In a race in which candidates from all parties run in the same primary, Democrats have raised concerns the crowded field could prevent them from appearing on the November ballot.
The answer is it isn’t a Democratic primary. Some states have jungle primaries where all candidates of either party run and the top 2 move to the general. California is one such state.
Honestly I agree with one addendum: there needs to be approval voting or at least STAR/RCV for the primary, and this is one of those situations that proves it. That two people who’ll get all of maybe 40% combined (more likely 35%) may advance to the general while those that made up the 60% won’t is absurd and absolutely worse than just having two separate partisan primaries.

As it should be.
