“I’m an independent, and I want to elect an independent candidate!!”

“I’m sorry, you’re not registered to vote in this election. Move along…”

“No! I want to vote for Bernie!”

“You should have registered as a Democrat. It’s too late now. You can vote in the general election in November. Move along now.”

“But.. But.. But if I don’t get to vote for him now, he won’t be on the ballot in November!”

“Hmm… You should have thought about that earlier. Too bad. Now if you’ll excuse me…”
