Zohran Mamdani's victory over Cuomo in NYC's mayoral primary has sparked a progressive movement demanding change in the Democratic Party. Will this seismic shift lead to more insurgent candidates challenging establishment lawmakers? The time for change is now. #ProgressiveRevolt #Mamdani
This isn’t even time-specific advice. Strong primaries, everywhere, for everything, all the time should be the norm.
Perhaps once you get preferential voting in, then primaries won’t be as necessary.
They’re not a big thing here (Australia), because most people aren’t party members, and each party has various methods of choosing candidates.
I’m just out here proselytising for preferential voting (for single member elections, that is).
Good on the new york democrats for using it at a party level 👍👍👍
