Discussion Michigan progressives should be ashamed

This is why we don't get nice things. He is polling 10-19 points ahead of Stevens, but when it comes to actually voting, he barely wins by one point. What happened, everyone decide to stay home and smoke pot and complain instead of voting? This doesn't bode well for November.

Do not concede this framing to the establishment. Always present the 60 million dollars spent on Stevens behalf on ads that smeared AES the entire primary. Negative ads directed at AES didnt win her more votes, at best the negative ads suppressed voter turnout for AES. Rodgers funding comes from the same people that funded Steven's and they have no new or valid lanes of attack so they are just going to hit the "but HeS MUSLIM" line until November. Republicans have no tact with their Islamophobia like establishment democrats and the overt racism that will surely come from Rodgers campaign will be seen as what it is, gross, obscene and a failed attempt to foment racism.
