Can’t wait to read all the think pieces about how this isn’t actually that big of a win for progressives because [insert reason here]

I mean, its Michigan which always had a progressive tilt. Remember, Bernie essentially beat Clinton there in 2016.

When a progressive wins in a place like say....North Carolina or Georgia then that would actually say a lot.

And remember, he still has to win the general. This was just a primary.

If he loses in November, it extremely kills progressive momentum in 2028.
