Reply #92: In a caucus you do not broadcast to the world who you support

[Debi]

You stand within a small group of your neighbors (all of whom are supporting the same political party) and state your preference for the nominee. Since it is not a one person one vote scenario who you supported is left at the meeting (unless you sign in your preference at the door).

If you don't like a caucus because you don't want your political preference to be known outside your own mind, fine. But as soon as you volunteer at Party headquarters, have a yard sign/bumper sticker/lapel pin, post on a public board that supports a particular political party, canvass for a particular party, walk in a parade....etc. Then what is in your mind is publicly known.

Even now your preference against a political process is public knowledge. Again, a political process that you have never experienced but which you are willing to post your negative opinion.
