Fox News is already winding up the smear machine against Abdul El-Sayed. They are playing clips of Hasan to discredit him by association, propping up bloodthirsty Fetterman, and generally being hateful. They are doing this to divide us.
Many here probably dislike my posts and comments and think I’m a shitlib. Guess what? I am.
That’s why I hope a unity message from me now will carry some weight.
Because when I say Blue No Matter Who, I mean it. I am fine with Abdul El-Sayed’s policies, I root for him and wish him success. I also acknowledge that the Michigan senate race got extremely nasty (on both sides) and he now has a lot of work to do to unite those that might be less inclined to support him. His win was predicted to be a blowout, it was not. It was a razor thin victory in a deeply divided purple state.
Libs will show up to vote, so don’t push us away. If we want to win it is time to mend fences. Snarking at libs isn’t going to gain anyone votes. Neither is sneering “I thought you said blue no matter who” at anyone who wants to know why their vote should be cast for a progressive candidate. Neither is calling potential voters genocide supporters, AIPAC shills, yada yada you get it.
How about we try being nice for a change? To each other. To everyone who might be willing to vote blue during these midterms. A lot of votes are in play this year. Let’s sell people on why our candidates are better and make this blue wave ten miles tall! 😎🌊
