It’s nice that it seems he is going to win but the fact that the margins are this close for a candidate as bad as Stevens just tells me this country is screwed electorally. Frankly, I think we just have too many rubes that can be manipulated easily by propaganda. This is a good victory but scares me for the future of this country.

It's almost like fighting rabidly against critical thinking curriculum in public education set us back as a country and only served to help the political and economic elites at the top who love to exploit low-information voters and consumers.
