It's too close to call over at the NYT, but "Abdul El-Sayed has won Michigan’s slugfest of a Democratic Senate primary, NBC News projects."

I'm reading "Abdul El-Sayed wins Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, notching a Midwest victory for the left/The former public health official has defeated Rep. Haley Stevens, NBC News projects, despite facing a huge advertising disadvantage."
El-Sayed overcame a nearly $65 million onslaught of outside money and an establishment that had rallied around Stevens. Popular Gov. Gretchen Whitmer endorsed Stevens late last month — a move seen as a last-ditch effort to stop a rising El-Sayed.
Here's the NYT version of the news: "Primary Elections Live Updates: Race Too Close to Call in Democratic Primary for Michigan Senate Seat/Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a progressive, holds a narrow lead over Representative Haley Stevens, a centrist, in a race that divided Democrats. The party sees the seat as key to its hopes of winning control of the chamber" (gift link).
Haley Stevens is now trailing Abdul El-Sayed by fewer than 15,000 votes in Michigan after a batch of votes was reported from Wayne County. While her statewide deficit has narrowed, she will still need very strong margins in the remaining ballots to overtake El-Sayed.

The Establishment can't find 15,000 votes?

UPDATE: The NYT has reported El-Sayed's victor. Here's "El-Sayed’s Win Sets Up the Left’s Biggest Test of the Fall/Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate candidacy poses a critical challenge for Democrats’ ascendant progressive wing: Can an insurgent candidate, with unabashedly liberal positions, win a general election in a moderate state?" Liberal? What are his "unabashedly liberal positions"?

Many in the party’s liberal wing are looking even beyond November. A victory by Dr. El-Sayed would fuel their ambitions in the 2028 presidential race, providing evidence that progressive candidates can win not only in deep blue areas but also across the country.

Confusing! Are we using the word "liberal" — along with "progressive" — to mean far left now?

ADDED: Here's Michelle Goldberg in the NYT — in "Abdul El-Sayed Thinks Progressives Have a Way to Win. I Hope He’s Right" — using the word "liberal" the way I would, distinguishing them from "left-wing populists":

On Tuesday, left-wing populists won the chance to see if their electoral theory holds. Either El-Sayed wins and shows anxious liberals like me new horizons of political possibility, or he loses in a year when Democrats are expected to dominate and offers a hard lesson on the necessity of pragmatism.

If this were the general election and Sayed a Republican, sure, they could find 15,000 votes easy. However, it is trickier to use the required techniques against another Democrat.

I also love the description of the loser as a "centrist"- she most definitely is not a centrist- she is just to the right of Sayed politically and not all that far to the right.

Enigma ayon kay ...

The cellular mitosis between the Dems and DSA must happen. The DSAs have willed either (1) an overthrow of the moderate old timers or (2) a genuine split. The aging, fading 20th century Dems can now only choose between joining the right to moderate it, or sitting on the sidelines until they pass away.

Given the DSA's hated for Manchin, Sinema, and Fetterman, they have chosen an ideologically pure and militant 40 years in the wilderness. The next generation of government stands to be controlled by the emerging Clinton Dems-MAGA coalition. Except for the deep blue pockets -- they stand to become theme parks, zoo exhibits, and examples for cautionary nostalgia tales.

This is not a guy for whom I would have voted. His politics are not mine.

That said, while I don't know details about his medical practices, I do not in theory have a problem with a cash set up for a practice, or a subscription based model. I would like to see us get back to more of that. And I personally have participated in subscription-based health care in two states (Delaware and now Florida). The care is more personalized and the included testing, in my experience with the practices with which I have been involved, is more thorough. My current primary provider allows for unlimited sick visits (don't need that--at least yet, thank God) and also has its own urgent care, the services of which are included in my subscription. You can get same day or next day appointments, the office staff all know you. Appointments aren't rushed, and there is time for thorough planning of longer term health-care goals. It is not managed care, it's personal care. The model is much more akin to what we had prior to the rise of HMOs and PPOs in the '80s and '90s.

So while I wouldn't support this guy politically, if that's the sort of practice he's running (and many do take care of poorer people on a sliding scale), I'm not going to whack him for that just FOR that.

Birches ayon kay ...

If the establishment finds the 15,000 votes they run the risk of the younger DSA members going public with the questionable ballot harvesting ops the Dems have been using for years. Donald Trump would be right so Stevens will take her medicine and get a nice sinecure for her silence.

James K ayon kay ...

Interesting that Stevens won Wayne County, which includes Detroit and Dearborn. Apparently El-Sayed is not popular with blacks.

Also, it seems the non-anti-Semitic vote was split: A third candidate, Mallory McMorrow, who had suspended her campaign in July got 4% of the vote, while El-Sayed has a 1% edge on Stevens. McMorrow is a progressive who acknowledges that Hamas started the war against Israel.

grimson ayon kay ...

It seems that if the current Democratic party is left, Al-Sayed and the DSA should be at least far left.

Back in the day of Clintonian triangulation, Gallup polling showed Democrats were a remarkably centrist, big tent party--25% liberal, 48% moderate, and 25% conservative.

Today, Democrats are 55% liberal, 34% moderate, and 9% conservative.

rcommal ayon kay ...

The medical practices I'm talking about are the antithesis of socialized medicine and corporate-managed care. I see that as a good thing, not a bad thing.

But then I also chose to go with Medigap, not Medicare advantage. Yes, it costs more, but I can choose any doctor I want, I don't need referrals or pre-approvals for the vast majority of things, and I'm never out-of-network no matter where I go. Worth every penny, and I'm lucky I can afford it (at least so far).

So the racist, anti-Semitic Muslim guy with no political experience running on a socialist platform won. This guy loses 75% of the Black vote, loses 75% of the Jewish vote, loses 75% of the rural White vote and still manages to squeak by in the Democratic primary (where Black and Jewish votes are close to 35% of the total cast). He wins by a few thousand votes out of a few million cast. Something feels off about this result.

Having been inundated by their ads for the last month or two, the problem with Haley Stevens is that she is also repellent. She came off as a no-neck little troll, with a cartoon voice and a godawful "Ya, you betcha!" over-the-top accent she actually tried to run on. Reminding us that when anybody makes fun of her they're making fun of all Michiganders. Right...

She also leaned heavily into her years with Obama. And a Whitmer endorsement isn't exactly real popular either. So, given the choice between two rotten candidates, it looks like it's the anti-Israel Commie by a nose.

Sure hope the Dems enjoy being eaten by the monster they created and set loose on this country.

Lazarus ayon kay ...

From the clip I saw of Stevens, she was very unimpressive, more heat than light and sort of a sitcom candidate rather than the real thing. I haven't seen any clips of El-Sayed, but it wouldn't have been hard to beat Haley Stevens.

I suspect the Republican will win handily -- if AIPAC is smart enough not to get involved. Or at least, I really hope the Republican will win, but don't underestimate the Republicans' ability to throw away opportunities.

James K ayon kay ...

El-Sayed won big in the college towns: Ann Arbor, (East) Lansing, Kalamazoo. The strange result is that he won big in Grand Rapids. That was always a Republican area, but maybe the Democrats there are as wacko as anywhere else. The same for the UP and Traverse City area.

El Sayed gets rejected by rural Whites, Blacks (!) and Jews (!) by truly stunning numbers but he wins? Guys, he won because there was a previously silent Socialist majority that has now spoken? This does not feel legitimate. I guess, maybe "first time" voters carried him to victory? But we all know about the first time, never, ever voted in their lives voters who religiously fill out mail in ballots for the Democrat Socialists. I'm sorry but this feels like a stolen election.

I think the federal government and the FBI needs to a do a deep dive...

So the Democrat Machine Progressives have a difficult decision to make: Do they spend their meagers on producing votes to win a primary, or do they reserve them for the midterms? This is essentially a budgeting question, and we all know how good they are at budgets. They're now fighting an existential war, on two fronts, one of them internal. Talk about shifting fortunes in less than one election cycle.....

mindnumbrobot ayon kay ...

And people thought Mamdani won because of his smile and social media strategy. There is a rot in America, and it's coming from the Left.

It's a good reminder that money isn't the determining factor it once was. That's been happening since 2016 when Trump won despite being heavily outspent. Republicans touting their cash advantage going into the midterms are setting themselves up for failure.

Bernie Sanders has argued for years that Democratic leaders are wrong to favor moderate, establishment candidates they believe can win purple states and suburban voters. But so far, there is no polling to support his claim in this race. Not a single public poll shows Abdul El-Sayed leading Mike Rogers in a general election.

That could change if El-Sayed wins the nomination, the party unifies behind him, and outside money and media attention pour in. But given how divisive the primary has been, unity isn’t guaranteed. For now, the available evidence does not support Sanders’ broader argument that progressive candidates are more electable statewide or nationally against Republicans.

The Dutch in SW Michigan were very Republican but didn't like Trump at all (it was similar with the Mormons in 2016). Lately, Grand Rapids is becoming more Democrat than it used to be. Admittedly, I don't know how Dutch Grand Rapids still is now.

There's a python in the woods. Some people say the python is DSA and the aging old-line Democrats are the mammal that they've swallowed and passing through their innards.

The Obama to Trump era forced a massive ratchet effect for both parties: Dems moved from the Clinton center to DEI, Soviet-like poster iconography, and they fabricated Soviet-like doublespeak "rules" when they couldn't win a "democratic" vote. Obama also had to contend with the Occupy Wall St. and Tax the 1% socialists way back then -- a hint of the open ratcheting to come with Biden.

Trump's wins and the TDS reaction precipated a massive once-per-century transformation. He moved into formerly lefty activism, protectionism and working class support, so the Dems "had to go somewhere." The left chose primal knee-jerk tribalism but called it Woke -- setting up for the next round of tribal and Great Powers wars.

This is how Netanyahu yanks Trump around like an organ grinder’s monkey. This is why Congress is working on passing a law that bypasses Congress to get weapons to Israel in the future, and ties future president’s hands when dealing with this one single foreign country with the same population as Belgium when WWI was started to protect a fraction of the number of people that died in that war and its follow ups.

With a 15,000 vote difference it's entirely possible that cross-over voting put him over the top, but it seems unlikely to me that there were so many republican votes so as to make the race close in the first place.

RCOCEAN II ayon kay ...

Yep, all the whoop-ti-do over this primary, and the MSM attention, comes because El Kabong has said a few bad words about Israel's genocide in Gaza. If he was in the pocket of AIPAC, like Stevens, nobody in the MSM would care, it'd just be another leftwing insurgent toppling a boring establishment candidate.

Given the small vote margin, I'm suprised the MSM is calling it for El-Kabong, but maybe most of the uncounted vote is in districts won by him.

They've outsourced their fraud to the "Progressives" (see Seattle Mayor's race last year), so no, the Dem Establishment can no longer find 15k votes when going against the harder Left.

DDHQ has called it for El-Sayed, and I can't remember the last time they got one of these wrong.

So
1: I'm happy the DSA and Islamist scum bag won
2: I'm glad the race was so tight. That means there's a bunch of Dem voters who are up for grabs, and Rogers has a reasonable chance to win

What the Dems really need this year is for a LOT of DSA candidates to lose in the GE, including every single tight race, and a few that shouldn't have been even close. Because if they don't get that, they're going to be owned by the DSA in 2028

Approximate percentages of Mormons who voted for the Republican presidential candidate:
2008 (John McCain): 72%
2012 (Mitt Romney): 78%
2016 (Donald Trump): 61%

The drop from McCain to Trump was essentially double the rise from McCain to Romney. Relatively speaking, no, Mormons did NOT like Trump

Some obervations:

1) El-Sayed is charismatic and a bit of a chameleon. He can sound like a radical when in front of activists, and he sounds every bit like a safe, "he's one of us!" Columbia- and Oxford-trained policy wonk when speaking to Democrat donors and moderates. A lot of women swoon at the idea of a good-looking, well-spoken, young-ish doctor.

2) Haley Stevens comes across as "weird," unlikeable, and unsophisticated, regardless of her policies. She is another weak candidate from a major party. Once again, the question must be asked: In a state with millions of people, is this really the best candidate that the establishment can find?

3) Michigan has open primaries. How many Republicans voted for a radical Democrat on the assumption that he would fail spectacularly in a general election?

Taken together, it really is a surprise that Stevens did as well as she did, but who knows what that means for November?

Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ ayon kay ...

The Democrats have a path to a Senate majority without Michigan. However, aside from El-Sayed's strength as a candidate, he is going to force Republicans to spend even more money in the general election, which might create opportunities for Democrats in states that are viewed as longer shots (Alaska, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas). Although recent Texas polling shows Talarico moving ahead of Paxton.

Indeed. Although it's only assumption, I think it's safe to say many Stevens voters weren't voter for her as much as against El-Sayed. Combined with Independents, hard to see this goes any other way than to Rogers in the general.

Also, El-Sayed's Islamist brother from another mother, Hasan Piker, is doing his part to bring the Party together: "'Everyone being like, 'Abdul has a fuck-ton of work to do mending bridges', here's the fucking take nuke for you: You are all unbelievably Islamophobic pieces of shit.'"

I would have bet on Stevens to win. She's a generic D, and in MI that's generally enough.

El-Sayed is not generic. Neither was Jay Jones, and he still won last year, so it's certainly possible that El-Sayed will win this year.

As to the genocide in the Middle East, I guess there is at least one, just not the one talked about.

Since 1948, the Palestinian population in the Middle East has grown 11-fold, while the Jewish population has grown 5-fold. Where Jews once had communities in most nations of the Middle East, today there are zero Jewish communities left anywhere but in a tiny 0.4% area of the Middle East called Israel. At the same time, Christians are being murdered by the thousands and are on their way to a similar extinction across Islamic-controlled areas worldwide. The victims of genocide are being accused of genocide. Can it get any more immoral than that?

The Fact-Finding Mission warned that similar patterns of civilian devastation are now actively being employed in El Obeid, where the Mission is launching an urgent inquiry into any alleged human rights violations and abuses.

The latest investigation - a supplementary paper building on the severe international law violations the Mission documented in its earlier report, “Hallmarks of Genocide in El-Fasher” – details additional evidence of atrocities, including detention, torture, ransom-taking and the enforced disappearance of civilians."

Overview
Since April 2023, Sudan has been engulfed in a civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). During this conflict, the RSF has carried out ethnically targeted massacres, widespread sexual violence, and enforced disappearances, particularly in Darfur’s El Fasher region, which a UN fact-finding mission has identified as showing the hallmarks of genocide .
. The campaign has primarily targeted non-Arab communities, including the Zaghawa, Fur, and Masalit peoples .

Scale and Impact
The conflict has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and the displacement of millions of people, with estimates of up to 400,000 killed and 11 million displaced since the outbreak of hostilities.

The RSF’s operations included an 18-month siege that deliberately deprived civilians of food, water, medical care, and humanitarian assistance, creating conditions calculated to destroy these communities physically and socially

It will be interesting to see how the redistricted states vote, will the same people be in charge of the fake votes as before or will a new group fake the votes. Perhaps redistricting won’t help if the same people fake the votes.

The two claims are not incompatible. In fact they are complementary. As you note somewhat awkwardly, in order to issue a ballot you have to have an entry in the voter registration system. An illegal alien provides just such an entry using the extremely lax voter registration laws put in place by Democrats over several decades. And there is no need to assume the illegal alien is the person who is actually filling out the ballot when it can be mailed anywhere and deposited in an unverifiable drop box.

-before you were 20 you saw the financial system collapse and your relatives spending their money bailing out the authors of the collapse.
-almost simultaneously if society began to insult you if you were a man
-almost simultaneously, if you went to college and were a man, you were taught the science that showed you were born a monster. You saw plagiarism, cheating, racism. You saw that you would end up with debt which you could not pay back because you weren't going to get the jobs because the good jobs were going to the unqualified.
whether you went to college or not, you saw that you were not going to get the good jobs and the good promotions because those were going to the unqualified.
- and if you survived all this you saw many who did not.

So, you think there should be a social safety net as in Norwegian socialism. But when you start to call for that, your elders, who have been disregarding the actual conditions of your existence, suddenly wake up and spring into action, denouncing the reforms you want as Stalinism. You ask why there's no money for your social safety net but there is money for Israel. Instead of beginning to talk about your actual economic existence, your elders start talking about the Holocaust. Then, the Socialists say there could be a social safety net, if not for Israel. Then you call for an end to aid for Israel, the money to go to a social safety net as in Norway. You simply don't understand why your elders keep saying: it isn't about Israel; it's about the bjbvkdjbvdfbvkdbv. You vote for a Muslim, a socialist, a Nazi, anyone, who says you are right. You don't ask about whether the money going into fraud is destroying the social safety net. You don't ask why there is no investigation into fraud in the social safety net.

Why should you ask? No one else.is asking. But you should ask because this is your issue. It' you who flounder while others plagiarize, cheat and steal. You will never have a social sefety net regardless of your votes for socialism, communism or the caliphate, while you ignore the existing patterns of corruption in the Democratic party.

Nope.

But we don't know the actual number, because they won't release their voter rolls to the Federal Government, will they? They refuse, and are fighting in court, just like other blue states.

Those 'registered voter illegal alien' numbers don't align with the KNOWN numbers in states that did comply - and NJ, unlike other states, has a check box and relies on an 'honor system' (their words) that illegal aliens would never lie, and check the box to register, and then go and vote in an election, illegally. Except hundreds of cases have already been found of precisely that. It's more likely that the situation in NJ is worse, worse than it is in the Red states that have complied and reported transparently - you know - actually letting somebody look at the records to verify.

Do you just believe everything a public official with a vested interest tells you, because they're standing at a podium? Why won't they release the voter rolls to allow a cross check, Freder?

"Toohey is a maggot who feeds on sores, it will never starve" is a literary description referencing the character Ellsworth Toohey from Ayn Rand's novel The Fountainhead, often used in cultural or political commentary to describe ideological parasitism.
The Source:
Ellsworth Toohey is portrayed in The Fountainhead as a socialist critic and architectural columnist who promotes altruism and collectivism not out of goodness, but to break human spirit and individual achievement.
The Metaphor:
Critics and analysts use the phrase "maggot who feeds on sores" to describe how political or spiritual collectivists exploit human weakness, guilt, and suffering to sustain their own power and influence.The "Never Starve" Aspect: Because societal flaws, pain, and self-doubt are ever-present, a parasitic ideology that feeds on misery will always find an abundant supply of sustenance
