If Israel hates you, you're a good person.

He's not wrong about Whitmer. Yeah, I voted for her, the alternative would have been worse.
thefinglongerer
That's the worst they can say? Haha
VitaminJay
Crazy how AIPAC didn't discuss 🍊's 'disrespect of women' in either of his election campaigns...
SJBSavageInk
Is the discrimination lawsuit real though? :/ that looks pretty bad.

No, aipac stretching hard https://bridgemi.com/michigan-government/fact-check-ads-take-el-sayed-out-of-context-to-claim-he-disrespects-women

I get, he is a bad asshole, but it’s a little hard to go full shocked mode while you have a felon, child rapist, friend of the biggest minors raping elite hideout of the history as a President.
Maybe, just maybe, removing the constant example that abusing women makes you worldwide powerful and untouchable, will give the rest of the population the idea that mistreatment of a woman is bad.
LangleyofMappe
Those are smears and you're believing them
B1tchtastic
There are Republican president and staff, senators, and congressmen who celebrated the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband, her dog, and the attempted murder of John Hoffman and his wife. Republicans are protecting the president, a serial rapist of children and women, from the consequences of his brutal crimes. You think that's the same as calling someone's work ineffectual? Good fucking God the hypocrisy.
FrolickingFrolicking
OP is really just advertising and amplifying the smears.
Did he actually say the Obama one? It sounds scummy since she’s not even a public official (I don’t think). Unless he was saying the Obamas *aren’t progressive enough* on the issues (dripping bombs on weddings, genocide against palestinians, etc)
SquirtVonnegut
He wrote a nuanced article in 2010 which Stevens is taking out of context:
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/cifamerica/2010/dec/25/sarahpalin-michelleobama
He said her Let's Move campaign was "commendable, if ineffectual," arguing that it focused too much on individual behavior rather than systemic poverty and food access, which is true.
RecurringNightmare
"uninspired" and "ineffectual" arent even disrespectful, that just constructive critique...if thats the worst they managed to dig up about that guy he seems to be a fucken saint...

AIPAC funding recipients seem quite devoted to overlooking- afraid of?- opposing the worst aspects of Israeli policies including things like Operation Canary Mission- which is Israeli secret interference inside the US, on US citizens, and US funding for what the UN and Amnesty call genocide including targeting civilians, aid workers, and even children by snipers- and torture camps, mass murder, theft of land, etc. aka Op Lavender.

Please don't confuse Operation Canary Mission with a web site of that name. Having a web site seems a cover for a wide-spread possible mil-intel op in advance of Israeli Gaza war to silence US objection torture, theft of land, genocide, etc. 2 years ago news stories made this clear-all since replaced by the current cover https://www.democracynow.org/2023/12/27/canary_mission https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/jan/30/pr">_mission">https://www.democracynow.org/2023/12/27/canary_mission https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/jan/30/pro-israel-group-shirion-collective-australian-politicians-leaked-texts 3

We get the major Detroit TV stations where I am in Canada and I've seen these ads. It's really vile stuff, even for a GOP smear campaign.
RubberMonkeys
I'll be voting for Abdul.
Ento1
This is supposed to make us forget that Haley Stevens supports the continuing genocide in Gaza.
FreePalestineAndTheWorldFromIsrael
Democratic Zionists are just Blue Republicans. Vote them all out.
sevenfingerman
It is likely that our greatest single advantage over people like Trump and Netanyahu is that they simply don’t understand the mind set of good honest people.
They think they do. They think we are chumps to be manipulated. But evil can not comprehend good.
SquirtVonnegut
They're only painting him as a misogynist because he's Arab. It's a racist attack that the entire party should be denouncing.
Even more ridiculous is Jim Clyburn saying he's concerned that there aren't enough people of color in Abdul's audiences. Um, Abdul is a person of color running against the whitest person in the state. These attacks are so brazen and the media just repeats them. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
HonestCommentFarmer
They're trying to paint him a misogynist because they just saw it take down Platner.
MaskedTrout
Stop, stop. I’m already voting for him. Don’t need to keep trying to convince me.
rumandbass
I grew up with Hayley Stevens. It's so weird to see her on the national stage like this and taking AIPAC money left and right. Far cry from the happy go lucky kid I knew. :(

My favorite attempted smear was when they said he's sexist for calling Haley Stevens an empty suit. You know, that famous anti-woman slur: empty suit.
resworn
The last one is really reaching. He didn't even say women...
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
Yeah, he's just an ageist against ageist pre-millenial trashbag boomer and boomer-kids.
Which is fine. They suck.
phalanxausage
Wait, are you saying that people over 40 are all ageist?
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
Everyone is ageist.
phalanxausage
It's like saying, "I don't like black people because they're all racist!"
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
Nah, you can't stop being a black person, but you can stop being a 40 year old.
MiserCrass
With so many people hating on and paying against Sayed, this is a good damn sign to vote for him.

I've been a registered democrat since 1988 and I don't say this lightly. We need to vote out all of the establishment, corporate funded democrats. Every single one. No more AIPAC money. No more corporate money. Vote only for democratic socialists who only take grass roots donations. We will never have the policies we want until we get big money out of politics.
magicrhombus
Vote only for democratic socialists in primaries, I assume you mean. In the general I'll vote for anything that isn't an overt fascist in the slim hope of averting the US's rapid decline into autocracy.
DaveSamsonite
We need to be sure we do not lose any Democratic seats. No more Fettermans or Joe Manchin or Tulsi Gabbard types.
The Democrats need a secure Senate majority, or we wont be able to do anything regardless of how many Social Democrats we have in the house.
Because all the low population red states have the same number of senators as California does with 45 million people, we really need to focus efforts on getting progressive voters in those states to flip them.
It's mission critical.
DaveSamsonite
17% to 18% of the United States population can control 50% (plus one) of the U.S. Senate.
This baseline is calculated by combining the populations of the 26 least-populous states.
It's a serious problem, and probably the biggest problem that we have, and certainly it's a bigger problem than AIPAC.
Until we get to the point where we control the Senate, we will not be able to do anything.

I donated $10 to Fetterman merely because of who he was running against. I want my $10 back.
DaveSamsonite
I donated more than that! Go, little blood clot, go! I am a regular donor to Act Blue and supported a lot of Dems in close races.
