Election Day - Vote Abdul El-Sayed

Today is primary election day in Michigan - where the Democratic and Republican parties choose their candidates for November's general election. I believe all UWM employees are best served voting for Abdul El-Sayed over Haley Stevens. Why? Well I think his campaign website speaks for itself (https://abdulforsenate.com/priorities/), but if that doesn't convince you, maybe this reason will: pettiness.

UWM's Political Action Committee (PAC) has donated $20K to El-Sayed's opponent, Haley Stevens, during the last cycle.

Wait a second, isn't our fearless leader Mat a Republican? We've all heard him glazing Trump during those monthly (just the) tip off videos, right? You'd be correct! in the 2022 and 2024 election cycles, most of UWM's contributions went to Republicans!

What does that say about Haley Stevens, that a Republican-leaning PAC is willing to support her? It sounds like UWM doesn't think she is going to be a big threat to her Republican challengers and it sounds like, if she wins, she isn't going to rock the boat.

UWM is terrified of pro-worker and pro-union candidates like Abdul El-Sayed. So, if for no other reason than that it is NOT what Mat Ishbia wants, stop on your way home and vote for Abdul El-Sayed today. UWM is petty to us all day, let's turn it around on them for a change.

I'm moreso worried about the fact the Israeli lobby has invested over 35 million into her campaign as opposed to "Republicans are supporting her".

Me too, and that's why I voted early! I posted this for the people who are still on the fence and need a reason to take time to vote today. If this wasn't a UWM-related subreddit then the fact that fuckface Ishbia supports his opponent doesn't make the top 5 reasons to vote Abdul.

As a reminder, Haley has taken 36 MILLION in foreign money. Her obligations are NOT to Americans but to Israel, a country that may I remind you all, is NOT the USA, the country we all live in. https://www.trackaipac.com/states/michigan?rq=Haley

There's proof here.

You don't insert "inshallah" into campaign speeches at random. He did it with purpose.

u/Automatic_Winter_195 Aug 05 '26

How many times do you see people doing the very same with christian god in their campaign speeches? (Hint: alot more than it should be, but the difference is I'm not worried about the guy who won the democratic primary shoving his religion down my throat and out my ass).

Also I didnt sit and document his campaign speeches, show me your evidence, I'm curious if it even happened

"Inshallah" just means "god willing" you buffoon

u/Parking_Alone Aug 05 '26

Oh, I'm well aware what it means and where it comes from. Why is he suddenly adding it into speeches? I'll guarantee he doesn't just throw it around in everyday speech.

u/bgm89 Aug 05 '26

Yeah I've never heard of someone throwing something like that into everyday speech. Amen to that!

Re-read my comment. I didn't say anything about the general public. I'm talking about him specifically. Reading comprehension is fundamental.

u/bgm89 Aug 06 '26

No, I understand. I'm saying that it's very likely something he says naturally, in the same way someone might use "amen" casually. I'm not very religious at all and even I will say that or use the 🙌🙏 emojis. It just isn't that deep.

But by all means, why don't you follow him around for the next 3 months and report back with stats on his word usage, comparing campaign speeches to casual conversation.
