I think maybe we just need to give up on the primary all together. There are many ways to make elections more competitive that don’t require people to participate in a ballot they clearly can’t get excited about.

I was pumped to vote in the primary. There were meaningful choices on the Democratic ballot. The republican ballot was lame maybe.

I’m always pumped for a competitive primary. But you almost always get weak turnout for them. And then have to sit through rounds of complaints about how shit the candidates are from all the SOBs that didn’t think the primary mattered. And why ARE we still leaving candidate selection to a tiny sliver of the electorate?
