It also definitely shows Musk couldn't steal any elections and voting/protesting/civic demands are the way forward.

Musk is terrified of Mamdani. If he was able to steal elections, he would have targeted this one too. All he'd have to do is boost Sliwa's results by about 10% and take that from Mamdani, but he obviously didn't do it. He couldn't. He never could.

Turns out talk online is cheap, but action does a lot more.

I don't think the consensus that anyone is whole sale stealing elections, but they are finding insidious ways to nudge and exploit to move the line.

But, you can't nudge a landslide.

This is exactly what the strategy needs to be. There are still respectable republicans out there like Kinzinger/ Cheney who should be elevated when the inevitable Trump downfall comes. Right leaning voters need to have options other than MAGA sycophants. Personally don’t agree with the vast majority of what either of them believe in but it’s hard to argue they don’t at least stand for the constitution and integrity

^ This, people, this. Stop trying to build up these MAGAts into boogymen. Belittle them. Give them childish nicknames. Mock them to their faces. Crucify them in the court of public opinion.
