It’s an earthquake to have Bernie Sanders’s candidate defeat Gretchen Whitmer’s candidate in Michigan. But the real goal is to keep Donald Trump’s candidate from winning this seat.

      That question doesn’t make sense. You might as well be asking why Democrats didn’t rally behind Nikki Haley. Still, my answer remains the same:

      It’s wrong to blame the voters for a garbage candidate. Please stop doing that, and demand better of our “representatives” instead.

        that logic excuses voters for trump and i’m not ready to do that.

          *it’s wrong to blame the voters for a garbage candidate that they didn’t want

          Repubs went trump because their base demanded it with insurrections. Dems went harris against the will of their people. That’s the difference.

        Vote blue no matter who, I would have voted Mallory, Haley, or Abdul. Now that things are decided I’ll vote Abdul like.most if not all Michigan dems.
