      With Mandami, people voted in the primary, selected a progressive, and then he won in the general election.

      Vote in the primaries. That’s the whole trick.

        For newbies: “the primary” in the US is the selection process for who you get to vote for in the coming election.

        Democrats and Republicans each have their own primary to select a candidate for the district where you live.
