Francesca Hong is the holiday-hating DSA Democrat who had been trying to scrub all her crazy past comments from social media to be in a better position to take on Republican Tom Tiffany in the November election.
Hong won't have to worry about doing that anymore because the race has been called for her Democrat primary opponent.

That final result certainly doesn't match what the polls had been saying leading up to primary election day:

Hong was way up according to polls.
Oh, and this also happened last night which has raised some eyebrows:

Completely fine. This is just how democracy works guys. Just trust the process when the people who hate you control the process https://t.co/S72oveIvwt

This kind of thing happens (California can take over a month to tabulate the results) and yet the Dems think that being skeptical or having questions is a "threat to democracy."
So establishment Democrats blocked the crazy socialist in Wisconsin.

Wonder how that will go over with the younger college voters.
Bernie Sanders might have seen it coming because he declined to endorse Hong.
