of course no one is perfect. but people should only be voting for people they actually want to see in office.
Not voting for one guy just because you like the second guy even less.
If they aren't on your short list in the primary, why would you vote for them in the general?

Its not compromise when you blindly accept the binary options the parties give you.

Ok.

No they aren't. It's a nice theory, but the reality is that people will vote incumbent the vast majority of the time because they are too lazy to research the opponent.

I feel like people will vote the party more than the incumbent.

Edit: ...and the party typically backs its incumbents.
