In reply to the discussion: What do Hillary Supporters have against open primaries? [View all]strategery blunder
(4,225 posts)WA doesn't have a "closed" caucus. It's semi-open, you can declare yourself a Democrat the day of and participate and be counted.
Bernie won almost 3:1 here, and you're telling me that the operation chaos limbaugh types were the ones who put Bernie over the top? In WA of all places?
(I recognize you haven't said that directly, but that is the implication of "I only want Democrats voting in Democratic primaries because of crossover sabotage."
The Deomocratic Party has left a LOT of its members behind. A LOT of those former members went I. How the hell you think the Dems can still (sometimes) win elections when the Democratic Party has shrunk to ~30% of the electorate because of its rightward turn?
The people who feel that the Democratic Party left them years ago because of Turd Way politics and the associated corruption, who want to see it return to the Democratic Party they remember and supported, should be able to participate in reclaiming what the party stood for before the DLC infiltration, IMO.
