There’s resistance from progressive Democrats backing el Sayed, who has called Stevens an empty suit beholden to corporate interests.

Think of when Hillary’s people screwed Bernie in ‘16. He was the popular one and the establishment paid him off.
Hillary is just not likable. Al Sayed being voted down could bring the same backlash when Bernie got it. Sayed won’t be bought off and won’t go away.
I think beating Stevens will be tougher but Al Sayed cannot be allowed to grow the movement. Michigan is purple and the socialist victories were in deep blue districts.
How do our higher-ups react? It’s simple. Fan the flames for the next 3 months and keep them fighting amongst themselves.
That’s not what they’re afraid of...
Donald Dems voting in droves terrify the hell outta them.
(Who should we root for?)
A, The mud,
I know I’m late to the party on Graham Platner, but I thought of a nickname for him because of his tattoo: Platler.
Would the Donald Dems vote for Stevens to put the socialists in their place or would they vote for Rogers in November to put them in their place?
It’s the brushfire effect as I’ve mentioned earlier. With an Al Sayed primary victory the fire could get out of control.
