Our fight has never changed. From universal healthcare to reproductive rights to dependable childcare, now's our time to say to the system: This isn't working.
Abdul El-Sayed won by a bigger margin than Obama beat Clinton by in 2008.
Imagine a politico headline then: “Obama didn’t get big election night he wanted”
If a progressive outspent a centrist 9-to-1 in the midwest and still lost the conventional wisdom would be that their ideology was electoral deadweight the party needs to cut loose but because the opposite happened it’ll just be that college kids are too radicalized or something.
I’m fairly sure the goal is to win. And doing so while being outspent 5 to 1, 8 to 1 and 10 to 1 is evidence of over performance regardless of polling. I am going insane
Utterly shameless stuff. Progressives won, or very likely will win, all but one race and this is supposedly a let down (via inexplicably anonymous “operatives”) because they didn’t out perform polls which—it cannot be stressed enough—is not how one measures success in elections
We don’t need managers of America’s decline. We need architects of America’s future.
When I’m in Congress, I will use my office to push a progressive agenda for the future:
✅ Medicare for All
✅ Free college
✅ Universal childcare
✅ Taking on entrenched corporate power.

Hasan Piker talks to Abdul El-Sayed about James Carville threatening to leave the Democratic Party
"This state is a swing state because of the machinations of the Clinton-era of politics. NAFTA."
El-Sayed: "Why does anyone still listen to James Carville? He said one smart thing once, which he seems to have forgotten. 'It's the economy, stupid.'
You wonder why people are pissed off, both parties take money from all the same people, to do all the same errands when they get elected. Then no one can afford shit and we wonder why everyone's mad.
Hey, maybe if we didn't take money from the corporations we could actually show up for the people and solve some of these problems. It's the economy, stupid."
El-Sayed is a huge favorite to deliver the biggest blow to the Dem establishment so far. What's it mean?
Most Dems (57%) want at least major changes in their party (vs. 33% in 2022).
Dem party energy is on the left with 80% of very liberals extremely motivated to vote in 2026.
