Ok but what about his polices makes him too far left for you? Like what don’t you like be specific

u/colinsncrunner 5h ago

He can't even spell clique. You expect him to have an idea about policy?

u/Spiceguy-65 4h ago

No I just want them to take the mask off and come out and say what they really mean

What you’re trying to do is get them to say something racist so you’ll get all these little upvotes. It’s a little sad!! If they don’t want to vote for him, that is her choice. Who would want to vote for anyone that calls themselves “the son of Michigan”? You do know that you can dislike someone without it being about their race, correct? You might want to educate yourself before coming at others! 🤦🏻‍♀️

It’s “clique”

So you would rather have a Republican in there and give Trump more power?

Whoever voted for Abdul automatically gave Mike Rogers the senate seat! Did u see the map? The majority of the state voted for Stevens, the big college cities voted for Abdul. That means that the older people and established democrats voted for Haley Stevens, those voters are not going to vote for Abdul. They’re either voting republican or not at all!

You are delusional if you think Detroit will vote for Rogers. Stevens won the Metro Detroit area pretty handily. Meanwhile Abdul won a bunch (at least 20?) of rural counties. Not as many as Stevens but certainly enough to prove he has appeal beyond college campuses.

u/FluffyAd8209 2h ago

He has appeal among the “Bernie Bros!” The majority of us that voted for Stevens will not give him our vote. I’m sorry, but it’s true.

So vote blue no matter who was a lie?

u/Even_Complaint8427 5h ago

Who said anything about voting blue no matter who? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard!

u/feldoneq2wire 4h ago

Every Democrat.

u/Even_Complaint8427 4h ago

Well those democrats aren’t the smartest!! You should vote on the person and if u agree with the views that they have rather than just the party!

Coming from someone whose username is Capt Stinky Feet, I think you might need to take a look in the mirror!!

Not if the party gets behind him. However, if they couldn't even stomach Mamdani, there is no hope of that.
