Avid AmoebaGoddamn it actually happened. This was a nail-biter.
It’s nice to get a win for once
I’m gonna giev them the ol heave ho. Because that is the Michigan way. 😏
I’m really sad that recently I had to know that she exists. So fuckong stupid to hear.
Wow such a small difference. Glad Abdul won but it is so shameful that that much american voted for a witch saying a foreign country that commit genocide is coming to her dream
HappyRapiI think implicitly lying to voters that Obama endorsed her also played a non-negligible role at the last second. But yeah, it never should’ve been this close
Yes and obama should dhould have showed himself and endorse Abdul but obama is pro israel so he wouldn’t do it
I don’t know much about this race, but I would bet his personal endorsement would go the other way, but he’d rather just stay out of it so he doesn’t ruin his reputation. He’s at least smart enough to see the direction things are going, whether he agrees with it or not.
notsureLet’s set the democrat establishment against this front-runner.
I am too tired to add the /s
I don’t think it’s even needed. In fact i dare say the DNC will probably not handle this well at all.
apfelwoiSchoppenCould help Hong in her Wisconsin governor race. Also glad to see Donovan McKinney likely prevail vs. Shri Thanedar, a former company executive that conducted experiments on animals.
Only disappoinment is Cori Bush. Not sure why she didn’t fare any better in her second attempt when the last race was tight.

Republicans and AIPAC dumped MILLIONS against him, calling him everything and anything from their shitty playbook and he still won.
Why? Because he wants Medicare for all, tax the billionaires, abolish ICE
That’s what all Democrats should be running on, instead the establishment is fighting AGAINST people like Abdul and Zohran.
Yes! Eat shit closet Republicans!
If he wins in the general, I’ll be very happy for Michigan and the country in general for electing yet another progressive.
Also, get bent Whitmer, you massive disappointment of a data center-loving establishment Democrat. You may have did some good things, but you’re still a neoliberal.
I’m glad folks did not let a woman who said Israel comes to me in my dreams be the winner man lol.
Congrats Michigan!
Don’t count those chickens yet, race is still too close to call according to every other news organization.
Edit: Hatched!
LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Nyt is saying the race is too close to call with 95% of the vote in
To be fair, it’s difficult to call a close primary election. In general elections, if the, for example, Republican candidate is behind and there are only Democratic leaning areas with votes left to count, you can safely call that election before all the votes are counted.
In a primary, it’s Democratic candidate vs Democratic candidate, (or RvR) so there are no shortcuts to use to call it early. The only shortcut available is if one candidate is farther ahead than there are votes left to count.
It also looks like the AP hasn’t yet called it either.
NYT is a complete joke and also pro Stevens so that’s not surprising
The Muslim invasion of the West continues, one free healthcare at a time.
Here’s hoping this goes as well for them as Hillary’s Trump gambit did for her.
Their belief is probably just that his very Muslim-sounding name and chanting “socialist” is enough for them to propagandize his general election bid and scare off enough closet racists in the center.
I wish I could be confident that that won’t work. But as Trump proved, propaganda can work and work well, and anti-Muslim sentiment has been a daily staple for Fox News and the right for decades. I just hope that people surprise me.
Did the people stand up? Let’s set the democrat establishment against them…
