DETROIT (AP) — Former President Barack Obama will campaign alongside Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Detroit later this month, lending his support to the progressive nominee after a bruising Democratic primary exposed divisions within the party.
Obama will appear with El-Sayed at an Oct. 24 rally that will also feature other top Democratic candidates in Michigan, including Jocelyn Benson, the party’s nominee for governor. Obama is getting significantly more involved in the midterm elections, with additional campaign stops and advertisements expected to come in the closing weeks, according to plans shared first with The Associated Press.
Compromise requires two or more groups. All accountable to each other to have any meaningful compromise. Otherwise you get what we have. The wealthy get what they want and sacrifice nothing. We sacrifice plenty and get nothing. To be clear, I’m an anarchist. I think the state should be flat and granular. Granular enough that it could operate largely via absolute consent. And compromise where required is meaningful.
