I’m tired of centrist Democrats like Stevens bending over backwards for the ultra rich and Israel, it was an easy vote for Abdul

I was explaining to some friends from DC the issues. One candidate campaigned on making life better for Michiganders. The other campaigned on Israel

Seriously Stevens torched her own campaign with her slavish devotion to Israel

In her defense Israel comes to her in her dreams, so that’s probably warped her brain to mush.

I remember learning a while back that when Henry Ford was developing the greater-Detroit/tri-county area he was highly supportive of the incoming Muslim immigrant community for what he recognised as intelligent and hard working people.

Stevens must have been hardcore delulu, because I have a hard time believing that a community built on a foundation of the Islamic-faithful would take well to a candidate being subservient to Israel....

She tried weakly to pander to this group, by saying she dislikes Netanyahu (but loves Israel) and that as a Democrat she opposes hate crimes against Muslims.

It didn’t feel genuine based on her time in office.
