That system is like if I declared myself transwoman just to access the ladys room and see some boob and butt.

Boy, I sure do hate that analogy.

But it is the reason I'm registered with a major party vs the one I actually like; I can always have a voice in the one I like, and I want to be able to have my microscopic amount of influence on a larger party. It's as much of a "have your cake and eat it too" in the less-than-optimal environment of American Politics as I can get.
