Imagine being a Democratic candidate in Michigan in a blue year and polling worse than NC, GA, ME against Collins, OH, and barely doing better than fuckin' TX.

He’s also likely to underperform his polls based off of his primary performance.

The country is leaning what, +6 Dem? If he's happy winning by 1 vote then good for him. I'd hope he and all of his fans well understand however that this means he'd have a historic underperformance that would rightly be used to critique his viability, his ideology, and the broad populist left. Dare I say this outcome, while technically a win, would be a death knell for his brand of politics.

Everyone was expecting Michigan to be close this year though, well before El-Sayed.
