As a non-ideological centrist with a nuanced opinion on politics, the adult in the room, if you will, I must point out that this is of course a rogue actor, and not indicative of a fundamental problem inherent in the democratic party and indeed liberal democracy as a whole. Additionally, if Whitmer is ever up for election, the only rational thing to do is to support her, in the name of harm reduction. The only way forward is business as usual politics, and any claim to the contrary is radical, and can, as such, be dismissed. In conclusion, if this event has caused you to reconsider your voting strategy, you need to grow up.
This is not satire these are my actual opinions. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to grow up.
