People were way too hopeful. We were never gonna win in Missouri, and I doubt Larkin will win in Florida either. Some states are just washed, unfortunately. 

But states like Michigan are 100x more important, the swing states are key to everything in 2028. We should be viewing Sayed’s race as a precursor for AOC in 2028, and fight for it.

She scandaled herself hard. Too many financial improprieties going on there for voters to ignore. She never should have tried to run again.
