This will be the new narrative. They’ll call it underperformance despite beating 100 million dollars of AIPAC spending and everyone in the media and in both parties attacking and smearing him nonstop for months on end.

voting is a political tool. the problem
is, the vast majority of us think voting is our ONLY political tool & that’s where we lose power. the most radical changes to this country didn’t happen in a voting booth. vote, sure. but our political engagement cannot end there, it can’t.

91% of the vote in:
Buffalo for the first time will have a Human Rights Commission and a Police Advisory Commission.
Human Rights will get subpoena power to investigate employers, landlords -- maybe cops, too.
Police will hear complaints from the public & work on policy.

Angie Nixon (Democratic Socialist, abandoned by Dem leadership) just outperformed Kamala Harris (handpicked by Dem leadership, ran to the right) by 5+ points in MAGA red Florida.
There's a lesson to be learned here!
