[quote=Anonymous]I'm not OP. I'm registered independent in MD, but I've been saying for years that we need open primaries. The current system has each party battling it out for the support of people on the end, driving both sides to the edges. This is why we don't have bipartisanship and why someone like Trump was able to get a foothold. I think the bulk of the country is somewhere in the middle, but we're left choosing between far right-wing and far left-wing candidates. Politicians are more focused on the partisan politics of the primaries than the actual election. If we'd had open primaries, perhaps Republicans wouldn't have been so terrified of being primaried out, and we might have had actual impeachment hearings versus the parodies we ended up with.
