I've always been on the left. And I don't enable the right by criticizing the left until AFTER elections. Too much at stake to let them have this much control for 2 years.

If you think the party's past performance matches your interests, you're welcome to do that.

Colorado recently changed their primary election eligibility rules; now anyone who's unaffiliated may vote in their choice of either primary- but not both.

In last month's primary, hundreds of thousands of Coloradoans did exactly that.

I might switch my party affiliation to independent.

I'd rather we have at least a year's affiliation with the Democratic party before a person can vote on the party's nominees.

In Oregon, it's only 2 weeks because that's how much time the elections board needs to mail right ballots to the appropriate homes. I think Democrats should be selecting their nominees, not everybody else.

Then again, it's not been much of a problem, so I'm not beefing.

I hope California straightens out their system. The "top two" system nearly bit the state's voters this year and Republicans nearly gamed it.

Luckyyyyyyyyy..we have voter suppression in florida being a southern state and all..you MUST be affiliated to vote in primary.

30% of black men do not have the vote due to prior felony for which they already served their time..paid their 'debt' to society.

you should have the right to vote for anyone and decide right up until the time you are handed your ballot. period.

anything else is voter suppression.

In the General election, absolutely should have the riight to vote for any of the main candidates - should be easy, paper record, anonymous and reliable too.

Primaries are when parties pick their nominations for office. It is here where the Independent or Republican should be shut out of the selection primary for Democrats. We select the Democratic Party nominee. The Democratic Party nominee from any given district should represent the Democrats from that district in the General election.

Extending the enrollment period to one year would exclude people who aren't Democrats. I know you cant understand this but the Democratic Party's nominee should be a Democrat.

But that would require people to take their vote and party affiliation seriously. It should be more like the Publix deli. That chicken nugget belonged to Schuylaar!

an independent can vote either way on the floor..do you think the dems were happy that Sanders voted in their favor all these years?

extending the enrollment period will never get you your beloved hillary..she's done.

making more rules just shuts out the VOTER.

In the general election or any election that appoints a person into office, absolutely, one person one vote. We also need to get rid of the Electoral College, which dilutes votes in states with larger populations.

The primary is when each party picks the person they want to represent them in the general election. Clearly I'm in the minority here. However, I'd prefer that only Democrats pick the Democratic Party's candidate. Seems obvious to me.

I want to see the Colorado experiment play out for a few cycles first. If we aren't going to allow third parties a level playing field, then it's only fair to let Independents vote in primaries.

People attempted to vote in both primaries at less than half the originally projected rate this cycle, that's a good start. Those who do don't get their votes counted in either primary.

We're talking about choosing candidates in primaries. This, so we aren't given a 'choice' of two candidates already approved by corporate donor vetting.

GOODBYE

Would you please explain why people who aren't members of the Democratic party should pick the nominee for the Democratic Party?

WTF. You live in Colorado as you tell us. They allow write in votes.
There are three basic methods by which an individual may become a candidate for office in a state.

  1. An individual can seek the nomination of a state-recognized political party.
  2. An individual can run as an independent. Independent candidates often must petition in order to have their names printed on the general election ballot.
  3. An individual can run as a write-in candidate.
Please please STFU. When you post you expose your level of stupidity

Because America has made the choice that third parties will not be given a level playing field.

Nearly every post you make is ill informed and reactionary and this one is no different.

But yell all you want about making others shut up.
