re: #78 Testy Toad T

It’s not a government election. It’s a primary.

I kind of wonder if we would be better off without the whole primary process. Let the parties just decide a nominee at their conventions and then have an election. I know on paper it feels like it would reduce the power of the electorate, but I think the whole extended primary thing serves to entrench the two main parties and makes any 3rd party seem like an afterthought.

Also if election coverage didn’t start until the conventions about 6 months before we vote that would be just fine by me.
