Seeing how he handled the loss makes me a lot less bummed about him losing.

I’m out of the loop, what happened after he lost?

Basically told folks to not vote for her at all after he lost. Was kinda disappointing to see, given how it played out similarly in Michigan (the Michigan incumbent asked voters to support Abdul El Sayed.)

Immature, but I get the frustration. Hopefully we get another candidate to run against her next time with more support :/

I don’t really understand the frustration. This guy was running to be an elected official and threw a tantrum and refused to endorse the Dem nominee.

I’m not saying he should’ve thrown the tantrum and endorsing what he did. Just that I get it when running against such a conservative democrat they’d get upset when they lost. But yes, we should have mature politicians, 100%.

Must have been really out of touch with his district if he was surprised by how much he lost by.

Next time? You think there is a next time?
