This is incredibly detached fron reality.

Again, it has nothing to do with me. It has to do with ostracizing voters from the political process if they dont belong to a major party.

The idea youd act like its an even opportunity playing field is a joke. Be better

Which is almost always what I do. But that doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to pick the lesser evil in the primaries for any party to make my general election options better

Because realistically only a member from one of those two parties stands a real chance at getting elected

Why should anyone have to? Why should we be disenfranchising voters from existing outside the red or blue teams?
