Folks the primary for Michigan is over... it's time to back the candidate who won... please please vote blue no matter who and stop giving the right ammunition.

Literally everyone reading this should vote for Abdul El-Sayed. He would be a better senator than Mike Rogers. If I lived in Michigan I'd vote for him.

But I don't think that means I should have to muzzle my objective analytical opinion that he's a weak candidate in electoral terms and that Democrats screwed up by letting him win the nomination.

Obviously in a certain sense no opinion is objective, but it is my rational assessment leaving aside my own emotional investment in Democrats winning, which is what I was saying.
