In every election except for the 2020 General Election, and I guess the 2022 General Election in Arizona, the losing party has simply cried a river, built a bridge, and gotten over it.

No one ever seems to contest Primaries, even in States with Open Primaries.

Trump and Lake seem to be the only two that refuse to understand that their constituents chose someone else to lead.

I'm sure if you interviewed the whole population, less than a third would even know what the primaries are.

Even less would know that municipal elections exist. It's insane how many people will brag about who they voted for president but have no idea who's running for mayor in their own city.

Yes, you can tell just by voter turnout percentages. I was really hoping that all the attention elections were getting would help people understand that your local elections matter just as much, if not more, but instead we just got a buncha tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorists who just go deeper every time their theory is debunked.
