Perhaps from your perspective, and I can respect that. However, as a fairly far left independent who is sick and tired of the Democratic establishment's incompetence, the last thing I want is to make some sort of loyalty pledge. I'm also not ok with even a tiny erosion of our state's open primary system, which I personally find important. I believe in free, independent and private voting, and am not interested in "party loyalty" (even if I've never not voted D). Call me a dreamer, but these sorts of things are important to me.
