MI-GOV: Abdul continues his daily scorched earth attacks against Whitmer.

128. I grew up in Flint, and I'm a big fan of Michael's.

My dad worked for GM, so Roger and Me was especially meaningful. I think El-Sayed would be fine as Governer. He's just horrible as a candidate. I don't agree with the OR/Justice Democrat scorched earth tactics. They are harmful and as it turns out, not effective. They are poisoning what could have otherwise been an effective, growing progressive movement for this country. It's a shame. El-Sayed was hoping for and expecting UAW's support and they gave it to Whitmer instead. I'd be willing to bet his OR/Bernie/Tad Devine campaign style had a lot to do with it.

The Dem party coalition has already been moving to the left for some time. Whitmer is a good progressive candidate. I feel like rewarding the tactics El-Sayed is using, particularly when he isn't likely to win anyway, will only make it worse. The OR wing will either learn and adjust and we'll finally get a good, effective progressive wing, or they'll become irrelevant, like the Green party.
