Congratulations Michigan! "Outside money" just spent $65 million in your state and got NOTHING in return. This is the new "trickle down" economy. Keep it going in November.

@cnn.com and @MSNBC or whatever they’re called now were all excited when the race started narrowing touting Stevens’ strength in the Detroit area and seemed genuinely disappointed when it became apparent she would lose. MidasTouch called it before either of them

Voters are tired of establishment politicians. DC has been broken, Trump destroyed whatever was remaining. Time for change we need the government to work for us. Both sides are guilty of controlling DC for their agenda not the will of the people.

Impressive. I've been pretty stoked with how both of these people have conducted themselves post-election. We should deamand more of that from our politicians. Sad we didn't get a graceful and helpful concession here in Texas.

Yea easy to say that when this entire race has been Saudi Royal funded bullshit to try and take control of American politics and influence the US electorate. This far left push to seat Muslims is foreign influence. The black people in Detroit want Stevens to rep them but the far left does not care.

You essentially have 2 choices, the person you are 100% sure will go against your beliefs or the one who you have the power to try to persuade to your beliefs. Refusing to vote for the one you have a chance of persuading is just lazy. You may think you are being high-minded, but you are just lazy.

This feels like a righty troll, but I'll chime in anyway: When you withhold your vote to send a message, you send a message to BOTH sides. One side hears that they're not good enough to get your vote. The other hears they haven't been awful enough yet for you to vote against them.

Whatever. I’m still not voting for genocide. My vote can be earned very easily if the candidate is against genocide. You seem to believe you owe your vote regardless. I believe if they want my vote they have to earn it.

But you approve of slow genocide here in the usa. You're ok sacrificing people here in order to accomplish nothing in gaza. Did your non committed act save gaza? Is gaza better off today than in 2024? Are the surrounding Palestine countries better off today than in 2024?

@suspectzero.bsky.social, pls note: A person may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inaction, and in either case he is justly accountable to them for the injury. — John Stuart Mill On Liberty So, if you genuinely want to slow down + 🛑 this trajectory of the (R) Party, pls VOTE.

Don't look at what they do according to the war in the middle east Look at what they do for the average citizens in the US, use your vote to make your life better You can not agree to everything they do but not too use your vote because you don't agree in one thing they do.. Is simply just stupid

And odds are there just might not be any real elections for you to sit out if we don’t take back the House AND the Senate. And in any case, please vote the rest of the ballot! This isn’t a popularity contest.

When the primary election is over the end result will still be between a Democrat and a Republican. If you throw in the towel over a single issue, then you throw in the towel on your best option to save this country. It may not be your preferred option but keep what power you have. Vote.

That's the same misguided logic that brought us Trump to begin with. Can't vote for Kamala because gENoCiDe and put the guy in office that's doing Netanyahu's bidding in Gaza. And because of absolutist bullshit people are going to give the guy responsible for it two more years of power. Crazy logic.

Keeping Trump would be worse than getting him - we can all see where America is headed if his power isn’t limited. FascistbAuthoritarianism is almost there!

Sitting this one is essentially giving the Republican candidate the win. It is the mentality held by those that voted for an Independent in 2016 keeping the margin open for Trump to win. Keep your mind on what we, as a nation, need right now or we are the one that will face genocide.

I mean, basically the entire Republican Party is fine with current Israeli policies. At least with Democrats you see real movement on the issue and, with enough pressure, can reach critical mass on Palestine. But that requires removing power from Republicans

Al Jazeera: "El-Sayed recognises Israel’s atrocities in Gaza as a genocide and argues that money spent on conflicts that benefit Israel should be invested in local communities in the US to address healthcare, housing and infrastructure problems."

Now to strictly address your "I will sit this one out." It is the ignorance of this comment that makes people despise your kind. "I will sit this one out." You have sat out others. So with that. Your voice in Politics should not count, because you don't give a damn about voting.

El-Sayed went against a Pro Israeli Candidate, and won. Where do you actually think he is for Genocide of Palestinians? All he said he is for self determination of both Israeli, and Palestine. It is a egalitarian principle. Now"I will sit this one out." You do that, and then don't bitch later.

So if the Steven voters throw in with the winning Democrat, they can best Rogers who isn't even from Michigan. Steven already agreed to help him Abdul win. #PowerOfThePeople

Friday’s Buttigieg rally (link below) is going to be telling. Had Stevens won, I’d expect El-Sayed to attend and endorse her. Dems fighting tough primaries and coming together after is nothing new. What is new is how much worse MAGA is than any previous version of the GOP. Time to come together.

That occurred to me as well. Since there wasn’t a Republican senate primary & no super contentious fights on that side it seems more plausible that some would cross over, but how many really? Regardless it *would* boost the overall Dem turnout. I’m sure folks are digging into the data on it.

You have to pull one ticket or the other. So if they crossed over to vote for Stevens they would either also vote for the dem governor or leave it blank. Can’t vote for dem senate candidates and GOP for gov

We have no-reason, permanent absentee vote by mail. My wife and older son do this. A good number of McMorrow votes are probably in the ballots returned before she dropped out. The voter never tried to void their ballot after. We have that process for absentee ballots for things like this.

A lot of them are likely people who voted by mail before she dropped out and didn't grow through the process of spoiling their vote and getting a new ballot

Are you referring to Harris? (Forget this post if I'm wrong.) Trump was/is 10 times worse. The biggest problem for Harris was that she felt she couldn't criticise Biden or deviate from his politics. I believe she's too conflict avoidant. She should have stood up against Israel's actions for sure.

Watching Steve Kornacki call it Live on NBC as it happened?…. Freaking amazing! Damn, I remember this feeling. We have got to keep the momentum going. Come Together & VOTE BLUE in November!

I don’t either, haha. The momentum is building — folks are ready to fight back against the establishment. “…this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” We’re bringing it back!

Neither side is stopping Israel. Not voting does nothing to help the situation in Gaza, Iran, Ukraine or anywhere. Trump 2.0 has proven it actually makes things much worse. Sinking America entirely to make zero difference on your fave issue is the epitome of cutting off your nose to spite your face.

The big story in the Michigan primaries should be that the Democrats turned out twice as many voters as Republicans did. Democrats can win if they fight Republicans as hard as they fight each other.

Actually less than 1% separated them in the end. 2 candidates that worked hard and got the support of almost half of the Dem voters.

I love that they spent +70 million dollars to stop this and it didn't work. All that money burned in a bonfire of stupidity, greed, and, most of all, vanity. Gone. They FAFOed it out of existence.

Congrats, MI--you just handed Peters' Senate seat to Rogers. Hey, Bernie--MI is not CA or even NYC--it will never elect an MFA advocate to statewide office. And you can bet Rogers will use Stevens' attacks on El-Sayed in his campaign--like Mitch did vs. McGrath in '20.
