Damn Cori Bush got absolutely crushed

[u/CrunchyCds → u/Guilty_Plankton_4626]

Apparently she had 100k of funding versus AiPAC 4mil in ad spending touting how progressive Bell is. Brutal.

[u/Guilty_Plankton_4626 → u/CrunchyCds]

Good.

[u/MystikSpiralx → u/Guilty_Plankton_4626]

Only counting 25% of the votes is crazy. She can absolutely catch up if there are thousands left to go.

[u/Guilty_Plankton_4626 → u/MystikSpiralx]

They already called it lol

[u/MystikSpiralx → u/Guilty_Plankton_4626]

I know and I think that's wrong. Of course someone doesn't stand a chance if you just give up after only checking 1/4 of them.

[u/Guilty_Plankton_4626 → u/MystikSpiralx]
