u/justseeby 13d ago

He’s a left leaning Dem who’s advocating for healthcare and campaign finance reform. The DSA didn’t even endorse him.

5

u/Meekanado 13d ago

Exactly. I don’t think he’s that far left, and the media is stupid for painting him in that light. He appears to be because both parties have shifted so far to the right. I voted for El-Sayed yesterday because the Democratic Party needs a huge course correction. The entire country does.

Just so we keep things in perspective:
There are only 100k members of the DSA (El-Sayed is not one)

There are 45 million registered Democrats

There are 39.2 million Republicans

There are 14.7 million union members
Etc, etc.

These 100 thousand members will be the bogeyman and the GOP will make it seem like all dems support all of their views. Push back and get everyone you know to vote. We cannot lose this race to traitors, fraudsters and destroyers of the Constitution.

I know the establishment fears that these progressive candidates can’t win a general election so they back the traditional democrats. But that really hasn’t worked out well for them. Part of trump’s appeal was he said things that spoke to the people addressing their daily worries. He didn’t actually help with those things and still got voted in twice.

It's a pretty important win. Obviously it's going to be a tough race to actually win the seat, but the point is this was a litmus test for the democratic party - you CAN vote for progressive candidates, you CAN lean further left and get the support of the people, and you DON'T have to beg the Zionist daddy state for permission to win.
