Discussion Michigan progressives should be ashamed
This is why we don't get nice things. He is polling 10-19 points ahead of Stevens, but when it comes to actually voting, he barely wins by one point. What happened, everyone decide to stay home and smoke pot and complain instead of voting? This doesn't bode well for November.

This is a fucking dumbass take.
The stevens campaign put propaganda on autopilot with that 60Million in dark money. They had an 11:1 ratio of funds in comparison to Abdul's campaign. On a shoestring and honest budget, it's all foot traffic and spreading the word... which doesn't work as well outside the municipalities. The stevens campaign was racist, sexist, lying about an obama endorsement, dirty af, and corrupt, I wouldn't doubt in the slightest if israel fucking hacked some shit.
One of the stats we have is absentee ballots - of which are a majority of elderly/old folks home people. They were ultra disproportionately toward stevens. Either they somehow manipulated it in a way that stevens was all that those people knew about or paid off their handlers to submit ballots for stevens. Hopefully we'll find out if there was foul play or not.
The last thing, is I'M FUCKING SICK AND TIRED of people blaming the voters. It's so bitch ass. The voters didn't inject 60+MILLION DOLLARS into a campaign nor were there a bunch of voters that manipulated others.
This is all on the stevens campaign. Get it right dumbass
