Ritchie Torres has no reason to act smug about his primary victory after winning 23K votes in a district of 750,000 people. This is not a victory resulting from mass support.
For Torres, voter disengagement is not a problem to solve. It is his political safety net.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.
