Wanting health care for all and, stuff like that is NOT progressive . It’s what most people want which should be mainstream. This “progressive” and leftists label is a Republican construct.

Unfortunately, it isn’t so much of a Republican construct as a status quo construct of our mainstream media, and corporate Democrats, and Republicans.

I am heartend that Abdul is not having to fight (IMO) against ‘Christianity.’ My plumber thinks religion should not be political, but if Leo could make a generic comment that would point towards Abdul, it would be a miracle to get him elected. It is so encouraging to have someone who values people more than their monetary contribution talking instead of campaigning. Hegseth keeps saying stuff like praise Allah to whip up the evangelicals.

Dr. El-Sayed is indeed an interesting guy with what sounds like a stimulating and ultimately productive set of views, all of which support We the People. Wish there were more like him. (And there will be.)

“We need to act like all of our kids are all of our kids.” Wow made me cry.

He marries communication with science. Like a good doctor. But he goes further and uses his knowledge to unravel public policy.

We need the best and the brightest in the Senate. That is why I support Abdul El Sayed

Israel does not need our money. Israel needs to get rid of the Netanyahu government which acts like a Nazi party.

Been waiting for this moment for 10 yrs since when the Dems cut off Bernie. I'm so tired of waiting, so tired of getting nothing out of my tax money. The time has come for real change

Thank you Anand for this interview with Abdul. He is what this country needs and so hoping he is elected. It is so refreshing and encouraging to listen to intelligent and sincere people.

Love that. I need you to like you- ‘stop voting against your best interests’ is great advice

Wonderful conversation. Wish I could vote for him to be my Senator.

Dr El-Sayed’s common sense and compassion are so refreshing. As long as corporate money and special interests buy elections and influence our representatives, we cannot have democracy. Thank you, sir, for holding steadfast and for being willing to reach across the aisle and expose the grift that is modern politics. I don’t live in Michigan but I’m rooting for you! 🔥

Dr El-Sayed is just brilliant and I hope he wins!!

Every time he speaks, more than any other Leftie, I actually think he could be president. I hope Michiganders give themselves this great Senator.

Jan's avatar

Yep: I’m all for ending Citizens United and for expanding SCOTUS to dilute that extreme Catholicism

I desperately hope that El-Sayed, and other leaders like him, will soon make up the majority of the Democratic Party.

His authenticity and ethics dwarfs that of Schumer, Jeffries, and most mainstream Democratic leaders.

How can anyone justify voting to send billions more to Israel when they commit war crimes and genocide? Israel is also a wealthy nation whose people have free health care and higher education.

They are also a nuclear armed state. They are a brutal aggressor who have bombed 7 countries in the last year. They don’t need more of our money

El-Sayed is spot on in calling this out and saying we need to use US tax dollars to provide healthcare at home.
