    They’re already out trying to spin his win as a failure because he didn’t win by a big enough margin.

    This guy is literally facing the camera saying “I’m not a socialist. I am a capitalist, who wants the rich to pay their fair share.” and the establishment is screeching communism.

    Idk how it can’t be more plainly clear that we are in a class struggle against the ultra rich.

      They won’t mention the difference in funds between him and his opponent. She spent tens of millions of dollars more than he did, and she still lost.

      This is absolutely a win.

        Yeah this is super important and it scares them because it means their money doesn’t matter.

      and the establishment is screeching communism.

      They always do that…

      The difference, and why they’re louder than usual, is because they no longer control the DNC.

      The person who does, supports El-Sayed.

      Abdul El-Sayed is a dedicated public servant who fought to make government work for Michigan families. Now, he is ready to take that fight to the U.S. Senate.

      Congratulations, Abdul! Let’s win this.

      So stop calling them “the establishment”, because they no longer control the DNC

      Call them neoliberals and stop letting them make up a new label every six months

        How is that quote showing support for him? It’s literally just describing who El-Sayed is and what he’s doing. He even gives the game away at the end with his “let us win this” line.

        Remember when you posted Ken Martin’s mission statement shortly after he took over? He said he wants to win above all else and this is just an extension of that mission. I doubt he really cares who it is doing the “winning” just so long as they have a “D” next to their name.

      The DNC

      You know the chair has complete authority and no accountability…

      Right?

      And that he’s supporting El-Sayed just like Mamdani?

      Abdul El-Sayed is a dedicated public servant who fought to make government work for Michigan families. Now, he is ready to take that fight to the U.S. Senate.

      Congratulations, Abdul! Let’s win this.

      Like, El-Sayed is literally the type of candidate the DNC chair has gone on record multiple times saying is what the party needs…

      Are you just unaware of all this? I can’t imagine someone making the comment you did unless they were ignorant of the last 18 months
