If you are saying caucuses are confusing and/or undemocratic but you also like and support third parties, I'd encourage you to think longer about this issue. First past the post voting almost universally leads to a two-party system.

Caucuses are basically just real-time transferable vote systems. Yes, they are discriminatory because of the amount of time required for participation, it selects against people with kids, people who work nights, poor people, etc. That said, it's real, actual community politics.

I feel like a lot of the people saying "caucuses are dumb" are also people who say "two parties is dumb" and I get annoyed with people making shallow, easy criticisms instead of thinking about and participating in the system we have.
