Sanders rails against closed primaries but says nothing about caucuses. TBH I’d be fine with open primaries if the caucuses were ended. I still do prefer closed primaries given the choice but I’d hypothetically compromise on that since I find caucuses incredibly undemocratic. Even my other brother who supported Bernie found them very undemocratic when I explained them to him.
Political parties are nonetheless private organizations and are free to set the rules for their nominating process as they see fit.
That is something that a lot of people overlooked when they ranted about the DNC in 2016.
