    Insulting me doesn’t explain why your idea of a half dozen candidates in a first past the post system, meaning that a large majority of people don’t get what they want, is better than what we have now.

        Well since you only talked about getting rid of primaries and not also completely revamping the entire electoral system, I’m not sure what context clues I was supposed to use to know that.

          … their first comment was saying they want an electoral system that doesn’t need primaries, and their second talked about STAR voting. So while they were pretty confrontational about it, they did make it pretty clear that this is about the wider electoral process

          How about the part where they started by saying “I’d rather an electoral system where primaries aren’t necessary” thus alluding to the fact that they want a different electoral system
