Okay why is “not running in the general if you lose” not a requirement of running in the primary? That seems like a pretty obvious provision that should be in every political party’s rules for participating in their primary.
Like, completely disregarding the views of a political party, this seems like a clear administrative rule that any party with primary elections should do.
The only reason not to do that is if you’re doing “You must be a dues paying member of our party to run, and if you run in an election as anything else you are banned from the party”
You may as well just enter every party's primary.
But no, they only let you do this for the purpose of ratfucking a left-wing candidate.
