    Please do not talk down to me. Nothing I said indicates I think this is standard. I was giving the historical context for why it is that way in the US. So please don’t come at me with this “well actually” nonsense. It’s needlessly hostile.

    The flip side is that independent candidates are fairly common.

    That’s not the result of not having people vote in primaries. That’s generally the result of a parliamentary system, which is more common than anything resembling the US’s representative democracy system.

    As for the rest of your comment, you’re grinding an axe over something I did not say.
