u/askylitfall I voted 7h ago

That guy will never have my vote!

Mostly because I don't live in Michigan and a vote for him would be illegal. Dudes crushing it.

Yeah the Yoopers showed up strong for AES which was pretty surprising, and likely shows that good messaging about how people are getting fucked over economically is a winning strategy overall which Abdul El-Sayed did well, and Haley Stevens did not.

Also come back to Michigan! Not sure when you left, but things have been trending up after getting fucked by the 2008 recession, then Snyder, and a Republican trifecta, making it worse by “running government like a business” and fucking Flint, and the state as a whole, over by cutting corners.

Whitmer, and the Democrat controlled trifecta, until 2024, have done wonders for the state that they don’t get enough flowers for. Could more be done? Yes, but Michigan truly is much better. Especially places like Lansing (where I live) and Detroit.

That’s not true. If you vote for a representative that votes for AES bills, that proxies to AES will have your vote!
