Obama Campaigns With El-Sayed

Barack Obama has a new favorite sound, and it is coming from a minaret in Michigan.On Monday the state party announced he will rally with Abdul El-Sayed in Detroit on October 24, the first day of early voting.
El-Sayed posted "Get. Ready." We assume that means ready for Medicare for All, abolish ICE, defund the police, and a few other chart-toppers. Obama did not endorse him in the primary. The general election, apparently, is when the volume goes up.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dropped by a New York fundraiser for him the same day and told donors this is a "generational project." Her closer: "If Abdul can win in Michigan, anybody can win anywhere." She also said a win would "break open the entire political calculus in America. Period."
Bold. Michigan might just want the calculus that keeps the lights on at the plant.Here is the funny part that is not actually funny. El-Sayed's set list is the full progressive album: Medicare for All, wipe out medical debt, ban big corporations from owning homes, tax the billionaires, and treat borders, police, and Israel as suggestions. Great for a rally. Pricey for a state that still makes cars.
Mike Rogers is running the other playlist. Manufacturing jobs. Shop class back in high school. More houses, not a landlord ban. A Canada trade deal that does not sandbag Michigan auto and farm country. Less chanting, more paychecks.
One guy hears the radical slogans and calls them beautiful.
The other hears a paychecks and calls that the point.
Michigan gets the vote on November 3. Does Obama still have that 2008 magic?
