Undecided voters aren't influenced by anything as far out as the primaries. There are, however, a large block of angry voters who are tired of holding their noses in the general election, who will absolutely be influenced, badly, by people telling them that now they aren't even allowed to vote their conscience in the primary.

Do you think this will get those people to vote for Biden more, or less?

If Biden responds by giving at least two shits, then more.

It's also ironic how their goal is to "save democracy." If you can't vote the way you want to without losing that democracy, was it actually a democracy in the first place?

If you just even kinda agree with the above, we should all be furious that Dems are using this opportunity to hold voters hostage while they support genocide. Biden would course correct far faster if the base were as angry as the progressives, and then maybe we could all unite again.
