It’s an earthquake to have Bernie Sanders’s candidate defeat Gretchen Whitmer’s candidate in Michigan. But the real goal is to keep Donald Trump’s candidate from winning this seat.
Considering AIPAC et al spent $60 million on Stevens’ race, while El-Sayed’s campaign raised and spent only $3.5 million by comparison, I’m going to say the fact that Abdul still won does in fact constitute a blowout. FU AIPAC.
They didn’t even come close to out-spending their opponents and still won, that means people are seeing through the bullshit, and that’s great news. Maybe it means the general population isn’t hopeless, 🤞
It certainly helped considering he only won by a single point, either that or the fake Obama endorsement, or maybe even Republicans voting in the primary.
That’s a really salient point. A good reminder that no matter what size the war chest, bad policy is bad policy, and by sticking to a plan to make people’s lives better, it’s possible to win.

Money doesn’t guarantee wins, but the establishment Democrats are still holding on to that theory.
