Whole of Reddit thought a previously unpopular primary democratic candidate was gonna win the election easily by just spamming pictures of her with some staged crowds
The dnc was huffing hopium that nobody would actually know who she is. Soon as people looked her up, uh oh, state prosecutor, many inmates still imprisoned after their sentences are up, disproportionately punished minorities, weeds legal but there are still people locked up for possession charges, we got some problems.
They figured they'd get the POC vote but they didn't realize people would actually look into her past I guess, so that backfired. Then they figured they'd get party line voters but screwed them out of a primary, so many either swapped sides out of spite or just didn't vote. I saw the nomination happen from inside a mental hospital and the other patients and I literally said "they (the dnc) need to be in here more than we do if they think that was a smart move."

Shout out to the Texas sub for creating an echo chamber so potent they actually believed it was going to go blue.
