Many places have or had in the past closed primaries, meaning you can only vote as a registered party member. I wouldn't complain if people had registered to try and influence from within the system, though that is an uphill battle that may not be worth it and can backfire. Pushing for a weak candidate to try and get the opposition elected is how we got Trump's first term.

This is why I'm registered republican this year

I'm living in Utah, so midterms are automatically going to whatever name has "Rep." next to it. If I want to influence anything at all, I need to be able to vote on whose name that is
