    Top two is such a dumb fucking system. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least if some of the Democratic candidates are Republican plants to dilute the vote.

      That’s the problem, there are only 2 Republicans running vs. 9 Democrats.

      Split 9 ways, there’s no way for a Democrat to make the top 2.

      The solution is party primaries, one for the Democrats, one for the Republicans, I don’t know who decided on this single primary bullshit.

        I’m confused. Aren’t primaries usually per party? Pick the strongest party candidate and then those two run in the general. Is this some sort of weird open primary?
