I mean that's kind of how it works. A primary is simply a primary between that particular party's candidates. So you're not going to be choosing this guy for Democrat ballot if you're an independent. I'm an independent and I'm not voting in the Democrat or Republican primaries. However in the general election I can then choose whatever candidate I want to select. I've never heard of an independent primary but then again most Independence are not listed as a specific political party. Because independent is not a political party it is a non-affiliation.
Fyi, if your state (like Tennessee) has open primaries, you could choose to vote in one to support their worst candidate. Both major parties ask their voters do this sometimes to improve their odds in the general election.
That's interesting I didn't even know that any states actually had open primaries like this. I've only got experience voting in two different states and neither one of them have open primaries.
