@HelmetBoy_Texas It’s not our fight. Not worth one American life. I am not a leftist. I have supported Dems, and Republicans in the past. We shouldn’t be fighting for Iran, Israel, Saudi or any other country.
@HelmetBoy_Texas Look Buckie boy—-you’re the one who seems to obsessed with Israel. As an American taxpayer —-I don’t want my tax dollars spent on Israel. Every homeless vet here deserves my tax dollars. Can we agree on that?
Very excited to watch him rip into that fat old corrupt Republican guy in the general.
El-Sayed has been handicapped by his wanting to avoid hating on a woman, running against Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary.
He can be as mean as he wants to Rogers.
@mattyglesias@brhodes In both cases, it’s about Israel. Has nothing to do with who is more moderate. The dem establishment who are withholding support from Abdul are singularly focused on his position on Israel. Dems who voted uncommitted when it came to Biden didn’t like Biden’s support of Israel.
@Jesse_Leg Easy refute: it’s AIPAC spending to get politicians who send billions of our tax dollars toMiddle East and get us embroiled in wars. No wonder they support Mike Rogers. Abdul will win that argument easily with Majority of Michigan voters. EVEN Young Republicans don’t like AIPAC
Increasingly clear—-the “NEVER ABDUL” wing of the Democrats is about one issue: ISRAEL. The reality is that 70-80% of the democratic voter base agrees with Abdul. However, the establishment “Never Abdul” Dems believe we must support Israel or else!
@curmudgeon_x@admcrlsn So does AIPAC spending $50M mean that they have a mental problem? Americans also have freedom of speech. Which means we can complain about AIPAC as much as we want to. And voters are now finally seeing this danger. Deal with it pal.
@curmudgeon_x@admcrlsn If you think AIPAC spending $30-50 Million in elections in Michigan and recently in Kentucky is inconsequential—-please go tell AIPAC, you can save them a bundle. When AIPAC spends tens of millions, then they are by definition influencing domestic campaigns.
@cbouzy It’s WE who are tired of fucking AIPAC spending tens of millions to influence our elections. The gig is up—-$50 million wasn’t enough this time pal. Next time tell AIPAC to add a couple more zeroes. But it won’t help. There are millions of Americans sick of AIPAC! Deal with it!
@neoliberal_hack Maybe it wouldn’t be so hinky when you consider she just voted for billions in UNCONDITIONAL aid to Israel 2 weeks ago, and she just received $50M in AIPAC spending to help her get elected. Michigan voters will decide if a foreign lobby gets to pick our senator for us. HELL NO!
@samueljrob Haley doesn’t get to UNCONDITIONALLY support Israel, get the benefit of $50M in AIPAC spending to help her get elected —-and then has the nerve to demand nobody calls her out on that?!! Gimme a break pal.
@samueljrob Abdul never said “I see Egypt in my dreams”—-Haley apparently sees Israel in her dreams. Abdul wouldn’t vote for billions go to Egypt. Haley votes to send billions to Israel. Egypt PAC ain’t spending 50M to help Abdul. AIPAC is spending 50M for Haley. If the shoe fits, wear it!
Public Service Announcement: @AbdulElSayed IS NOT DSA. Abdul wants a big tent—-he welcomes support from DSA and THREE-TIME TRUMP VOTERS. Most folks want the same things—affordable healthcare, our tax dollars working for us (and not a foreign country), and growing job market.
The DSA may be loud online, but they certainly do not represent the majority of Americans, especially in the Democratic Party.
They are bomb throwers, not problem solvers — and they certainly aren’t Democrats. We can’t let them hijack the Democratic Party!
Most democrats who panic about Abdul have one main reason—-Rich said: “As a non-Jewish voter, removing aide from Israel is a deal breaker for me.” Guess what Rich—-it is YOU who is out of sync with democratic base. Most Michiganders don’t want our tax dollars going to Israel.
The same guys said the same things about @grahamformaine. The truth is that everything Abdul has run on has been negative and personal. He's not a good guy and he'd be an awful Senator. That's the truth. This man should not be the Democratic nominee.
@BookerGWash What is your problem with Abdul’s stance on the issues? Medicare for All? ICE? Military welfare to Israel? Minimum wage? International trade? You earn votes by aligning with voters based on the issues they care about. What do you care about?
@JebFain What is creepy is that we have AIPAC pouring tens of millions of dollars into our senate race in Michigan. We have politicians who brag about “seeing Israel in their dreams”, or believe defending Israel is their number one reason for being a senator (like Ted Cruz)—-that’s creepy
@spencerjsteel@Steven_Strauss And TENS of Millions from AIPAC to help Haley Stevens. Don’t be ashamed. Just own it!! Say it!! Haley wants to send our tax dollars to Israel! Let the people decide if they want a politician who “sees Israel in her dreams” as Michigan’s next senator.
Dear @jen_zook, Israel is the last country wanting to settle anything in court. The UN Security Council has demanded Israel withdrawal from occupied territories. In 2026, Israel follows the law of the jungle—-might makes right. They of course rely on US might, blood, and $$
@HamudiMD@juliush34@Steven_Strauss Israel is going to exist. Why can’t the Middle East accept a Jewish state? Land disputes can be hashed out in court. Why is it like 145 BD in the Middle East??? Just live in 2026.
