Please just go away already.
Fuck
Please just go away already.
Fuck
Why would El-Syaed agree to such a thing.
From NBC:
Roxie Richner, a spokesperson for El-Sayed, told NBC News on Wednesday that “Abdul is thrilled to welcome Vice President Harris to Michigan for a conversation about improving Black maternal health and bringing down healthcare costs.”
Richner added: “He looks forward to hearing directly from Black women and healthcare providers and discussing how he’ll continue that work in the Senate. There’s no better choice for Michiganders than Abdul when it comes to making healthcare more affordable, and he’s grateful Vice President Harris will join him in spreading that message.”
I share your sentiment to a degree. However, Kamala remains popular with centrist liberal voters who are still sore she lost the 2024 election. Having her endorse El-Sayed on his campaign trail could entice voters who see him as “extreme.”
At this point, he needs every last vote he can conjure. It’s politics in 2026. Such is the state of a corrupt, two-party, winner-take-all electoral system.
We've been calling him a liberal Zionist for a while now, well the you go directly partnering with the genocide committers to absolve them off accountability and normalize "we're against killing, on both sides" and "two state solution" bullshit.
Hope it brings him down and teaches others a lesson.
Who the fuck is the "we" you speak for in your insane purity test?
Purity testing is when you check if somebody supports settler colonialism, as everyone knows.
And he has openly criticized the genocide, but because he didn't also do a backflip while doing so apparently he needs to fall so a Republican can take his seat.
This is exactly fucking it. You hear "Gaza genocide real" in the year of 2026 and you immediately start soyfacing because of it. Get a fucking grip.
Has your favourite Dubai landlord made 1 (one) anti-Zionist (not liberal Zionist) statement yet? Or is he too busy collaborating with the main genocidaires while not doing the bare minimum (what you call a "backflip" for fucks sake).
Has your favourite Dubai landlord
I'm just gonna highlight that and walk away with a W.
Roflmao, you deny THAT? 🤣
Edit: For anybody who's not a cowardly little removed: https://freebeacon.com/democrats/abdul-el-sayed-discloses-rental-property-in-dubai-and-outstanding-debt-to-luxury-developer-behind-resort-style-community/
"That's some nice 'evidence' you've got there. Unfortunately, the person talking about it doesn't agree with me politically so that means it's not real."
It's electorialism actually. El-Sayed may not be perfect. But look who you're allying with to criticize him.
Maybe you will answer the question they were obviously too cowardly/ignorant/your alt to answer.
Who should I write in?
Lmao "my alt?"
Personally, I think you should probably vote for El-Sayed, because I'm not that person and don't agree with all of her positions on everything. See, and I know this is a difficult concept to grasp, sometimes, a person is right about something, even if I disagree with them about something else. Kind of like Free Beacon, actually!
I'm just chiming in to point out how utterly ridiculous you're being by writing off evidence just because the source presenting the evidence is biased.
"Get out of the road! There's a car coming!"
"Who did you vote for? Who do you say I should vote for?"
"Turn around! Look, you can see it with your own eyes!"
"So, you're too cowardly to answer my questions."
"Dude, she's right, there's a car right there!"
"You must be her alt then. Who do you say I should vote for?"
Oh so you're just criticizing the cantidate you hope wins?
Maybe pull over and let someone else drive.
Oh so you’re just critisicing the cantidate you hope wins?
Yes? That's called being intellectually honest and not a partisan hack.
Are you openly admitting that you won't acknowledge criticism of people you support, even if that criticism is backed by hard evidence?
No I'm admitting most people are too ignorant to engage with politics intellectually and it's the job of those who will to simplify the positions for them.
If the other side is going to stand lock step against us; our divisions will be exploited.
You win an election or you lose it. Intellectual honesty doesn't get a vote multiplier.
So you're a partisan hack and a liar, understood.
And a bad liar, at that. If you're gonna lie, don't do so in a way that you can get caught out and exposed so easily lmao.
I'm an objectivist.
If you want to align yourself with fools and charlitains to pretend you have some moral high ground be my guest.
The facts remain the facts no matter how they are twisted.
Either way vote El-Sayed is the end of your point and that's fine with me.
Well don't worry in the upcoming election of truth versus lies I'll very much be on your side.
But in this specific election. The real one that actually exists, you're serving Mike Rodgers. So feel free to list his myriad financial entanglements in the pursuit of truthfulness and fairness that you're so obviously committed to.
I'm "serving" Mike Rodgers? Keep this up and people will be able to start saying that reality has a conservative bias.
I even said that I think people should vote for El-Sayed. But I also acknowledged something that is objectively true. If telling the truth is "serving" his opponent, if his path to winning depends on spreading lies and misinformation, then perhaps I should reconsider my assessment.
Some of us are more concerned with building a movement than on your petty electoral shit, and betraying people's trust with misinformation is not a basis for a movement. Doing so in such a way that you instantly get caught, and then doubling down and admitting all of this openly, is not even helpful to the goal of winning an election.
"Petty electorial shit"
I fucking died laughing.
Build your non electorial movement then swine.
What a fascinating campaign strategy. First admit to being a liar, then call people who say to vote for your candidate "swine."
The facts remain the facts no matter how they are twisted.
Lol, very rich of you to say that.
The fact is the claim about El-Sayed being a Dubai landlord is objectively true. It remains a fact, even if you try to twist it by claiming that anyone who acknowledges it is "aligning with fools and charlatans."
Either way vote El-Sayed is the end of your point and that’s fine with me.
It absolutely is not. Whether you vote for him or not is trivial, whether you are honest or not is much more important. The end of my point is that you're a liar and a hack, and that you're not even good at being a lying hack.
Lol can't wait to see what the "Honesty Senate" accomplishes.
I can't wait to see what, "Hey everybody, I'm a liar, and I think you should vote for this guy" accomplishes.
See it's the implication that truth exists that makes me see you as an ignorant child.
Might want to workshop it before you put that on the side of a bus.
As opposed to? What's your bus slogan?
I don't have one, I'm not the one promoting him.

It's easy to be against anything with nothing to defend.
So easy I wonder why anyone would devote a moment to the exercise.
Of course I have things to defend. El-Sayed is not one of them.
What I'm confused about is, why defend anything if nothing is true?
Oh no, I'm so owned.
If I were actually trying to discredit El-Sayed, and I didn't believe in intellectual honesty, I'd probably go around telling blatant lies on his behalf and then doubling down on "lying is good" when called out.
Can you honestly say you think this is a good look?
Yeah, that's consistent with what I'd do if I were trying to discredit him while pretending to be a supporter too.
Hey just glad we both support him.
That too! It's like you're trying to make voting for him as odious as possible.
I said it as a jape before, but now I'm wondering if you really are a right-wing op.
Well to all the undecided voters who have followed us to the the third or fourth segments of the extended comments on the trans communist website I'll tell ya. We support El-Sayed, his stance against billionaires and for universal healthcare and a free Palestine are real. We're allowed to disagree. And if two people as opposed as myself and Objection@lemmy.ml can agree on that then you know he's the right choice.
Would you like to dispute his financial disclosures, or is the only thing you have is them being biased?
Posting right wing agitprop is posting right wing agitprop.
It's not my problem that American liberal media doesn't talk about it, and this still does nothing to refute that Abdul El-Sayed is a self-admitted capitalist Dubai landlord who owns 3 rental properties (the others being in India and Michigan).
Oh is the election between El-Sayed and a perfect Marxist without a speck on their record?
Oh it's not?
Wow post more right wing links. It's not weird or telling that you read those.
You're right. He's a good Dubai landlord.
Alright tell me what name to write in.
I'll await your response with baited breath.
It's always good when people like you out themselves, that you consider opposition to genocide, apartheid, and occupation an "insane purity test".
"If you don't agree with every single word I say exactly like I say it you are a right wing extremist and a literal nazi.
Now if you don't mind I need to inform the mailing list that you and everyone you associate with have been canceled."
They literally killed over 50,000 people while gaslighting us about it, blaming Hamas at every turn, refused to even talk about the topic on three campaign except for calling for the deadliest military, defending Israel's non-existent "right to exist", and saying she can't think of a single thing she would have done differently than Biden.
Or as you put it, "don't agree with ever single word I far exactly like I say it".
What you're doing is genocide denial. You're minimizing and flat out denying her involvement in the genocide, and trying to twist reality and convince others that our issue with her is over disagreement on words.
Disingenuous. Life's not that black and white, especially in politics. Someone can be against those things, and still have voted for Kamala because it was the best option available.
You cannot be against genocide and vote for the person saying they will continue it. You're disingenuous. This was Biden's genocide and Kamala said there's not one thing she'd have done different.
Oh, so you're saying we should have voted for Donald Trump? Thats what youre arguing for right now? Please elaborate on that. Or should we just not have voted at all? Which, by the way, still results in Donald Trump becoming president.
I cannot see any way that voting for Trump would have been the "correct" thing to do.
Why? Does he want to lose?
https://infosec.pub/comment/23712904
Trump's policies were all unpopular and people hated his ideas.
He won because media told people the Democrat's good ideas were his and that only be could be trusted to implement them, and too many believed it. He copied promises from Kamala outright and media only reported on his statements and not hers.
People LIKED the Democrat campaign plan. They were simply convinced to not trust it by propaganda.
this can only be fixed with a 3 hour special on the young turks
obviously
Are they doing that thing that parents do to try and get their kids to stop doing something by showing interest in it?
I'd prefer if she stayed away.
everyone would prefer if she stayed away. However the DNC is probably going to push her again as they consider her the 'safe' candidate who is not going to upset their donors or push any sort of real change like people want.
I.E. the candidate that will lose, but they can shrug their shouldres and go "but we twied"
She's going to run in 2028, isn't she? She's trying to ride his coattails.
Ooh. This is probably not a good idea. She's toxic as fuck.
Can you explain what you mean by that? Toxic? How?
Most progressives see her as something of an opportunistic, establishment puppet. She was chosen to be Biden's VP, in order to pander to the black / Latino vote, and specifically because she lacked the moral core to oppose the establishment in any meaningful way.
Her presence may be viewed as the DNC either trying to co-opt El-Sayed's campaign and steer it towards the establishment's goals...or that it was all astroturf from the beginning, and shouldn't be trusted.
a lot of shitty dems have turned coat and said they'll support rogers. i suspect this is an attempt to get them back. I hate it, but that's the best reason I can come up with.
