this is even funnier when IIRC Bush won both demographics in 2000
Matthew Downhour @matthewdownhour.bsky.social · 2h agoEngrained in this for a lot of people is the implicit belief that Arabs & Muslims belong to the Democratic Party & if they voted for Republicans it was spiteful about Gaza and not normal Republican reasons like lower taxes or homophobia
El-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?"
they also built the railroad that fell into the sea
Mary Branscombe@marypcbuk.bsky.social · 2d agoit was the train company that kept trying to colonise Florida in the first place; they kept running trains in, having people start cattle ranches, having them fail and coming back a few years later and finding the last of the starving cows as they tried again
with performances like this I almost have to think Stevens would have been a bad candidate in the general
Eric Michael Garcia@ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 18h agoStevens is neck-and-neck with Abdul El-Sayed in Oakland and Macomb Counties. She needed to run away with these places to even be competitive with AES.
She will have more time for Israel to come to her in her dreams come January.
Garrett Herrin@garrettherrin.bsky.social · 19h agoAbdul El-Sayed is outperforming his benchmarks in every county reporting so far, though all are areas where he was expected to run well. Unless Stevens significantly overperforms in the Detroit area, this is set to be an early night.
certified charles entertainment schumer moment.
April Glick Pulito@aprilglick.bsky.social · 19h agoEl-Sayed numbers truly INSANE this is a movement
obviously small sample size but Stevens not winning E-Day is a disaster for her
VoteHub@votehub.com · 19h agoEaton County We have 4 fully reported precincts. Combined Absentee: 🟠 Haley Stevens – 544 (57.9%) 🟣 Abdul El-Sayed – 319 (34.0%) Combined Election Day: 🟣 Abdul El-Sayed – 253 (56.9%) 🟠 Haley Stevens – 177 (39.8%)

further worth noting that SA extended South African law to SWA and gave whites in representation in the parliament even though it did not have any legal authority to do so compare to the settlements
Alex Says Stuff@alexsaysstuff.bsky.social · 3d agoI've seen some try to argue it's different because the Bantustans were carved out of SA proper rather than occupied territory. But even if that is a significant difference (which I don't think it is), they implemented it in occupied Namibia too!
man, Haley Stevens being personally selected by AIPAC to primary a very senior Jewish (and Zionist) Democrat out of Congress for being insufficiently deferential to Netanyahu, and then being handpicked by the party to run, really goes to show how absolutely no party loyalty is expected of moderates
worth noting re the electorate’s views of Netanyahu
Karolina Muchova Fan Club@muchovafanclub.bsky.social · 3d agoHey so do @sanders.senate.gov and @abdulelsayed.bsky.social and every DSA-er and progressive know that DEMS STILL HAVE TO WIN THE MIDTERMS IN THREE MONTHS?

well yes because one karen not being able to go to Cheesecake Factory and get steak diane is a tragedy, one million COVID deaths is a statistic
Regime Accountant, CPA ☠️🎢@regimecpa.bsky.social · 3d agoIt’s crazy we are still talking about COVID lockdowns and still mostly ignoring the mass death that happened
it’s all a boomer cargo cult. recall a few years ago the hue and cry about the possibility of sirhan sirhan getting parole after 53 years because RFK this is even more egregious when you consider that JFK was not a good president and that the best thing he did for civil rights was get shot
'viktor shtrum'@viktorshtrum.bsky.social · 3d agoAll of the Kennedys are simpletons. I have no idea why we have continued for decades to talk about these disgusting people. RFK was a union busting rich kid who worked for Joe McCarthy. Because he opposed a stupid war that most Americans opposed in 1968, he is remembered as a liberal hero.
i will not apologize for elevating the bastard sons of the english gentry and scotch-irish yokels to sapience

fun fact: my mom’s family was run out of Baltimore in 1861 for being German speakers who opposed secession southrons say they have long memories. mine are longer :)
@escapedexplorer.bsky.social · 4d agoVery "give the whole game away" to look at the Forty-Eighters, who fought revolutions for more democratic government and to overthrow kings, and go "that radical trash whipped up the North against us, the aristocratic planter-slaver class, the true Southern Gentry and the good guys"
not an MI resident but at this point I would vote for AES purely on the basis of haley stevens running both an utterly incompetent and incredibly racist campaign
#StupidSuez@diplomatofnight.com · 5d agoWow, you got us! Arabs say Inshallah!
right see the thing is that the french republic does not define itself as an ethnostate- the concept of being french has, on paper, nothing whatsoever to do with race the 2018 nation-state bill explicitly defines israel as the state of the jewish people
chazhoosier.bsky.social@chazhoosier.bsky.social · 5d agoSo? France describes itself as state of the French people, and yet non-French people can be full citizens with equal rights. Do you think France has the right to exist?
