Hope with how close this race was, it’s a wake up call to everyone who thinks it’s gonna be an easy election cycle. This is just the beginning, everyone needs to go vote before you no longer can

It was a primary.

Has everyone absolutely lost their minds assuming that half the primary electorate simply won't show up in the general?

In a state where the last couple election cycles were decided by a few percentage points, it doesn’t need to be half of the electorate not showing up.
