Abdul El-Sayed won not despite his being a pro-Hamas Arab but because of it. Michigan is home to a critical mass of such Arabs. It is also home to a critical mass of progressive Jews who bend over backward to prove they are not Islamophobic by demonstrating how they are Israelophobic. Add to this a significant academic community and the fix is in, at least for the Democratic Party. One can only hope that, with Michigan being a purple state, the El Sayad ticket will be rejected by a voting majority come November. After all, not everyone is praying for the destruction of Israel which, after all, is really the message on which El Sayed was running,

This is what we get when we let autocratic countries , like Qatar, pump Billions into our higher education system. A brilliant, long-term plan to manipulate the minds of our youth. These outside influences must end. They were out protesting, in force, with ready-made signs and banners on Oct 8. There is a plan afoot here, plainly revealed, and it must be stopped

The Jewish community has a "tough" choice. Keep Trump out of the decision, keep dislike of Netanyahu out of the decision, and keep your irrational loyalty to the Democratic Party out of the decision. Stand up for your people, make a noise, don't hideout, and vote Republican.

Like taking candy from a baby. You're poor sad and good. They’re rich happy and bad. Elect me and I’ll take what’s theirs and give it to you. You can trust me.

When Adlai Stevenson was running for president a pundit told him "you have the support of every intelligent American". Stevenson replied "but I need a majority of the votes".

“Represents a STAIN on American politics that demonizes the Republic” is more apt. Wake up America. The enemy has shown itself and it must be met with violent resistance.

On a more immediate level, the reason El-Sayed won is that the Establishment Democrats' election rigging effort fell short for some reason. A consistent double-digit lead in all of the polls for a candidate that is disfavored by the Democratic Party just doesn't magically vanish on election day. On the contrary, media polls are designed to suppress support for those candidates, so you'd expect his margin to be greater than the polling.

So it might be interesting to explore what went wrong there. Were there logistical problems? Did they just not count properly? Or maybe they're planning on remedying the situation with a bunch of late-arriving mail-in ballots. Or perhaps they'll force him to drop out like they did with Platner. The Dems have been very consistent about one thing ever since 2004, and that is that primary voters don't really have much, if any, say in who the party nominees will be. So either they just messed up here, or else maybe they truly wanted El-Sayed to win, but had to put up the smokescreen of trying to knock him off in order to project an image of the party as a whole being more moderate than it actually is.

Do the leftists realize that when they destroy the Constitution and the rule of law, there will no longer be anything protecting them from us, the conservative, gun-owning majority? In the coming Civil War, they will be the first targets

This is not complex.

The leading left-wing publications - NY Times, Atlantic, Washington Post, NBC and others - have long been beating the drum on how terrible the country has become and, indeed, always was.

They have been joined by liberal arts faculty and the teachers' unions to cry racism, anti-every side social cause, from fringe feminism to late abortion to gay and transgender policies and views.. Anti-parent control and anti-traditional values has become a natural part of this.

They have extended this into virulent antisemitism, pro-illegal alien protests and DEI discrimination and now "Islamophobia", while downplaying violence and fraud by any of the favored groups. And dissenting voices are not allowed.

This has led to a Democratic Party that is decidedly anti-American, to the point of applauding American losses abroad.

The DSA is the new Democratic Party. American non-Orthodox Jews have supported this either directly or by supporting the broad Democratic Party that supports the DSA - rather like Schoeps and Newmann in the 1930s. The average American has been lulled into complacency by the media.

This result was inevitable, and more will follow.

As I said, not complex.

Here's how El Sayed won: El Sayed: 741,631 votes; Stevens and McMorrow (who had dropped out) combined: 787,834 votes. A motivated minority beat a divided establishment.

This would never have been possible without the complicity of the entirety of the Jewish " Representative electorate", DNC and the leftist globalist NGO funders /major donors /"Philanthropists" who are antisemitic, anti-Israel Jewish led MB collaborators.. Soros and son, Reid Hoffman, Pritzker family, Goldman /Gelman family, Howard Horowitz, Jon Ben-Ami, Ben Cohen, Madea Benjamin, Ariel Gold, Sandor and Faye Strauss, Michael Moritz,Wallace Shawn, Naomi Klein,Dustin Moskowitz, Eric Schmidt, Ariane and Lynn D'Rothschild.. believe it or not, even Steven Spielberg.

The liberal media, both corporate and independent ownership, academia and celebrity endorsements.

Cynthia Nixon, Mandy Patinkin, Max Blumenthal, Norm Finkelstein, Glenn Greenwald, David Corn, David Sirota, Thomas Friedman, Peter Beinart, Jen Rubin, Aaron Mate, Leslie Stahl, Howard Stern, Rahm Emanuel, to name a few and absolute uber-idiots like Bill Kristol who announced he was voting for Mamdani to assure Eric Adams didn't win.Because Trump pardoned him. Adams should never have been investigated and persecuted. It was a vindictive action by Biden after Adams begged for help dealing with the migrant surge and was implemented protections for Jewish New Yorkers.

I always wondered how the great civilizations fell but now I understand. We are living at the end of the decline of western civilization.
