@Doodlelegs@mastodon.social Results are broken down by county. Wayne County encompases both Detroit and surrounding white working class suburbs to the west and north west - they do run much more conservative. The journalist in the article linked didn't make the distinction and therefore I didn't either.
Democrats can only win statewide when they are able pull super-majorities in cities like Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids and Lansing and majorities in the surrounding white working-class suburbs.

@juliehuz@mastodon.world I recently knocked 1,000 doors in Warren, a Detroit suburb. White working class people are not as centrist as you might think. These are people that supported Bernie and then Trump. They want change. They might not take the time to show up to the primary but I think that Abdul will put in the work to get folks out to the polls come November. People here do not like Mike Rogers who is seen as establishment Michigan politics.
