Why does Stephen Miller hate hippies? Could it be because he has genetic baldness and is jealous of their long hair?

Could be because the Left didn't care about it. It's more likely that those in the far-Right media manufactured the outrage to then have outrage over.

Such a simple person to believe that. Carrer politicians work to fundraise, not to represent voters. Look at how bad our congress and senate are because of that. They talk causes to fundraise off of, then we are lucky if there is even an attempt at following through with any promises made

You misread everything I said about how I would like to see voting done. First, a primary with every candidate, open to all voters in that voting block (local/city/state). Second, take the top 6 vote winners and then they are put into a general election where the winner is chose Ranked Choice

Neither party cares beyond what they can use to fundraise off of. Democrats just have a slightly better track record of what their voters want being better for the country than what Republicans and their voters want.

They wouldn't be able to toss billions into the election cycle to influence it like they do now with our current system. Why do you think that those people are actively trying to prevent RCV in the country, and trying to get it removed where it got voted into being used like in Alaska?

We could just pool them all together and allow an open primary. Keep the top six and have them be voted on ranked choice style. Much better in my view that way

See, this is the difference between people who want things to change, and those who like the status quo. More people will fall out of the parties because they are all terrible, therefore the parties have a much more outsized role in choosing who is on the ballot

Not all states allow voters to vote in primaries if they are not part of a political party. I live in one of these "closed primary" states and have no say in who I get to vote for until the general election. So, only some voters choose who is on the ballot.
