I have to pick one freakin' party and stick with it
...
I have no idea where you got the idea you have to vote a party slate.
The primary election is by party, but not the general election. I think the reason is in cases where one party has a strong candidate, voters don't jump party lines in the primary and vote for the weakest opposition candidate.
