Puerto Rico

At some point I need to be enlightened. I guess I just don't understand why we have elections that allow people to vote in the primary when they cannot vote in the general election. This seems to me to be stupid policy for the Democratic Party. If, somehow, the Democratic primary election was determined by the delegates delivered by the Puerto Rico primary, how would that sit with the rest of the voting United States?

In other words, why in the hell would we allow voters that cannot participate in the general election determine who would be in that general election? I have plenty of sympathy for the political limbo that Puerto Ricans may feel they are in, but this process allowance isn't moving any closer to resolving their situation at all.
