Over progressives. They spend more time shit posting about our own party than beating Republicans. I say El Sayed wins easily. I’m from MI originally and he will turn out the metro Detroit area. A lot of the racists won’t show up to vote for either of them.

I agree. Aside from midterms we are electing a new governor Buckeyeblue Jul 10 #13

It looks like Jocelyn Benson is a good choice for the Dems. And she's polling well. But the polls are kinda old. LeftInTX Jul 10 #15

John James is going to win the primary Buckeyeblue Jul 10 #16

Not sure our state is ready to elect someone named Abdul El-Sayed MichMan Jul 10 #7

They voted for a guy named Barack Obama EdmondDantes_ Jul 10 #10

Yes, but our country doesn't elect the same parties nominee for president for three consecutive terms MichMan Jul 10 #11

It doesn't even do two consecutive terms in a row anymore Polybius Jul 10 #18

Could, not should. Michigan is trending more conservative in the past two decades. LeftInTX Jul 10 #12

Dems need to realize the economy wasn't good JBTaurus83 Jul 10 #14

Two big differences though Polybius Jul 10 #17

There are also more current differences JBTaurus83 Jul 10 #19

It's not about who Democrats or Republicans will vote for in the general, it's about who Independents will Raftergirl Jul 10 #8

I have no idea. LeftInTX Jul 10 #9

Rogers seems to be the standard Bush/Dave McCormick-type of Republican Polybius Saturday #20

I got my stats from Wikipedia. LeftInTX Saturday #21

Rural areas in Michigan are also growing population wise DetroitLegalBeagle Saturday #22
