I mean, if more people here in NYC voted against Eric Adams in the mayoral race (who won the primary by less than 1% against a much better candidate), we would have a more functional city government- i.e., something that tangibly affects our day-to-day lives, in terms of housing costs, transportation access, education, health care, etc. To say nothing of the dozens of other elected offices covering our own districts, which in aggregate are at least as important as the mayor's office.
So maybe at some point, we can collectively wake up to the fact that presidential elections aren't the only thing happening in the country
