Elections Would getting rid of primaries hurt or help the U.S.?

[Beechwood]

My understanding is different states handle primary political party elections differently. I guess many conservatives feel states that allow all to vote in primaries, regardless of the political party one belongs with, is harmful to the GOP. I've read that a few times at least.

Wait, what? Biden is incredibly ballsy. Look at the Afghanistan thing. Went against pretty much the entire FP establishment and the MSM. Also been consistently pushing back against far-left nuttery. I think because of his experience, he's not the least bit intimidated by anyone.

He has no balls when it comes to the woke nonsense. That was my point. Foreign policy isn't a crazy partisan topic. People are all over the place on Afghanistan on both sides of the aisle. Politicians are allowed to have different views on all that without their parties completely turning on them. What I'm talking about is when some bullshit like ladyboys competing against women in sports or serving in the military comes up, Biden is incapable of being all like "nah, that's a stupid fucking idea right there."

The '94 crime bill had no impact on any trends, though. And Bernie voted for it. Doesn't seem to have hurt him with the left.

What on Earth are you talking about? Crime plummeted after the 94 crime bill. motherfuckers were getting life just for even being in the car when a drive shooting was committed. It literally neutered gangs like the bloods and crips because so many of their members were taken off the streets.

Bernie literally lost the nomination because blacks wouldn't vote for him as a colective whole. They kept bringing up all this shit that he voted for as an independent that is now considered discriminatory towards minorities. Yes, white liberal kids and young adults love him, but it's because they have a hard on for his socialist monetary views. BLM fucked with him the entire campaign.

This doesn't make sense (you're reaching a broad conclusion on a very flimsy basis).

Crime was heading down when the law was enacted, and the trends were not changed. There's no causal connection.

Bernie literally lost the nomination because blacks wouldn't vote for him as a colective whole. They kept bringing up all this shit that he voted for as an independent that is now considered discriminatory towards minorities. Yes, white liberal kids and young adults love him, but it's because they have a hard on for his socialist monetary views. BLM fucked with him the entire campaign.

Your theory is that black voters were so mad that Bernie voted for the Biden Crime Bill ... that they voted for Biden?

Off topic but my problem with open voting is sometimes you have a candidate who without a doubt will win the primary. Think incumbent..
With open voting you can gather a lot of people to go vote for the shittiest candidate from the other party, knowing full well you won't vote for them in the general election.
