In response to people getting weirdly defensive of AIPAC, I've been pointing to the NRA for a while as a good example of an unwelcome lobbying group that Dems rightly don't hesitate to criticize. It's a group that lobbies for a specific policy position that most Dem voters strongly disagree with.

I think the most important task for Abdul supporters for the next 4 days is to just stay chill. I know he will win graciously and magnanimously. The rest of us have to try our best to follow suit.

Both candidates in the MI primary have mostly tried to avoid treating Israel-Palestine as the central or only issue in the race El-Sayed because his genuine focus is healthcare & campaign finance reform Stevens because she knows she is on the wrong side of I-P relative to where Dem voters are

This is not how a leader talks.

A simple average of these 4 polls: El-Sayed 52.5% Stevens 38.3% for a margin of Abdul +14.2%

The 6 most recent polls of this race now all have El-Sayed up by double digits The 7th most recent poll, Glengariff/Detroit News, from July 8-11, has Stevens up 7

Just knocked 25 doors for Abdul El-Sayed. I had conversations with 10 voters, which is a way higher ratio than I remember in 2024! Some strong Abdul supporters, some leaning Stevens, lots undecided. I love conversations at the doors. I’ll canvas for the Dem nominee this fall, whoever it is.

To be clear, an election night with these 4 results would be an election night where Dems handily win 51+ senate seats

Everyone who opposes Trump needs to be able to look at each other and see allies. Whichever sub-faction you’re in, that means looking past the worst parts of the opposite sub-faction and focusing on the parts you like. We can’t do this without the center. We can’t do this without the left.
