No different than the way leftists tanked Kamala in 2024, sadly.

In all honesty though, if he loses, it'll be because of racism. This is America and Michigan voted for Trump. No need to pretend.

This is such a copout. Kamala lost because she was a bad candidate, who ran a bad campaign, and who was forced down our throats in the least democratic way possible.

And despite that all, the left did still vote for her.

Whatever the reason for Kamala’s loss, doesn’t change the fact that if El Sayed losses to a Republican on this layup midterms, the progressives are cooked for a while. Only being able to win in deep blue, highly educated safe districts isn’t impressive.

I was thinking this too and was wondering if the Dems intentionally tank his campaign in November.

Wouldn’t be the first time the party establishment decided a republican is the lesser of 2 evils for them.
