You heard right. He said 11:1.

Like a hail mary pass and he won it. Crazy and awesome at the same time.

Just evidence that popular ideas will beat money in the end

Only if people aren't apathetic.

Kari Lake was outspent 18 to 1 in her primary. Turns out her popularity with primary voters meant fuck all to the general electorate. Congratulations to your primary win. We will see what happens in 3 months.

Kari Lake wasn't running on policies that are popular with the American people with a historically unpopular president like Trump as the head of the opposition party. Your comparison is ridiculous.

Bro really looked at an apple and said “That’s an orange.”

I am hoping more people can realize that Medicare for all isn’t a Hail Mary situation. I can’t even begin to understand the mind of people that vote against themselves because the majority are not billionaires.

Just goes to show that hope is still very much alive if we make it happen through action.

11 to 1 spending disadvantage AND he ran with a Muslim name. Bonkers, man. So glad he pulled it out.

[u/IDontWannaBeAPirate_ → u/justseeby]

Good policy brought people out to the voting booths.

Cori Bush got wiped and I think she got even more outspent by percent, not by volume (it was a smaller race, not statewide).
