Vampire Weekend frontman and noted Bernie Sanders supporter Ezra Koenig isn't too pleased with New York's primary registration rules. Though the election isn't until Tuesday, the deadline to switch parties was Oct. 9.

Koenig called the rule "bullshit."

Koenig also has it in for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, apparently.

But hey, the same rule Koenig is ranting about is responsible for Donald Trump missing out on two votes from his own children.
