"Stop having primaries" is an interesting take.

Not really. The democrats didn't have a primary in 2024.

Yes, for all intents and purposes there was no 2024 primary, or, rather, no serious 2024 primary challengers. But what you said was:

Yeah. I mean, if they want to win elections. It's clearly not working what they're doing, they keep losing to racist clowns

Buy guns

So now the people who are most willing to use guns to get their way choose the candidate. Great.

No, you're not getting a choice in candidates. And the candidates are going to use the state to oppress you. Act accordingly.
