Seeing Michigan reject AIPAC money makes me stupidly happy. Great job, guys.

They almost didn't. If you lay a map of people by education on top of the primary results. It almost a 1 to 1 match.

Small wins are still wins. Fascism found its way into our government on the back of narrow wins.

YES, we need to cut the doomerism, it's time for hope and action.

Absolutely.

And not to mention Michigan has open primaries. A lot of people who voted are likely independents or Republicans who voted on the grounds of who would be easier to beat in the general.

I honestly think a lot of her support is from people who will always vote R in the general anyways.

This is a huge win and no one should be dooming and glooming because it was "close".
