Raging MI Moderates: 2026 Politics
The Middle Ground Michiga Podcast is for people who are done being yelled at by politics.
This show lives in the uncomfortable space between tribal talking points and reality — where Michigan actually exists. We call out bad ideas whether they come from Lansing, Washington, or our own side of the aisle. No party loyalty. No outrage farming. No performative nonsense.
If you’re sick of being told you must be angry, must pick a team, must hate your neighbors — this is your place.
We cover Michigan elections, local power, policy failures, corruption, culture wars, and the stuff that actually affects your life — without pretending one party has all the answers or that the other is pure evil. Sometimes that means criticizing Democrats. Sometimes Republicans. Usually both.
This is not a “both sides are the same” podcast.
It’s a both sides need to do better podcast.
Expect honest conversations, uncomfortable truths, and real accountability — with a Michigan-first lens and a future-focused mindset.
No Left.
No Right.
Michigan Forward.
Raging MI Moderates: 2026 Politics
Michigan 2026 Is a Powder Keg: Benson, Duggan, Ballot Wars & Who Really Controls Elections
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Michigan isn’t just voting for a governor in 2026 — it’s replacing the people who run elections, enforce the rules, and decide disputes when things go sideways.
In Episode One of Raging MI Moderates, we break down five races that decide everything:
Governor, Secretary of State, U.S. Senate, a critical Michigan Senate special election, and the Michigan Supreme Court.
We cover the Benson voter-roll controversy, Duggan’s independent shockwave, national money flooding Michigan, and the ballot initiative built to drive outrage and turnout.
This is not partisan noise. It’s power, trust, and incentives — explained clearly, aggressively, and with receipts.
Follow the show to stay ahead of Michigan’s 2026 election chaos.
