“It's a broken system. The two major parties have not only a monopoly but stranglehold a on the political process system that choking the lifeblood out of our country,” - Ron Paul
For the 2020 Senate election in Michigan, incumbent Senator Gary Peters is seeking re-election as the Democratic Party nominee. He is being challenged by Republican Party nominee John James, a businessperson and United States Army veteran who lost the 2018 Senate election to incumbent Senator Debbie Stabenow.
Polling for the election shows that Peters has a one percent lead over James, which is essentially a draw.
Meanwhile, for President of the United States in the state, former Vice President Joe Biden (Democratic) is leading incumbent President Donald Trump (Republican) by seven to eight percent.

What is the rationale for the people who apparently support both Biden and James?

>If reelected, you can be sure that I will continue to be the fiercest opponent in the Senate to the rightwing extremism of Trump and the Republican leadership.
>But being anti-Trump and anti-Republican is not enough. We need to continue our fight for a progressive agenda which will take on oligarchy, and improve the lives of working people throughout our country.
>It is my intention to run a strong grassroots campaign throughout Vermont and I look forward to your support.
>But today, I wanted to let you know that it was my intention to run again for the Senate, and to ask if you could help us reach some modest fundraising goals we need to fund this grassroots campaign. You can do that here: (ActBlue link).
