This is exactly what I was saying - in Michigan, at least, he's totally right. For a whole lot of folks here, the stereotype - which is still a generalization and a stereotype - is "competent, careful doctor with an accent" rather than the more negative tropes the GOP wants to label him with.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7h agoEl-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
Despite record outside spending, Abdul El-Sayed and a slate of left-leaning candidates triumphed over establishment and incumbent rivals.

"This story is about Female Rage, where a woman gets angry over being horribly mistreated and abused, but eventually learns to forgive and move on and be a nurturing kind soul instead of vengeful, which would be masculine and unbecoming---" Shut up. Let women rip out their abuser's spines.
Mike from Florida (he’s not) is an amazing cheap shot and I love it very much. welcome to Detroit motherfucker
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6h agoEl-Sayed: "If all Mike Rogers got is that 'his name is Abdul, and my name is Mike,' you're gonna be surprised how many people are like, 'Yeah, but that's the Abdul who wants to bring down the price of my groceries and make sure I got healthcare. So yeah, I like Abdul over your Mike from Florida.'"
This is not going to be easy. But it can be done.
re: LRT I am so doorknocking-pilled it's crazy. I used to grudgingly put up with it but I think it's important/fun now. you might not think it if you know me but I have social anxiety in many situations but - canvassing, whether it's electoral, labor, or tenant, is basically free exposure therapy
Hey guys, Perez Hilton performed self-harm and may have attempted a suicide on TikTok and screenshots are flying around, so if you are sensitive, go put "Perez Hilton" in your mutes right now.
Detroit will go blue in November. The city always does. The question will be voter turnout and the campaign's ground game. As for the rest of the state, the GOP spigot is going to deluge our airwaves until Election Day.
He was outspent 9-1. And he won widely in UP. Good signs for his ground game for the November election.
This is genuinely great. I like McMorrow a lot more than I liked her campaign team. Time to come together and win the general. Stevens also made some good gestures in the last 24 hours; here’s hoping she carries through.

Can I go to bed now? Can I please curl up with MUÑECA by @cynthiasaysboo.bsky.social for a nice relaxing bedtime story now? Pleeeeeeease?
considering that Abdul overall tanked in the rurals relative to polling it's funny that nobody told the UP about that
Very heartening news out of Missouri and Kansas. I know all of us here are by definition Terminally Online, but it gives me a lot of hope for the future of our country that folks are rejecting blatant authoritarianism and crony corporatism more and more.
Any AES supporter would have been thrilled with a win of any margin as recently as a month ago. A few late polls showing a bigger lead shouldn’t change that reality. He won against the Dem establishment and $62M of PAC money. He was barely on the radar when he entered the race.
Well, there's only one narrative here: vote blue no matter who, friends (and strange bedfellows).
I didn’t think AES even realistically had a shot several months ago and now it’s going to be portrayed as a disappointment if he *only* wins by like 2-3% lmao
amazing how so few of the gazillion think pieces criticizing women for not dating straight men fail to mention the whole “many of them literally don’t wash their asses” thing:
Nikolaj Bill@nikolajbill.bsky.social · 21h agoI remember a coworker in her late twenties saying this on how dating was so difficult. I was not surprised by her first two complaints: general anger issues and having few outside hobbies. I WAS surprised at her mention of how many men apparently don’t wash their hair or butts.
Looks better for El-Sayed than Stevens tonight. What happens, tomorrow it will be time to suck it up and vote blue
the lesson of tonight is that everyone needs to lock the fuck in for @peggyflanagan.bsky.social
In MI-08, an R+1 district with a Dem incumbent, the GOP candidate Trump endorsed is losing by double digits to a guy who'd dropped out last month.
