Welcome to c/electoralism! politics isn't just about voting or running for office, but this community is.

Americans are such racist, cringe loving scum, this should've been an easy blowout, 65% at the least, not some ravor-thin slugfest
A woman clearly putting on an insulting fake accent screaming about how "Israel comes to me in my dreeeaamms!!" openly paid millions by AIPAC and half the state was like "hell yeah she's cool"
Race and identity are everything in America, this election proves it, Sayed literally DID AND SAID EVERYTHING class reductionists claimed a candidate should if they wanted a plurality of support, the perfect model minioirty campagin with no gaffes or flups, but here he is winning based on a margin of thousands in a state of 10 million
A candidate who explicitly ran an anti-identity politics campaign (that I too thought was the smart move) has won, but lost the political mandate and momentum that a blowout would've given him, which is something Republicans will hone in on during the state general
Literally the only thing Stevens did in Detroit was pretend Obama endorsed her. He didn't, but it's so stupid that the PERCEPTION of an Obama endorsement makes it this close.
Arabic names scare midwesterners.
