can pick one or the other party and vote, but I think it's trash that I can't vote in both. I think it's even more trash that some states administer these primary elections with taxpayer resources and people aren't allowed to vote.
I love Democracy but the way we do it leaves a lot to be desired.
