    If that were true Analilia Mejia wouldn’t have beaten Tom Malinowski. She did.

    If that were true, Cuomo would’ve beaten Mamdani. He didn’t.

    If that were true Janet Mills would be winning her primary. She’s not.

      Yep, we’ve thwarted them for now, in a few exceptional instances.

      But a few examples don’t matter in the long run. Look at what happened after Ross Perot. They’re already figuring out how to strengthen their hold on our institutions so these few scattered examples aren’t repeatable.
