All roads lead to Michigan in 2026 midterms. Fascinating politics.
Not unlike 2016 when voters wanted an out-of-the-box candidate in Trump vs political establishment Hillary.
Bernie Sanders' populist messaging -- the economy is rigged to protect billionaires ... politics is corrupt because of bought and paid for candidates (see Mike Rogers) -- is finally hitting home.
Voters are no longer content playing by clubhouse rules in both parties.
El-Sayed is a fearless strong candidate. He just beat a legitimate candidate who was armed with $70 million in campaign funding.
The Michigan Senate race will be the focal point for the GOP -- with tons of money and messaging to beat down the "commies ... coming for your house ...." Trump and the GOP have nothing else to offer other than high gas prices, high grocery prices, corruption, an unnecessary war, ICE, authoritarianism, etc etc etc. Michigan 2026 = Gettysburg.

Bernie is one of those who benefits from the rigged system

Going to be an uphill climb. America remains an Islamophobic country.
Note GOP messaging already: they are releasing ads with the doc's full name, Abdulrahman Mohamed El‑Sayed.
They know their audience. it's not for nothing that Trump says "Barack Hussein Obama" all the time.
anti semitic.

Disagree. Its not just an Islam thing. It’s emerging Red-Green Alliance of political convenience:
political Islam meets the radical left (DSA). It’s going to be an easy ride. Because It’s already huge win for Red-Green Alliance. Their candidate will be in MI general election, not in tiny state Vermont, not in a city like Seattle or NYC. It’s in an American heartland state. Their candidates usually are well educated, well spoken and young. Even they lose in November this time, their national exposure assisted by left media from this election will only be a plus for future Red-Green alliance.
You and Conor each only spoke from your perspective You’re an internationalist. So you care about Islam thing. Conor is passionate about democratic socialism. So he talked about DSA campaign talking points. The whole truth is not each of you. It is the odd marriage of conor and you: Red-Green movement. It’s going to emerge nationwide.
Barack HUSSEIN Obama
That's how he says it.
Spin all you like - he is playing to America's fears. We are still in a post-9/11 country, and many Americans do not trust Muslims.
That's the guy's name. Embrace it. Why do news readers roll their Rs when saying an Hispanic name?
Yet they don't talk like a leprechaun when saying an Irish name. Talk about pandering.
Should we assume that you liberals are part of America?

More like communist-phobic, and pro-democracy.
You and AOC are now indistinguishable.
"Pro-democracy" is obviously not true. Laughable, even.

I predict no response, which is both cowardly and wise.

Sorry. Didn’t refresh to see your post when I created my post. My point is similar to yours.

That's their name, isn't it? Are they not proud of their heritage and names? Why so sensitive?

Indeed. But El-Sayed is an incredibly gifted candidate.
And my sense is that the electorate is changing. More pragmatic.
Did you support Bernie over Hills in 2016?
