Melton-Meaux reported having $2 million in cash on hand with 3 weeks to go. The primary for the 5th Congressional district is August 11th. Omar reported having $1.1 million dollars in cash on hand.
More importantly, Melton-Meaux raised $323,310 from within the State of Minnesota while Omar raised just $11, 849. That is staggering. Of that total Melton-Meaux raised $236,921 from the 5th district.
Meanwhile, Ilhan Omar raised just $8000 for the entire quarter from her own congressional district. He raised thirty times the amount of money than she did in both her home district and state.
Does anybody think that this is the way elections should be run? The more money, the better the chances?
I do not like Omar at all, and maybe this person is all around a better choice, but why the hell should money even be a motive here to predict?
Is this how politics is in the US?

I really do hope this is a forecast of the election results come Aug. 11. I have had my fill of America hating so called elected officials who represent no one but themselves once in office.

Ilhan Omar facing stunning defeat in Democrat primary August 11

MINNEAPOLIS, MN: Rep Ilhan Omar is on the verge of an earth-shattering defeat in the Democrat Congressional primary August 11. Political newcomer Antone Melton-Meaux (Antone For Congress) is the freshman congresswoman’s opponent. Meltone-Meaux raised more than $3 million dollars in the last quarter compared to $471,000 for Ilhan Omar. His record-breaking haul compared to meager fundraising by Omar comes amidst a storm of controversy over her explosive personal affairs and extreme leftwing anti-American radical sentiments.
Melton-Meaux fundraising smashes Omar in her own district.

You know a Libertarian is a fake Libertarian when they get pissed off when you bring up that Libertarianism stems from Anarchism.
So, I believe you.
People want to identify as something, but not do the research find out what they are wanting to represent. They want it to be whatever they want it to be, but that's not how it works. They end up perverting it, and it becomes something else.
Like people who say capitalism is evil, not realizing that they're are different forms of capitalism. Capitalism can't be evil. Communism can't be evil. Socialism can't be evil. What is evil are the people who intentionally cause suffering onto others regardless of what system they are taking advantage of.
So essentially people who think that getting rid of capitalism will solve all the evils in the world are ignorant. There will still be people taking advantage of other. The people pushing for socialism and communism are going to be the first ones on the chopping block. They aren't going to get any favors for protesting and rioting.
The benefactors will be the very same rich people at the top. The only thing that will change is how they get their money.
And how little less we will end up with.

Got any sources on those claims pertaining to Antone?

Well this thread aged poorly. Omar just won her primary with almost 60% of the vote. And with that Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, and Omar have now all won their primaries by a large margin. Pretty much guaranteeing a second term for all of them.
