Learn from Zohran Mamdani’s win and VOTE IN THE PRIMARIES.

Sign up for mailers if you forget to vote. Sign up for mail-in ballots if you have an irregular schedule.

30/50 states have closed primaries, meaning you must be registered as a Democrat to vote in the Democratic primary. Check your state’s primary type here: https://ballotpedia.org/Primary_election_types_by_state

    Then the DNC runs an “independent” in the race against you when you win your primary and the monied interests fund that person, splitting the vote against the MAGA republican who calls them both commies and wins anyway. It’s happening in NYC already with Cuomo remaining on the ballot.

    Adams and the other guy are the MAGA Republicans. Cuomo running as Independent will only take votes from them. They all share the same target demographic: assholes. Adams and Cuomo are pretty much universally hated by anyone who voted Zohran

    And what's more, many people will simply vote for the Dem candidate, for one reason or another. For reasons good and bad - but here, 'vote blue no matter who' works in the favor of the progressive.

    We'll see if it's enough, but it's definitely a disadvantage to the dickweed fascist Cuomo.
