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.
Open primaries permit members of the other party to sabotage the results by selecting the candidate of your party. This is especially true if one party does not have any real contests.
