As for Abdul El-Sayed who has caused the rightwing to melt down, he is
not a member of the DSA.
Ironically, they don't have a monopoly on socialism. Bernie endorsed
him for governor in 2017 and he campaigned for Bernie in 2020. He's a socialist. He worked in public health. What do you think his views on
public funding of medicine might be?
He wants to do all this "radical" stuff like get money out of politics,
put money in average Americans' pockets,
He favors highly regressive taxes. He supported expanding the sales tax
so that it could be levied by local government. He favors local rent
control, which would exaccerbate the housing shortage, the opposite of
making housing more affordable for all. These two policies harm the
working class.
promote Medicare for all,
If Americans wanted this, we'd have it. It means collecting a payroll
tax 5 times greater than the one we have now, of course.
and quit sending US blood and treasure over to Israel.
Somehow you missed that he wants to cut off military subsidies to Egypt
and other Middle Eastern countries too.
You know, really radical stuff that most Americans support.
Like Bernie, he opposes situations in which there are corporate
oligopolies. I agree with this. He's still campaigned with Hasan Piker,
por Hamas, anti-Israel, apologized for 9/11 attacks. He may not be as anti-Semitic snd generally nuts as some, but he doesn't want me as his
best friend.
But you won't see that in the $100 million mudslinging ad blitz
Republicans are going to throw at him.
Listen to me. Democrats are not supposed to be the socialist party.
Embracing socialism like this will be our destruction. I want the Trump endorsed candidate to win Michigan by a large enough margin that the
embrace of socialism is blamed for our not taking back the Senate.
If the two candidates differ by less than 2% in the polls, the embrace
of socialism won't end.
