      Why would they do that? You are going to vote blue no matter who anyway, so what leverage do you have?

          The primary is also not a legal election, it’s a private club that is legally allowed to choose whatever candidate they want for whatever general election ballot they choose. They are also legally allowed to rig the primary throwing out any votes they want, for any reason they want or just ignoring them. So given that the two major parties, that you will certainly vote for, can choose any candidate they want ignoring your opinion, what leverage do you have?
