“‘The kind of poisonous hostility that led to Charlie Kirk’s murder … still exists on campuses and elsewhere,’ Barrett said.”
Is it known what motivated the lone gunman? Is there any evidence of anti-conservative hate?
Lies and Propaganda spread by self-righteous Supreme Court justices.

From watching on my phone, it looks like if it hit the wall, it had to have hit the yellow part of the wall. Wouldn’t that make it a home run?

It wouldn’t change much. They have had it in Alaska for a while and Alaska is still dominated by the two parties. Republicans withdraw from the general elections if they weren’t the top R in the primary, keeping general elections 1 R, 1 D, & 2 fringe.

I think you refuse to think of partisan primaries as a method of partisan nominations. You refuse to view a winner of a party’s primary as having been nominated by the party.

You’re continuing to dispute it while denying that you are disputing it. You are speaking out of both sides of your mouth.
Most offices on American gen ballots are not single-seat cases of CLPR. They are OLPR. The People names predominate with BIG letters. Parties are in tiny letters.

“America largely has a system of self-nomination where parties don’t have much input.”
Kinda, but not really.
1. To the extent this is true, I don’t want a reform that perpetuates it. Don’t tell me that I do.
2. The parties have tons of input on who wins the primaries and gets nominated.

“How you get into a primary is a similar question as how you get onto an open list.”
No, they aren’t, at least as far as a major party lists.
Getting into a primary is drastically different than winning a primary. Lots of primaries have lots of candidates that only get negligible votes.

“I just see a certain equivalence between having public primaries and having open lists,”
They are not equivalent or even that similar. Just because you find certain equivalence between your ass & your elbow doesn’t mean I find them interchangeable.
It’s incredibly ignorant to conflate them.

“Without anyone creating the lists is not what I meant.”
That seems to be exactly what you wrote. Lists could be created before a general election by primaries (or other methods). You advocated combining the primary and general, that is, a general without pre-existing lists on the ballot.

Americans voting in American primaries to nominate (e.g.) 5 candidates for the OLPR general election to elect 5 representatives in a 5-seat district would be very easily understandable to Americans because there are many multi-winner primaries and elections in American elections.

“Your judges example would correspond to the Swiss system.”
No, nothing has anything to do with the Swiss. You’re injecting more crap.
Nominating multiple candidates by primary for multi-winner offices is American and extremely common in American elections (even NY).
