Michigan's progressive Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, and progressive Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, campaigned together in Michigan's Upper Peninsula this week during the final stretch of U.S. Senate race.  LOL's Pat Johnston explains why it's important that they showed up to connect with working class U.P. voters, and why it's criminal that Democrats abandoned the U.P. for far too long.  Again, working class progressives are the ones walking the walk by appearing in rural areas to help connect with all voters.  Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can! leftoflansing@gmail.com Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well!
