So, what do you think of Minnesota? We have/still have higher than most states for voter turn out. 76% of our state turned out for the 2024 election and that I consider low!!

I’m referring specifically to the congressional primaries. That’s where we replace the centrist Democrats with progressives who will move the Overton Window back towards the left.

Looks like you had 15.1% statewide in 2024

primary

Do you consider that to be a higher amount or a lower amount? I saw that our state fluctuates between 9-28?

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.
