this is otherwise cool but for FUCKS SAKE stop!!
you don't need to do this weird blanket primary nonsense!! you don't need to do that!! just let whatever parties run candidates be ranked by people on a general election ballot!!
the Colorado GOP is exploding from unpopularity and the libertarian party might legitimately replace them
Not sure that’s much better. Most so-called libertarians I know are just GOP-lite and only say they’re “libertarian” in order to feel good about the label they give themselves. The Venn diagram almost completely overlaps.
I don't think I've ever met an evangelical Libertarian, so hey, maybe they can discard that demo at least
Good point.
Yeah, I mean ranked choice should eliminate the need for primaries. I would love to see that nationwide. It would be the first big step toward eliminating parties (or at least making them less required/important).
