My ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.
You can all get your foot off her neck now.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 6h agoA gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
For comparison, here's primary turnout rates for 2022 & 2018. Michigan's primary turnout rate Decreased. Which, I found surprising. Missouri hit in the 30% range, possibly as high as 35% idk yet. But, yes, Michigan's is looking low considering wtf is goin on rn

It’s one of the tricks we’ve been trying to warn people about. The looney left releases bs inner polls to drive their narrative, boost their popularity, & suppress the vote.
Aprile529@aprile529.bsky.social · 8h agoDid all those people lie to pollsters, did his supporters not show up because they knew he was winning anyway (I heard that excuse in 2016 a lot), have they actually called this race for him yet?
Russia just used a cluster bomb in Kyiv Cluster bombs used against civilians is a war crime This has to end Putin has to be “put away” People can only take so much and there is absolutely no reason for this other than Russia are blood thirsty criminals

Air travel has gotten dramatically cheaper That means more people can do it You can still buy first class tickets if you want them
Revan@revan.eurosky.social · 17h agoSo this is basically one of the entry points to becoming a reactionary
Since someone will ask at some point…All precincts in Dearborn have reported. Abdul won 77.59% of the vote. He had 15,899 votes. In other words, he had 710 more votes than Kamala Harris & 85 less votes than Elissa Slotkin did when Trump won the city with 42.48%.
If you’re watching the Haley Stevens vote Kornacki said Wayne County (big for her) won’t come in until 3-5 am
