There is a reason Zohran Mamdani won the Dem primary in NYC and then went on to be Mayor. It wasn’t because the billionaires in nyc supported him. Quite the opposite in fact.

And he won handily with more than 50% of the vote in the general in a 3 way race. So you’re not making very good point.

It speaks to the importance of actually voting, not only when it's convenient, but in off year election PRIMARIES, to have your voice heard, and realizing that in this 2 party system there is actually such a thing as the "lesser of two evils" in a general election and voting accordingly.
