Oh they’re far from ideal. They’re also far from the Republicans. Actively voting in congressional primaries is how we can make them into the opposition party we want.
You could use it to vote for Democrats not funded by AIPAC in the primaries.
We kick those people out, in the primaries. Congressional primaries get less than 20% attendance, most of whom are retirees. That’s why nothing changes.
You don’t join anything by registering to vote. You gain access to their primaries. I’ve changed my registration to Republican to vote in their primary before. It’s not a blood oath. It’s a tick box you can change as often as you’d like.
