Mastodon MigrationJuliana Stratton wins Democratic primary for Senate in Illinois, making her the likely next Senator replacing retiring Dick Durban.
This is a big deal. Stratton ran to the left of the other candidates. She said she would not vote for Chuck Schumer for leader and ran an ad with people saying F--k Trump. She was endorsed and supported by Governor JB Pritzker. IL is a very Dem state, so it is very likely Stratton will be the next Senator replacing retiring Dick Durban.
DB@mastodonmigration Great news
It is indeed! Both for Illinois and the Senate, but also for what it portends, hopefully, for future primary races and the general election.
This is a big part of taking our country back. This is what it looks like.
She was opposed by Crypto, AI and AIPAC PACs and won anyway. A good day for democracy.
@mastodonmigration Indeed
David Fleetwood - RG Admin@lawyersgunsnmoney @mastodonmigration I was going to ask who opposed her, sounds like the right groups so congrats to her.

#DickDurban is a dick, and so, good riddance!
Now, let's just hope #JBPritzker makes it to the White House instead of #Newsom from #California who is in the pocket of #SiliconValley #billionaires and who is now fighting #wealthTax on wealthy Americans. #EatTheRich
Bebadefabo@rameshgupta Hollywood knows what you put out needs to play with middle America. Let's see if the Dems can realize Newsom doesn't play with middle America before it's too late
jandi@mastodonmigration I see "Durban" is not a typo, since there's a #DickDurban hashtag and all... care to explain the meaning? I don't get it (I'm spanish)
