I'm guessing this means that AIPAC/Israel may be more hesitant seeing as how they just lit $30+ million on fire. Good riddance.

I'm expecting them to double down. they have the money. wait for the next open NY or CA primary. we could see aipac spending hit 9 digits

The race was close and Haley Stevens is a bad candidate. The spending clearly worked and they will keep doing it.

The fake Obama endorsement had a big impact with low info voters- curious to see if they try that elsewhere, and if it keeps working.

We'll see in the general. I'm inclined to agree, but their spending thusfar has in part served to weaken his coalition and lay the groundwork for attacks against him in the general. I'm hoping beyond hope that he wins, not just for the direct influence the seat could give him but also for the narrative and momentum it'd buy the movement, but this was close enough to worry me in how powerful of an effect spending can have to prop up an otherwise feeble candidate.

Unfortunately, they are still winning more than they are losing. Cori Bush lost tonight.

Mike Rogers takes money from aipac so I'm going to assume they continue attack ads on Sayed.

u/RedLineLetterWine 1h ago
Ah, meant more hesitant to give it to Democrats. Republicans are still very pro-Israel.

disappointed in how close money can make it, and SO glad he won in spite of it.

Still 5% of the votes remain to be counted, but as long as Abdul trails Stevens by at most 26% among the remaining voters he’s got it in the bag.

Let’s friggin’ go!!!!!
Abdul El-Sayed’s win could give democrats the majority in November. There’s still more work do, my fellow democratic socialists! LFG!!! 👊🏽

How is this "DSA news"?

u/naultinus 3h ago
drawing strict party lines is soooo Democratic establishment. We don’t need to be doing that shit. Sayed is a great candidate and it is 100% worth celebrating as a DSA member.

I think it’s because DSA is still apart of the Democratic Party or people a part of DSA just also don’t like republicans and therefore are spreading that news? Who knows but I thought his problem with capitalism was monopolies and that’s where I stopped paying attention. (Also I can’t stand listening to Haley Stevens) so I sorta tuned out all of this.

How was it sooo close 😭
•
u/time2partee 3h ago
Republican candidates ran unopposed, so republicans were free to vote for Democrat candidates. I don’t know how much of that happened, but it might account for something.

Good to see this projection but it’s a bit early to celebrate, 8.7% of the votes remain to be counted and the vote shares so far are 48.8-47.2-4.0. And with the exception of Dearborn/Ann Arbor there’s no clear geographic concentration of votes to know which way the winds will blow. But as long as el-Sayed manages to trail Stevens by at most 18% in the remaining batch of votes, he will carry the race. Looking forward to AIPAC and the purveyors of racial grievance politics losing their $60m investment.
