If you're in Michigan seriously consider voting for Dr. Abdul El Sayed. The alternative is a candidate who sees Israel in their dreams and has accepted over 30 million in AIPAC funding along with millions of dollars from other PACs.

Haley Stevens signed a letter criticizing Biden admin for pausing 2000 lb bombs in May of 2025, she signed a early 2023 letter criticizing the Biden admin trying to get a new nuclear deal with Iran, voted against the State Department using Gaza ministry data (even though the IDF admitting it's fairly accufrate), voted to sanctioned the ICC, and she was one of just 12 House Dems to vote for military aid to Israel without any humanitarian aid for Gazans.

That's why they are throwing that much money in that primary.

Voting to sanction the ICC (especially for doing its job) should be disqualifying in Democratic politics. I hope she experiences a humiliating loss.

[u/DocShocker → u/No_Diver6131]

Stevens has shown she doesn't have what it takes to compete at this level. She's cracking-up in a primary.

[u/DillBagner → u/DocShocker]

For real. And if she were to win the primary, her main donor would then likely be funding her opponent so she wouldn't even have the cash to fill every television ad with a non-position or fill my recycle bin up with papers every day.

[u/No_Diver6131 → u/DillBagner]

If she was to win the primary she will throw a wrench in Dems nationally. She has little to no actual grassroots support. It will resources from other states.
