This won’t be a popular opinion in Montgomery County, but I think government should represent everyone and political parties should always seek to broaden participation, even among people who aren’t affiliated with them. This is even more important when one major party has consolidated power to the point that the other party is unable to field viable candidates or even run contested primaries. A lot of people don’t feel represented at all and are not willing to affiliate with a party. [/quote]

All you have to do is register with a party, vote in the primary, and then change your registration back to independent. If your unwillingness to affiliate with a party in order to be able to vote in the primary, outweighs your desire to vote in the primary, that's on you.

Just as the Republican Party's inability to field viable candidates and run contested primaries is on them.[/quote]

That kind of attitude is how we've ended up with Group Think in Rockville. [/quote]

Which kind of attitude? The kind of attitude where you take responsibility for your own actions (including the unsuccessful ones)?[/quote]
