I forgot how much that state loves drama on election nights. pure michigan, baby.
there's gonna be a bunch of cope about how it not being a blowout is actually a loss for the left and it's gonna fall flat because a win's a win's a win's a win. Abdul El-Sayed is the next Senator from Michigan.

A lot of people on here remain bitter about the version of Uncommitted they made up in their heads while high profile members of the actual Uncommitted are becoming mayors, state senators, members of Congress and maybe even part of the US Senate. In some cases, with establishment support.

this is an example of the thing i talk about in that it sucks how trans people are constantly forced to be diplomats to cis people because there's a good chance you might be one of the only trans people they've consciously met, but precisely for that reason there's an outsized humanizing effect imo.
