Another reason why we need open primaries.

I wonder if the primaries are part of the problem. Aren't they by definition only going to attract the political junkies?
Too true. I only found out what primaries were in my late 20s when I started getting interested in politics.
I'm a fan of open primaries, but could you spell out a bit more how they would help with this problem specifically?
