Again mass oversimplification for the sake of selling said viewpoint. There is also Abdul El Sayed on the ballot. A Democratic socialist yet you word it in a way that there's only two options. Sounds like either a foreign shill or not with an obvious agenda.
Its not oversimplification, the only ones that spew the 'discourage voting' bullshit are the VBNMW liberals that wouldnt vote for someone like El Sayed to begin with. In their worldview there are only 2 options, the red fascist or the blue fascist, who they dont see as fascist.
Yeah. Whitmer, who sold us out at the eleventh hour, in favor of data centers. Knowing she's term limited so she can do whatever the hell she wants. Daughter of a health insurance CEO. A huge benefactor of DTE bribes. Hugged Trump and kissed the ring for a couple of jets.
Didn’t Whitmer just get caught on a hot mic telling a billionaire that she’s “used to” ignoring the will of the voters? Fuck her. At least Republicans are honest about their contempt for us. Democrats lie to your face.
In a way it kind of is, I’d rather someone be an open and honest fascist than a closet fascist/fascist collaborator. Easy to read intentions and I know to expect absolutely nothing from you but pain.
Not that I've seen evidence of. There was an article posted from some right-leaning hack website that's said as much in a title but when you read the article the quote they had could've been interpreted a bunch of ways and the most natural reading of it didn't imply that at all. So until I see any evidence, that story is bullshit.
Whitmer has done a lot of good for the state, but is imperfect, and it doesn't really matter to me who she endorses because I'm supporting progressives in the primaries. I miss having politicians with bold, uplifting visions for the future I don't care if "they can't ever get that done." Give me a thousand dreamers who can't get it done over anyone who acts like it's the oligarch's world and we can only turn up the A/C on our slow descent into hell. And who knows — they just might lay the foundation to attain those dreams.

The level of political rot in this country is at comical levels, as we can see from this race.
There is NOTHING Stevens is better on than Abdul. NOTHING. I cannot believe this horseshit

She's better at taking AIPAC money

She's better at grifting with an AI datacenter building husband. Abdul can't claim that

It really is sad though that 99% of politicians here have completely sold us out. We’re on our own. Nobody is coming to save us

This kind of doomerism is an AIPAC/GOP/Big Tech talking point designed to discourage voting and you might want to consider not spreading it

If the choices for voting is red fascist or blue fascist there is no point

'If the choices for voting is red fascist or blue fascist there is no point.'
A simple repaste of your original comment to show the obvious oversimplification meant to discourage voting

You must vote for Abdul El-Sayed even harder, the future of this country depends on it

Jfc the Republicans are doing so much more shit than they admit to. Imagine what they could be doing that makes what they say out loud ok to them.
Not defending whitmer but saying the GOP is better because they admit to some heinous shit is nonsense.

So I just looked up Haley and that picture gives me serious demon vibes, and she's a centrist democrat that supports Schumer so that's CONFIRMED.

It’s a little encouraging that ghouls with presidential aspirations like Whitmer and Newsom are letting the mask slip in such obvious ways.
