Also Fox news has a fucking meltdown every time DSA wins. Even of you don't agree with the political positions or tactics, we need to sow now so we can reap a healthy crop of slop from the chuds next year.

Yes, and the Wis Dems and their consultants are also fucking shook right now. They've been absolutely fumbling everything in this race.

More people should follow it, it's fucking funny:

  • Socialists started organizing for Hong very early, so she has been in the lead since the beginning of polling
  • Democrats fielded the Lt. Governor Sara Rodriguez, who is a white woman with a Spanish last name from marriage
  • They also fielded Mandela Barnes, the guy who miraculously lost control of the Senate in 2022
  • The County Executive of Milwaukee County David Crowley was polling at less than 1% and dropped out to endorse Sara Rodriguez
  • Dems started consolidating around Rodriguez
  • Rodriguez campaign finance manager was just embezzling the whole time? Turns out the campaign did not have half a million dollars, it had maybe 30k? or maybe negative 100k? We still don't know.
  • Rodriguez dropped out
  • Crowley re-entered the race. He then hired a campaign manager for the first time. This was like a week and a half ago.
  • Mandela Barnes was polling not too far behind Hong, so naturally he started doing epic Twitter clapback maldposting at Crowley just for saying basically "hey guys we're back in the race! ๐Ÿ™‚"
  • Governor Tony "Shitlib" Evers endorsed Crowley
  • Crowley jumped up in polling all the way to 9%. Hong is at like 38%
  • Crowley and the Dem establishment started begging the election board to allow people to spoil and recast their ballots because a lot of people literally early voted right after Crowley dropped out
  • they said "no lol"
  • Dems are suing the election board
  • Hong is just moving on to attacking the Republican
  • Mandela Barnes is slowly bleeding vote share and freaking out between putting out ads of himself in a bar talking to shitty tv commercial actors. But don't worry he's gonna Get Stuff Done and Fight Hard

What a fun story. I love hearing about the establishment eating shit.

My one hope for the DSA is that the DNC and dem establishment are so old and dogshit they just don't even know how to campaign anymore and make people enjoy voting

i asked my uncle and he said something about Barnes not campaigning at all outside of madison and milwaukee which seems like a bad move even though the rest of wisconsin barely has anybody in it.
