Here's episode 71 of Michigan's premier progressive podcast!Please vote on this week's LoL Twitter Poll: What is the biggest winning issue for Michigan Democrats heading into the November election? If you have others, leave them in replies Susan Demas, Editor-in-Chief of Michigan Advance, joins Pat this week. Michigan Advance is a progressive, nonprofit news site dedicated to covering policy and politics across the state. Susan is a veteran of the Michigan political news scene, and we discuss how traditional, corporate-driven media are failing us, but how publications, like Michigan Advance, are filling the gaps where corporate media (purposely) falls short. We also discuss the disaster that is the Michigan Republican Party, how Michigan Democrats can better message their major policy victories, and her take on whether or not President Biden's poll numbers will improve by November in Michigan.My opening segment covers some ideas I have on how Michigan Democrats can highlight their victories, which will help show voters how they not only compare and contrast with extreme Christian Nationalist Michigan Republican Party, but will also help show HOW these policies are helping hard-working Michiganders.My "Last Call" talks about some good and bad news for President Biden's numbers in Michigan, and why he and the Democratic Party cannot ignore the anger within the Arab-American community within the state when it comes to what's happening overseas.And I close by giving you some optimism after a tough loss for our Detroit Lions!Take the battle to them!Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you [email protected]–Pat
