    and the establishment is screeching communism.

    They always do that…

    The difference, and why they’re louder than usual, is because they no longer control the DNC.

    The person who does, supports El-Sayed.

    Abdul El-Sayed is a dedicated public servant who fought to make government work for Michigan families. Now, he is ready to take that fight to the U.S. Senate.

    Congratulations, Abdul! Let’s win this.

    So stop calling them “the establishment”, because they no longer control the DNC

    Call them neoliberals and stop letting them make up a new label every six months

      We’ve been calling then the establishment for decades, because that’s what they are. I have no clue where you got the idea that calling them the establishment is some new thing that happened in the last six months

      Just because someone else supposedly controls the DNC now doesn’t magically make all the people behind the curtain disappear. The DNC is only part of the equation. The establishment is the establishment because they still hold all the most powerful public offices and because they control most of the donor money and media access.

      How is that quote showing support for him? It’s literally just describing who El-Sayed is and what he’s doing. He even gives the game away at the end with his “let us win this” line.

      Remember when you posted Ken Martin’s mission statement shortly after he took over? He said he wants to win above all else and this is just an extension of that mission. I doubt he really cares who it is doing the “winning” just so long as they have a “D” next to their name.
