The best part about the MN results so far is that primary turnout really does predict the general election results very well!

Combined with dsa and other leftist endorsed candidates (versus less stridently socialist orgs like Indivisble) that's not too far below how many tea party candidates knocked off incumbents in 2010.

That's how it is in most of these, too. You can usually look at a primary election and carry that over to the general no problem, not just in MN.

i was wondering why the Working Families Party hadn't sent me anything about Bryce in a while, i guess he's a deadbeat dad or something? regardless it owns that he won his primary
we're quick to blame the party for promoting bad candidates and rightfully so, but the fact is that voters are plenty stupid too, especially when it comes to statewide races

The thing is the more nationally identified leftists like Bryce had opponents that largely agreed with them, disagreeing only in degree.

It's a Sanders oriented incoming class next Nov.

Except for Ed Case, who is a goddamn horror show.

one thing I'll say about the WI Gov race is that I'm actually really surprised that Paul Soglin got piledriven this hard. I expected him to be a top 3 finisher, he ended up being 7th out of 8

It didn't hurt that the Madison vote got drawn off to Mitchell/Roys but still

it was a pretty clear-cut difference between Kara Eastman and her opponent too. idk about the people who beat Greg Edwards and Brent Welder

One thing I'm happy to see tonight is that Mandela Barnes thwomped his opponent by nearly 40%

Unfortunately Arvina lost to Doug La Folette because the name of Fightin' Bob isn't going to die in this state anytime within living memory

Welder's opponent Sharice David was a identity superstar who was lesbian, Native American, and trans, but wasn't really talking the talk on healthcare or even pot legalization. Still, her background seems marginalized enough that it's not impossible to push her towards supporting more and more left positions, so it's not like the Case win.
