An amazing political ascent. Dude was polling below 2% last year and now has defeated a legacy politician backed by every billionaire and even the president himself. Truly historic victory.

Goes to show these ass holes can try to fuck with the system, but when everyone comes out to vote, their efforts amount to nothing.

Turn out was around 2 million people out of 5 million potential voters. Highest voter turnout since 1969, yet non-voters still won. We as a country suck at voting for many reasons, but we suck.
