This is true, but (using the democratic governor's primary race total votes cast, which is maybe imperfect) turnout just about tripled from 2014 to 2018 (important because they're midterm years). I'm optimistic going into November. Anyway, my point is, vote Hawkins. Green Wave 2018.

It’s gonna be close. what gives me pause in SD-22 is that dem turnout was absurdly low compared to other districts with a competitive primary. Gounardes ended up winning with fewer than 10,000 votes. maybe anti-incumbency outrage took the day, because last year's Dem primary election in NYC council district 43 (the heart of Golden's district) had a higher percentage of votes than places with a primary that had an incumbent involved get that OUT of my face has issued a correction as of 20:29 on Sep 14, 2018 |

that upstate expert friend of mine invited me to check out Amanda Kirchgessner. she won her primary up around the Finger Lakes and will be challenging Tom O'Mara. her campaign logo looks like a sign for a diner, but she seems pretty drat good- she supports NYHA, ending cash bail, legalizing weed, and a state-level job guarantee. i'd be down to make some calls for her edit: i'm really getting into the primary turnout numbers, and i just found a big red flag about SD-22. 21.8% of registered democrats voted there, compared to 27.7% in SD-58 (O'Mara's district). i imagine that neither dem bothered to venture too far outside of Bay Ridge, especially not into the far-flung parts of the district like Marine Park. i gotta think that Golden's gonna survive yet again get that OUT of my face has issued a correction as of 21:05 on Sep 14, 2018 |

NKD and several other progressive Democrat groups have made a coalition to put their own slate of people in the executive board, and they've sent out their own proxy card to counteract the inconvenience of the time and place of the meeting. for some reason, Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats withdrew from the coalition. i'm sure we'll learn more about why as the meeting gets closer

IDC stooges are being whiny bitches, as expected i hate to say it, but we should probably get rid of the fusion voting system that allows this. it's outlived its usefulness in the wake of so many progressive Democrat and other lefty groups showing their worth in NY and elsewhere. it made sense 30 years ago but it's counterproductive now
