Lets get rid of primary elections when electing our president

[Brian37]

I really don't understand why we allow this to happen. Lets just have one election every four years for our president. Whether it be 10 candidates or 2.

Um no. However, I would be willing to have laws passed to make elections publicly funded, and limit the campaign season. I am sick of the damned thing being 5 million years long. But no, there has to be some choices before you get to the general.

Do we still let each party pick their candidate?

I shudder at the thought of 10 political parties.

That is a good point too. India may be an open society,  but it also has thousands of political parties and far more of a pay gap and more poverty. Too many cooks as they say.

The real problem has been gerrymandering over the past 30 years.
