She's self righteous, but there’s a grain of truth there.
Having super progressives win every primary is the Republicans' wet dream. Sanders runs in an urban state where he can win nearly every county; AOC represents The Bronx and Queens. Elissa beat a progressive candidate, a former actor, in the Democratic primary with 76% of the vote, yet won the general by 0.3%.
No way even AOC or Bernie would win there.
So, heck, what is she supposed to do? She already voted against the funding bill.
Dem governor, majority Dem senate, 5-2 Dem supreme court, home of the UAW, first city to decriminalize weed, highest concentration of Arab-Americans in the country, originators of the “Uncommitted” movement, witness to the Flint water crisis…
Bernie won MI in the 2016 primary, despite trailing Hillary by 20% in polls.
That chart shows people being pissed off at the Democratic national party. Not being afraid of progressive politics. Slotkin’s passivity isn’t going to help.
Eh, if anything it just shows where the people are. Ie, cities.
