    Unfortunately, 15% is above the national average for congressional primaries. That’s all we need to change to change the Democratic Party. All the funding in the world won’t matter if we all take it upon ourselves to research the candidates on the ballot and show up at the polls.

    For a point of reference, Mamdani broke the record for NYC Mayoral Democratic Primary turnout with just 30%, up from 21% last election. We just need to outnumber the retirees.
