    You know what causes more harm than Democrats? People not voting for them because they’re not far enough to the left, and therefore moving the entire country to the right.

    What teaches the Dems to move to the right is that those on the right actually get votes.

      Correct. What caused the Democrats to move right over the last 40 years were the retirees who continuously voted for centrist conservatives in primaries. They’re the only ones who always show up, hence the <15% congressional primary attendance.

      Mamdani got the NYC primary up to a record 30%. That’s all it takes for us the move the Overton Window back to the left.
