Michigan Democrats controlled all three branches of government, but party infighting and moderate policy decisions resulted in what some have dubbed “one of the least productive legislative sessions in history.”

    To anyone who says we just need to vote Democrats into power, how many more Dems were needed here?

      Not “more Democrats,” more Progressives.

      Liberalism is all about maintaining the status quo and not rocking the boat. Liberals are useless when significant change needs made. For that, you have to move away from the center at least a little bit.

      Guarantee you most of the infighting the article mentioned was the more Progressives members pointing out that the proposed bills aren’t sufficient to cause real change, and the Liberal members fighting to keep it that way.
