It explains why Bernie Sanders has only tended to do well in states where legal loopholes allow non-democrats to vote in their democratic primary races.

And it explains why he wants to open the Democratic primaries to anyone at all, not just registered Democrats.

Why have a party?

A political party can pretty much do whatever it wants internally. If Bernie was running as an R, you can bet Cruz and Trump would demand to see papers. D's are like "it's cool; rules are made for breaking". I wish I had seen this when it first came out.
