That said, although some of their concepts can be seen in a more rational light, such as health care expansion, their presentation of it along with their other ideas is so atypical and frankly, weird, that its national appeal will fall flat on its face. The whole thing looks bizarre...
Countering one extreme with another. Not exactly a winning strategy.

The Democrat Party has become the party of Hasan Piker and Abdul el Sayed, and is now the party that has become anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, and Anti-American

Is it “American” to imprison people indefinitely without charges or meaningful due process, based largely on who they appear to be?

Is it “American” to use the power of government to punish or intimidate the press for writing stories unflattering to the President—or comedians for mocking him?

Is it “American” to continually praise tyrannical dictators while degrading democratically elected leaders?

WTF "America" did you grow up in?
An alternate reality where he's a man's man and who looks like his avatar, is popular with the women, and has a degree in biomedical engineering (before that, physics).  None of these are true in actual reality.

When there are only two or three that will (sometimes) respond to anything posted surely makes me long for the old days here before a certain someone came on the scene and chased them all away. 

Back on topic Trump only did this to hopefully sway voters in red states so it's not too embarrassing of a loss in two weeks. Not sure if this action will do what he wants as it's the high prices of diesel and fertilizer that they care about. It ain't rocket science and trump doesn't seem to be even as smart as a sanitation engineer considering he's so full of crap.
Did you get your $90 Trump medicare bribe yet?  I did.  Sorry, still voting against every single R on the ballot, and will continue to do so as long as Trump/MAGA stupidity continues to influence the party.

The forum's not entirely dead, notwithstanding the little braindead loudmouth. LOL

It's truly pathetic, isn't it?  It's only the umpteenth example of the complete incompetence of this administration.

Beautiful. Looks like Oregon, especially seeing the metal roof and mini-split.

I can't remember if he has a nickname for you James.
At one point he claimed I was a telephone repairman. Not that there would be anything wrong with that.

Abdul El Sayed is THE perfect Leftist Democrat Candidate as he holds ALL the attributes that the Dem party loves. He hates Israel, he sides w/ terrorists like Hamas, he supports the Muslim Brotherhood, he lied about being a Doctor, his best friend is a t

Radical leftist Liz Warren loves him.  AOC loves him.  Bernie Sanders loves him.  They all appeared with hi\m onstage and praised him and said they supported him as a Senate Candidate.

He wrote to Morsi, the head of the terrorist group Muslim Brotherhood a number of years back, telling him to Crush the press and police as soon as possible.  

El Sayed lied and said he didn't support the Muslim Brotherhood.  He said he can't criticize the Ayatollah Khamenei (because he supported Iran)

He said that Israel was worse than Iran. He accuses Israel of committing genocide against Gazans, which is a despicable lie.

The terrorist group The Muslim Brotherhood came out and endorsed El Sayed.

His Best Friend Hasan Piker, another terrorist supporter, said that America deserved 9/11.  He wants to drive Israel into the Sea, and wipe out the state of Israel.

When el Sayed was asked about those comments, he did not denounce them and said that he has a right to his opinion.

El Sayed was asked to denounce the vile Ayatollah leadership and he refused to do so.

There is SO much more about this terrorist supporter that is too long to list.  Nevertheless Democrats all over Michigan will vote for this scumbag.

His sister confirmed that he and everyone in his family ARE Muslim Brotherhood.

He lied and claimed he is a doctor.  He's not,  

But not to worry, my guess is that Michigander Jim Moscheck WILL vote for him, either directly or indirectly by NOT casting a vote for his opponent Mike Rogers.

The Democrat party will welcome every communist, every socialist, and every terrorist and terrorist supporter into their open arms.
Says the loser who lies about his educational background.  Tell us more about your biomedical engineering degree. LOL

After that, refute any of the facts I posted about El Sayed.  

I'm sure you'll shine the bright light you aren't in your job connecting television for those who order it from Comcast.

Wow it would really suck to be you.

I'm thinking the same.  If it happens, I hope the Ds don't squander it by wasting the next couple years occupied with endless impeachments and lawsuits.

I'm not going to get too excited until all votes are counted, it does seem like a referendum on trump's policies. 

How long before trump starts yelling rigged?
You know it's going to happen, and it will alienate even more people.
