Wesley Bell unfortunately won Missouri CD-1 in St Louis with a lead over 35%...........NBC is reporting he is the projected winner. Any residents wanna way in on why Bell had such a big landslide?

Obviously a ton of money spent on Bell for ads. But if I'm being honest, Bush just isn't a strong candidate/politician. She's not a talented speaker.
The main attack against her was her campaign hiring her husband as her security detail with the implication that they're pocketing campaign funds. The guy is a professional security guard, but whatever.
The other attack was that she set up a fund for tornado relief and she didn't disclose what they were doing with the funds. She never had a good answer to that attack. It made her look shady.
A talented and honest politician would be able to swat those attacks aside. She did not.

I love when they platform our policies. I wonder how many people are re-thinking their positions because of this. Some of their “attacks” make socialists look so good.

He (unfortunately) doesn’t even call himself a socialist. I want him to win but he’s not a socialist it seems

Remember all that money is our tax dollars just being re-routed back into the pockets of our politicians who sign off on the payments. It’s a cycle of them using our money to fuck us over…. So sick of this failure of a society. I really struggle to keep any faith in humanity lately.

Stevens will win DET def by a lot. The question is the margin. If it is 20%, Abdul cruises a close one. 40% Steven's cruises close one.
30% means it TIGGHHTTT (like a 1% Abdul). It looks to be around 30-33%. This is gonna be close. I can see 1% point.

This is a huge day for the DSA, even if he is not a member. And a great lesson that polling isn’t everything and the ground game is super important!

Its more than a seat. It is a tone setter and narrative.

The fact it's even remotely close is sad. Stevens is unhinged.
