If we Democrats are doing this with primaries at all - and the Duce refutes the claim that of course that's the best way to do it (he would never have got the nod from a bunch of old white guys in a smoke-filled room) - why not a single national closed primary on a nationwide primary day with instant runoff voting?
Or we could follow the French and if no one had a majority on the first ballot an actual runoff election could be held with the top two vote getters of the first the only candidates.
Either would shorted and cheapen the nomination process a lot.
And, sure, we could still allow early and absentee ballots and make voting day a paid holiday.
[And, yes, why don't we do the actual presidential election that way, eh?]
[And adopt proportional representation in the senate?]
[After all, there is absolutely no good reason to adopt electoral or representational arrangements intentionally in order to enhance the power of white conservative hillbillies vis-à-vis other Americans.]
[So when somebody starts blathering that it is essential to ensure political candidates campaign in flyover country to keep up hillbilly confidence that they count too and deliberately giving them insanely disproportionate power in the government is the right way to do that, shout "Nooooooo" in his face just as loud as you can.]
But, no, the Democrats are doing it this way.
