> Literally no one is saying otherwise Nice, Argumentum ad populum. After following this election pretty closely I have observed that many people do not in fact understand how the parties operate and that the primaries are a party and not a legal construct. It's possible that people either have faulty ideas how the party process is run, or just do not have enough experience with it (many new Bernie voters).

"I have observed that many people do not in fact understand how the parties operate" This generalization includes people in the party too. "and that the primaries are a party and not a legal construct." The primaries and caucuses are legally recognized party constructs.
