turnout in the michigan senate primary was reported at around 13%. whatever the reasons were for this, it demonstrates a lack of enthusiasm for the electable democratic candidate, and the result is that the growing right-wing progressive fringe overran the party and the democrats now have a far right crypto fascist practically nazi candidate in michigan of all places that really has no chance at all against the republicans.

my suspicion is that trump's claims of electoral fraud might have some value. primaries often have low turnout, but 13% is a little hard to believe. this guy has a lot of money from foreign states backing him. he was really the monied candidate. it's opening a new and concerning era in american politics, where the democratic party is finding itself at the whim of foreign interference.

this guy is not electable. i would expect to see michigan elect a republican senator for the first time in quite a while.
