The States 2: States Rights for Me But Not for Thee

Republicans have committed $45M to electing Florida resident Mike Rogers to Michigan's open Senate seat. They know Haley Stevens isn't popular with progressives.

Taking AIPAC money feels like a purity test.

Can McMarrow thread the needle? Or is she just too vanilla? I liked her when she made her senate speech but just turned out to be another corporate Dem. IDK.
 
If anything, she's done too much needle-threading. Given that over a third of those polled are allegedly still Undecided, I suppose it could still pay off.

There's a clear line drawn where certain loud groups have "their" candidate locked in - the AIPAC "Everyone is an antisemite!" bunch and Bloomfield/Birmingham country club libs have Stevens, Arabs and the Red Army Faction have el-Sayed, and Concerned Suburban Moms have McMorrow.

I am guessing blacks are probably still largely Undecided, especially black women. They trust no one, and rightfully so. 55-60% of white men will vote for Rogers, so you and I aren't the target demo and just have to VBNMW. Yes, even when the megadonors inevitably succeed in shoving Stevens down our throat to maximize their shot at getting Rogers and more tax cuts.

Also, the so-called "ModSquad" couldn't come up with their own fuckin caucus name? Lame.
 
I’d vote for el-Sayed in a heartbeat if I lived in Michigan. He’s viable in a Democratic primary. If he’s not, what the fuck is the point of the primary? Don’t let the money talk, let the votes talk. If you’re progressive, sounds like el-Sayed is your guy.
