    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.
