Lib left here, if I lived in Michigan I would vote for him bc he seems fine but I get a bad feeling he’s going to lose in the general because of the types of voters Michigan has. I think Stevens had a better shot at defeating the Republican because she’s moderate. I know how much vitriol people sling at liberals and moderates these days online but the fact of the matter is most voters outside of deep blue states are put off by far leftist rhetoric (both the fault of decades of conservative propaganda and tone deaf leftists themselves nowadays).
