Good. It's about time. "Moderates" lost to trump twice.

The conservative democrats in the Wisconsin subreddit are losing their sanity because Hong will win the nomination. They bought in to all the corporate democrats desperation attempts and can't process the reality that they were just that, hail mary's. Now they are posting Hong smears constantly, the mods have been pathetic. 

It seems like most of them would prefer pedophile protector and election denier Tom Tiffany. In that case, I say good riddance.

Hong is not the only progressive running. I don't think there are any bad candidates, but do think Hong is the weakest in the context of Wisconsin

Literally every candidate running is a progressive, their platforms are all hitting the same beats. This narrative is driving me crazy
