8. So is it projecting unity

Sat Jun 27, 2026, 06:29 PM

Saturday

When Democratic leaders attack progressives running for office and Democratic voters, voting in a primary for the candidate they prefer?

In my mind they are the ones trying to divide the Party.

For the record I don't know what Slotkin's motives are but we need leadership that is going to unite the Party and back the candidates that Democratic voters have chosen to represent them.
