Good times!

Now it looks like they are the new machine. With low turnouts, activists are the only ones who vote in the primaries, and Republicans or third party candidates aren’t going to win, so effectively, the activists run the borough.

But something like fewer than 25% of eligible voters bothered to vote.

I agree. I didn’t mean to imply it’s futile. Ousting corrupt politicians like Bragg not only can be done, it should be done. I’m just pointing out it takes a lot of people working closely together. Intimidating phone calls will be made. Threats will be made, and possibly implemented. Shrinking violets need not apply. Fortunately, as you pointed out in a prior post, New York produces a lot of Vickie Paladino’s!
