    There was very obviously no time for an open primary this election. Now talk about literally every single other election in recent history.

        This may blow your mind, but France is an entirely different country from the US, with an entirely different structure of government.

            moving our system of government to be more like that one

            So now you’re talking about a Constitutional convention, which is a whole different pipe dream.

                For all the policies in your second paragraph, we just need a Dem supermajority. No nebulous “change the system” distraction needed.

                For changing how the DNC works primaries, this one time, so close to the deadline, it’s such a ridiculous idea that only helps Republicans, it’s not even worth discussing. Such a transparent call for Dems to shoot themselves in the foot. Ridiculous.
