thoughts on Oregon primary inequality

The closed primary could be further spelled out how horrible it is.

• Many people aren't so partisan, but declare a party just to get a vote
• A local region that is Republican-dominated in our Democratic State fundamentally makes voters choose between getting a say in local primaries that matter or in state-level / federal-level primaries that matter — they cannot have a vote in both

Probably not for the front page, but I'd include this along with other things on a dedicated page about how partisan primaries are fundamentally awful. I.e. a page about the primary system in general. It should also answer FAQs about primaries and address assumptions about them etc.

Yup. If you want to take a stab at a first draft, go for it!
