In Michigan it's a matter of the Democrats having a larger overall statewide vote, but there's a "us vs them" mentality between the Detroit-Flint area and most of the rest of the state.
It kinda puts a hamper on having much of a progressive agenda of the sorts that you see Minnesota have.
Minnesota's support is much more statewide (geographically), so even if they don't have as large of vote totals, it's hard to paint the Democrats into a "us vs them" scheme.
The larger presence of minorities in Michigan aids the Republicans in the "us vs them" issue too.
