Is El-Sayed not a Michigander? He was raised in the same town as Sanders!

I really thought this was going to be an essay about how her rhetoric is empty and all she has to say is how "Michigan" she is, but nope. Just more racism.

“An almost perfectly executed invisible pander” “An ALMOST perfectly executed inivisible pander” “An almost PERFECTLY executed invisible pander” “An almost perfectly executed INVISIBLE PANDER” “An almost perfectly EXECUTED invisible pander” “An ALmost perfectly EXecuted inVISible PANder” 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

off rip the misuse of code switching lets me know I'm in for a ride. "fire breathing" "positions that are nevertheless insane". wear your bias more on your sleeve why don't you, yeesh.

Well, racist Republicans don't want her to win. They just want to make sure a Muslim can't.

On the other hand, this is going to be such a wave year for Democrats that she still might actually win if she's the nominee, so I don't know.

Murdoch has a real talent for finding the worst people

it's the WSJ opinion page, they want to hurt her if she's the nominee

They're not trying to win. They literally don't care if the Republican wins, as long as the progressive doesn't. That is their primary goal--keep progressives from power.

That's the point.

their strategy is so bad it's like they are trying to lose

Luckily she's currently losing by 10 points, despite billionaires buying her primo puff pieces like this one

Matthew Hennessy doesn’t care. He’s a conservative who works for the Manhattan Institute. Fucker just wants to do as much damage as possible.

nice. looks like you're all about the racism then huh? fuck outta here with this take

Every other article from legacy media now is just an openly racist screed

the democratic party oozes Islamophobia from every pore what are they talking about?

I mean, it was written by a conservative who works for the Manhattan Institute. That said, it sounds strangely similar to the way Steven’s has talked about El-Sayed.

"Haley Stevens is a Michigander, he is a Muslim" -the author

Yes, god knows it's much easier for a Muslim man to do anything in the USA than a white woman... 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ What a fascist-enabling rag.

The coveted WSJ endorsement… is about as popular as AIPAC in a democratic primary. youtube.com/shorts/vSo4_...

Christ whoever wrote this please just join the Republican party those are your people

He was born in the same town she was! He grew up in Michigan! He went to UMich, while the white lady went to college in DC. And if you think Muslims have some kind of advantage in the Dem party, let me tell you about the reception Mamdani got.

Because it’s a Rupert Murdoch propaganda outlet.

What the hell?! Why are they being racist?! If Steven’s is so great they should stick to policy not claim ppl only support Abdul because of his identity.

Honestly giving this more thought it’s a textbook example of “to someone used to privilege, equality feels like oppression.” People are pissed that being white is not automatically giving this woman an advantage and their interpreting that as the brown guy having an unfair advantage.

“Land of contrasts” ass op ed

Take it as a sign the oligarchs are scared shitless that the worms are starting to turn.

They already preparing the “I lost because of anti-white racism” right-wing rallying cry

Republicans been trying to turn Americans against each other for 50 years. E pluribus unum, assholes.

Wall Street Journal. Rupert Murdoch. Nuff said.

Is that the lady that sounds like a muppet?

Yeah but do it without any preface. Just read the quote and ask if they agree. If no ask why X powerful establishment dem said it, etc. Enough of the polite bullshit get these people on the record before they know they’re crossing Nancy Pelosi or Chuck Schumer. Then just revel in the sputtering.

Imagine the fun too. Have 5 racist statements and ask the audience to pick which are Stevens and which are racist war mongers and then reveal they’re all her.

Committing Matthew Hennessy to memory

I love these articles that just come out and say "I like that she's willing to cheat but she needs to do it better."

white victimhood is a sad place to hide

And yet she has a 50 million dollar warchest. In the primary.

Dude's name is Matthew Hennessey and he's just a WSJ contributor. So it's not a Democrat, just a racist shitbag who's most likely a Republican.

Considering his bio at WSJ is obsessed with 9/11 to a creepy level 25 years later, I'd say Hennessey being mad that a Muslim might be elected to the Senate is like calling water wet. opinion.wsj.com/wsj_author/m...

what a delight!

That is right out of Lewis Carroll.

Lool Hennessey. Lmao

So, which Wall Street Journal MAGAt wrote that drivel?

@wsj.com is a bought and paid for corpo rag

Unsurprising that some honky ass guy at wsj has zero comprehension of race dynamics in america

Crap full of crap

I don’t know who this Matt Hennessey dude is, but he’s a dimwit.

She’s a disgusting bigot and I hope she loses this election and any others she may run in for the rest of her life

Centrists and conservatives are neighbors and sometimes tend to each other's gardens. If your house is ever being fumigated, you go stay at your neighbor's house, the one who owes you for tending to his azaleas.

It's so telling re: how the right views race

genuinely wsj guys live on a different planet than the rest of us

She's fuckin' weird.

they never stop saying it right out loud bsky.app/profile/t0us...

So fucking stupid.

Live shot of Michiganders reading WSJ

Or perhaps not so much a weird thing as an obviously racist thing, and this article is obviously written by a racist.

They were born in the same city, and considering she is a swindler with no friends, she is less of a Michigander than he is.

She’s a Republican

Sorry, Wall Street Journal, we are not doing this in Woke 2.0

It's okay — it'll all work out. don't worry. be happy.

Only a mediocre white man could come up with drivel this outstanding. And I’m a bit of an experienced mediocre white man. Sometimes I wonder what happened to people like this to end up this way. I think it must have started with their mothers saying that the were special.

This sounds astonishingly like something Lee Atwater or Roger Stone would put together as a way to cripple a Democratic candidate. Republicans must really want to run against El Sayed and not Stevens.

No idea what this imbecile is babbling about, but the Identity Olympics sounds awesome! I'd watch!

Hey Waldorf, Take a michigander at these dumbasses

Reverse-double-back-flip 780 racism. It's fine.

Michigander here. El-Sayed talks like everyone I know. Stevens talks like a cartoon character. The accent is fake, she is fake, and people can tell.

New "the boss told me in private they had to hire a less qualified darkie" has dropped

i wouldn’t mind letting there be some doubt about that

Nice to know the WSJ opinion page hasn’t changed

Ironically Stevens and El-Sayed were born in the same town.

?!?!

Well, but don't you see? One of them is ... *gasp* BROWN and a MUSLIM. I can't roll my eyes hard enough ...

I know that this is entirely just "wsj gutter racism" but it's fucking mind boggling that Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, whose big claims to fame is RUNNING HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, an act that is inherently saying "the system is more helpful than not and can be made better still" is being called "fringy".

I think I remember the Identity Olympics sketch? Second City? Monty Python? Firesign Theatre? Huh.

Hilarious from a guy who is neither a Michangder nor a Democrat. Dude used to right conservative opinion pieces, and wrote a book about how Gen X needs to save America from millenials with their internet and avocado toast and hula hoops.

Totally fair

They think it's about identity politics still, and not about anti-war policies and kitchen table issues

Haley Stevens is an awful person. Let there be no doubt about that

Stevens and El-Sayed were born in the same town, literally within a mile or two of each other. I wonder why the newspaper thinks one is a real American and one isn't.

This is blatantly trying to create a wedge in the Dems to try to get liberal women to vote for Haley even though she hates most of them. Women have been rightfully expanding their footprint in the dem caucus for years and this one just happens to be pretty shitty on a lot of very big issues.

Omfg

Why is it that anti-Squad conservative Dems now talk like Bernie Bros circa 2016 complaining about idpol? It’s like everyone rhetorically switched sides.

I see we are at the white tears part of this process.

WSJ sounding increasingly like Fox News. Gee, they must be owned by the same investor in stellar journalism.

wsj is run by racists, let there be no doubt about that

never change, wsj opinions page

I'm not voting for Abdul because he's a man, I'm voting for him because he's the better candidate. As far as I'm concerned Stevens ability to lie and scheme against Dr. El Sayed says more about her than anything else. It doesn't help that she's a very cringe person.

Dem establishment and aipac dropping so much money and influence on such a weak ass candidate is just so damning

I live in Ohio and she's totally an Ohioan, sadly.

Really surprised that the headline isn’t: Here follows a totally biased article about the Michigan Democratic primary election.

Just to be clear: he's saying that the Dem voters who support Abdul are doing so *only* bc he's "different"? Not bc he like actually supports progressive causes like universal health care? What a fundamental error in reading the electorate. His brain is cooked by the pundit take factory.

Ah so brown guy is obviously not WSJ your true colors are showing

I love watching democrats attempt to appeal to the “moderate racist” demographic

They're all letting their masks drop, these days.

This lady doesn’t stand a chance

Do we have to do this Woke 1.0 OG Tumblr ass shit in the year 2026 ?!

Someone took an egg beater to the brain.

Michiganders don’t claim her

Remember when Kamala campaigned with Liz Cheney?

He also has several doctorates, so.. Dr. El-Sayed. But don't let that stand in the way of the islamophobia, WSJ.

I thought you were like quoting someone on Twitter then saw it was WSJ and...wow.

Just flood the zone right

WSJ opinions are ever to be discarded

he describes her rant about the Cool Kids as "perfectly executed" buddy...

As I read his bio I died inside

Your semi-regular reminder that the WSJ opinion section is Always Wrong but it is useful to know the things it has decided to be Always Wrong about.
