When you decide the winner of the office in a primary race, it's time to change things up.
This is a good case-in-point for always considering the other political party. If you will always vote for your political party in order to keep the other one from losing, then your political party never has to do anything for you, the voter. Politicians should never be able to count on votes from various blocs (Blacks, Evangelicals, gun owners, city dwellers, etc), because then they can move on from those blocs and concentrate on the ones on the fence.
So if a city collectively never considers voting for a Republican for a mayor, which is the case in several large cities over the past 50 or 75 years, then Democratic candidates don't really have to do anything, because they know people will vote for them anyway.
This goes the other way, of course. If a state or place continues to elect Republicans for decades on end, then Republicans don't ever have to actually do anything.
