The Broken Primary System and Its Impact on Democracy

The broken primary system in the United States plays a significant role in shaping the outcomes of elections, influencing the choices presented to voters. With limited options and lack of competition in primaries, the current system disenfranchises millions of voters, particularly independent voters. The system perpetuates partisan division and fails to represent the diverse viewpoints of the electorate. Addressing the flaws in the primary process is crucial for revitalizing democracy and ensuring a more inclusive electoral system.
