I'd agree with you IF all our primaries were on the same day and there wasn't this caucus >> primaries in a new state each day

- jfengel 5y agoThat's a weirdness for the Presidential election, the only elected national office holder. That one is weird a lot of different ways. But for the various state and district offices, that doesn't matter. There, you really are voting at the same time as all of the other people with an interest in it. I'd say the bigger issue is that for a number of places, only one party really has a chance, and the general election is a foregone conclusion. Voters really only get one bite at the apple, during the primaries. (The voters for the other party never really get a bite at the apple, but they are so far outnumbered that no tweak to the voting system will fix that. They have to hope that the elected representative will keep their interests in mind.)
