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.

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.

@lawyersgunsnmoney @mastodonmigration I was going to ask who opposed her, sounds like the right groups so congrats to her.
