	Get Active or Get Disarmed! That means get involved in helping good candidates in primary and general election. That is in addition to being politically active once they are elected.

I fail to see any "value" in college education as it is. Scores of people with stupid degrees or not working in their field of study. Big gov forgiving loans for "educated" people that couldn't or wouldn't pay their loans. Where is the value in a college degree? Is it the potential earnings? I make pretty good money and never stepped foot in a college classroom.

Anybody who thinks that a Republican candidate in either of those two districts has any chance of winning is fooling themselves. Wayne County has been Democrat territory in the past and will remain that way in the future.

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is a product of the Wayne County Democratic machine. So was Kwame Kilpatrick, ex Mayor of Detroit who got sent to the pen and Monica Conyers, ex Detroit Councilman, wife of the late Congressman John Conyers. She was sent to the pen for three years for taking a 11k bribe from a city contractor.

Already our Governor, again a product of the Wayne County machine and with ties to Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Michigan is making noises about aPresidential bid in 2028. She had a good chance at becoming Biden’s VP except for a faux pas her husband pulled during the Covid shutdown. If you Google “Whitmer’s boat” you’ll see what stifled that initiative.

Not all of us here voted for her or the D party. And not all of us can just pack up and move. And at some point where do you stop moving away from the perceived problem?

So democrats in Michigans large population centers are happy with Biden and US policy in Gaza. They will turn out to vote for Biden. Trump will not win Michigan.

Might as well send them then. In mass quantities to the heavily Dem cities.

Nah, there will still be LOOK AT THE POLLS! about Michigan even though the Republicans are as relevant there as Democrats in Florida.

In fact that's a perfect analogy. Anybody who believes a Republican will win Michigan is as deluded as somebody who believes Biden will win Florida.

If they do will only delay the inevitable because I don't think Republicans will be winning in 2028.

While you are correct about that it will be a whole lot better to be in a red state where at least you won't be attacked on the state level and your state might try to resist Federal nonsense.

Republicans are going to get their asses handed to them. That one Congress woman in winning on Reproductive Rights in Alabama won by over 20 points against the Republican.

But rest assured! The RED WAVE is coming this time!

Never seen a party more determined and joyfully self mutilating itself than with Republicans lining up to jump off a bridge for Trump.
