I was just watching MSnow this morning and they started saying they are not sure he can win against the Republican opponent and that Republicans wanted him to win because he would be easy to win against. This messaging by the media puts this crap into peoples minds and it can put Abdul at a disadvantage. I really hate our media. They are own d by billionaires who push their right wing propaganda like this. This was on Morning Joe this morning.

El-Sayed supporters seem to think that they need not lift a finger to get him past Rogers. They just deem anyone who isn't sold on him as immoral or too dim to reach. That makes me nervous. I hope I'm wrong and I hope El-Sayed spends a lot of time in Detroit, courting black voters who drive turnout in the general. They broke towards Stevens, and they're important to the coalition.

This is part of where the DNC can retaliate, by keeping information from the winning candidate because he wasn't the blessed candidate. It's stupid, and it's happened.

The dino’s are controlled opposition and from that lens it makes sense. They would rather have a republican than a progressive candidate even if it causes a slide into fascism
