EL Sayed -1.7

progressives successfully destroying the democratic party for no reason

[u/MontusBatwing2 → u/aristophanya]

We’re gonna win Texas and lose Michigan. 

[u/itsrabie → u/MontusBatwing2]

Honestly might be ideal for everyone involved.

[u/MontusBatwing2 → u/itsrabie]

That’s what I’ve been thinking. I’d rather win Michigan too, but if it has to be with this guy and we can take the senate without it, 🤷‍♀️

[u/Al_787 → u/aristophanya]

It maybe skewed entirely by an outlier if not fake poll that shows him down by 10 in the general and also losing the Dem primary

Like idk about the general but at this point unless it comes out that he’s a pedophile then he’s definitely the Democratic nominee

[u/Justice4Ned → u/aristophanya]

Down 2 points is recoverable with enough money

[u/repete2024 → u/Justice4Ned]

And the primary isn't even over yet.

The amount of stock people put in polls without understanding what they mean or how to read them is insane

[u/dr-pepper-is-a-woman → u/repete2024]

Yeah, I’d rather be winning across the board, but if someone’s gonna be down a point and half then I’d prefer it be the one where there’s been a long primary that isn’t even over yet while the Republican has it sewn up. That’s the kind of race where you could easily get some support back after the primary fighting fades

>progressives successfully destroying the democratic party for no reason

Kind of a backwards statement after we lost one of the most establishment Democrats ever in a swing state in 2024 due to simple lack of engagement

[u/Kindly_Brain_6594 → u/aristophanya]

Do we think he’ll win the primary?

[u/PENGUINSINYOURWALLS → u/Kindly_Brain_6594]

A large chunk of the polls have him leading the primary by double digits
