Why are there republican primaries and democratic primaries instead of bipartisan primaries?
Good, insightful question; bipartisan means between two parties. Actually at the moment of primaries, in the United States, there are many parties. Don't forget the Green Party and the Libertarian Party and others. So your question can be stated as "Why can't I vote in any party at primary time or all the parties at primary time?" Primaries are held in accordance with rules that are established on a state level. Some states allow any voter to vote in any primary, while others require that only registered members of a given party can vote in the primary for that party. Political parties are associations. Physical groups of people who have similar political views. You can be a member of the group or you can be a member of a different group or you can be not a member of any group. But, logically, you can't be a member of all the groups and not a member of any group all at the same time. That is a tad inconsistent. In the United States of America political parties are actually state parties. We forget sometimes, especially when we elect the President of the United States, that if you are a Republican and live in Texas you are a member of the Texas Republican Party. If you are a Democrat and live in Louisiana you are a member of the Louisiana Democratic Party. You vote, in your state, to directly elect your congressman, your senator and state officials, but you vote only to elect the electors to the Electoral College who represent your state and go to a central location to cast ballots for the President of the United States. Primaries are a function of the political party. They are not a function of government (although they sure look like they are.) They are governed by State law, with a bit of national case law and constitutional influences (like you can't have an all white party no matter which state you live in.) But they are truly a function of a particular political party. Choose one and enjoy.
