Also, this isn’t exactly a fair statement since the primary was declared over before the majority of states even got to participate. Yes there is low turnout sometimes in states that get to participate, but there are many of us who would like to and can’t, hence feeling like it isn’t exactly a fair or representative process
Pretty sure only like 16 Million people voted in the 2024 Primary
Only like 36 Million in 2020
Instead of complaining about how unfair it is why dont people actually try organizing for a candidate and voting in primaries?
Or better yet, just give dems + indie a supermajority and they’ll reform voting.
The Democrats can reform their primary process any way they want any time they want. They are a private organization.
And they are. In Kansas and Hawaii since 2020 they’ve used RCV for DNC Primaries. Maine, a blue state, also practices RCV for the general election.
On the other hand, many Republicans have directly opposed RCV.
And the majority of these reforms are brought about by Petition, including the ballot measures.
They are, but not nearly enough. The entire primary system is setup to be easily manipulated by the party leadership and their puppets on cable news.
