    I keep looking into the primaries and the way that it looks to me they can just pick anybody regardless of the “votes.” Why would Primaries ever be the answer when we need to pick a good 3rd party and run it home?

      Yeah primaries are certainly not the answer. I was specifically talking about local elections shit, but even that doesn’t work most of the time, these last couple of times I’ve had two complete shitbirds to vote for (even the so called ‘progressive’ candidate is a complete mess) and the progressive one shits the bed in the primaries and the establishment Dem candidate shits the bed in the general.
