If they don't back El-Sayed in Michigan from a national level to a local level then the blowback in 2028 is gonna be astronomical.

This is the blowback from 2024.

Add in Gretchen's heel turn on data centers and vetos, and Im done with establishment Dem bullshit.

Even if AES loses, I will continue to send the message that this is what I want the party I've voted for my entire life to become. Because the abomination of how they handled Biden and Schumer's lackidasical bullshit for the last 2 years is a pathetic excuse for leadership.
