to become enlightened. Independents and the silent majority of nonvoters get it. America is rigged and broken. Even Trump supporters are more enlightened than oligarchic Dems in this sense.

What we bring to the table is a rationale for actually voting. But in a heavily oligarchic state like NY, voter suppression and a closed primary are designed to keep hacks like Clinton and Cuomo in office.

You add in all the independents denied the right to vote yesterday and I suspect we win even in the belly of the beast.
