Jason @odd-complex.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Mamdani won with 1,114,184 votes to Cuomo’s 906,614 and Silwa’s 153,749, so not that many more people actually turned out to support him after the primary and he was offering a lot of what people say they want.

Jason @odd-complex.bsky.social · 07/10/2026You’re free to look up the numbers yourself, they’re public. 1,016,398 people voted in the Dem primaries, around 29.9% of those registered. No extrapolation required. 200

Jason @odd-complex.bsky.social · 07/10/2026On average, about 20% vote in primaries, though around 35% vote in the primaries in California and Oregon. Everyone else is below that. So, in 48 of 50 states, less than a third of voters are choosing their candidates. That’s why I say they have poor representation, because they aren’t voting for it 100
Jason @odd-complex.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Again, I’m talking about the PRIMARY, not the actual election. Yes, lots of people came out to vote in the election, very few came to vote in the primary, the part where they’re picking their candidate. 100
