    They’re already out trying to spin his win as a failure because he didn’t win by a big enough margin.

    This guy is literally facing the camera saying “I’m not a socialist. I am a capitalist, who wants the rich to pay their fair share.” and the establishment is screeching communism.

    Idk how it can’t be more plainly clear that we are in a class struggle against the ultra rich.

      They won’t mention the difference in funds between him and his opponent. She spent tens of millions of dollars more than he did, and she still lost.

      This is absolutely a win.

      The better question is why anyone would think that socialism would be considered a dirty word in the Rust Belt? If anything, they’re helping him. Traditionally blue Michigan voted red in 2024 and it wasn’t because Kamala Harris was too socialist.

      Not a failure at all, but yes to quash the MAGAts these wins need to be decisive and unequivocal that the people want change. A win by 13 % is great it’s a win, but it’s not a message loud enough.

          Let’s hope for the U.S.’s fate it continues the Republicans with Trump have done untold damage to your reputation that will take generations to repair if ever.

          No trade deal signed with the U.S. is worth the paper it’s printed on.

          The constant belief that the free market will make health care affordable.

          The constant lies and untruths told by Republicans.

          You want a sobering reminder of what large swaths of the U.S. are like? Watch “the good liars” on YouTube. The guys from the “daily show” go around talking to people. It’s funny but depressing to watch. These are the people you’re voting against.
