ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIES 3d ago

#Primaries news

#Mamdani backed three challengers in #NYC against incumbent #Democrats

#BradLander, #DarializaAvilaChevalier, #ClaireValdez

How many won?

All three of them did

Two of them over multiple term centrist milquetoast Democrats (the third retired)

How did that happen?

Well you see some people whine nothing ever changes, some people sit on their hands until perfect magically appears, and some get off their fucking asses and #vote in the fucking primaries

@benroyce It's worth noting that NYC is effectively a one-party jurisdiction and the Dem primary is the whole ballgame.

Many (if not most) US congressional districts are safe Dem or safe GOP, which means the party primary is the contest that really matters. If you don't tune in til later, you've missed your chance to make an impact.

Well, we need to keep kicking the fire, unmotivated voters, they can stay home

It happened in Nov 2025. Nationally, 10 million registered voters did not vote, that was a problem, for all of us, we got Trump, again

I heard there are 800k Republicans in NYC.
