re: Michigan Senate Debate just posted: Rogers v El-Sayed

You sound like every other never trumper. Concern troll much? You're just a Democrat in sheep's clothing. Much like the politicians you're pulling for.

Islamaphobic? Why does that even exist?

Is there amishphobia? Seventhdayphobia? Perhaps people have an irrational fear or coptics? Copticphobia?

I wonder what aspect of the current and historical Islam would have people afraid of it?

Absolutely unjustified concern about Islam. It's a very peaceful religion. Historically and in its own book and hadiths. For sure.

Lmao Rogers pretty much called him a Muslim Terrorist for 45 mins straight. At least Abdul is concerned with helping the people of Michigan. All Rogers cares about is lining his pockets.

More boring canned talking points.

This one hits home for me and I'll avoid getting fired up. My family is in this country because of what the ottomans did in southern Europe.

Why do you think Bosnia is a Muslim country? Convert or die

Christianity did not spread via the sword. The entire history of the Muslim expansion is rooted in violence. Nearly all of it. There are specific hadiths regarding the treatment of non Muslims

Not going to touch your infantile understanding of the crusades.

Just curious, why does the dome of the rock exist when Islam wasn't even a thing in biblical history? How on earth does a religion from 610 AD, have so much control over a old city of jews and Christians?

Bottom line, Islamophobia is not the issue. Muslims by and large do not assimilate, they are anti-Semitic, fascistic, misogynistic, do not respect women's rights, do you want me to go on?

Under no circumstance should a Muslim in the United States have an elected office.

Rogers sounded like every other republican when it comes to taking about El-Sayed, just blatant Islamophobic attacks. He didn’t talk about any policies that would actually help Michiganders, or about how Trumps policies have hurt them.

just obvious lies

I'd appreciate it if you offered your take on how it actually went if you do watch it.

Finished. Found an online poll...



Of the hundreds of comments I scrolled through on YouTube, I only saw 5 comments that weren't for El-Sayed. Those were all critical of Medicare for All. Maybe I missed it, but I saw ZERO comments that suggested Rogers won...and NewsNation viewers tend to be centrist.

As for content, Rogers was 90% attack of El-Sayed. In addition to the Muzzies are a security risk, he frequently accused El-Sayed of being a phony. He used the line "he's not even a real doctor line" a couple of times. Kinda backfired though because the moderator would then say, "You're response DOCTOR El-Sayed." I don't think it was moderator bias...what was he going to call someone with an M.D. and a PhD..."MISTER El-Sayed?"

Rogers was good on projecting his image as a tough on security (FBI agent).and national defense background.

El-Sayed probably spent 15% of his time attacking Rogers for being beholden to corporate donors and being more concerned about sending money to foreign countries than spending that money at home. He focused mostly on economics.

Stylistically, El-Sayed was very smooth. Rogers was also good. Both seem really well prepared. Neither of them hesitated in what they were saying. Impressive by both.

Bottom line. Rogers LOOKED the part better. IF a voter was open to voting for a Muslim, El-Sayed probably picked up way more votes because he really stayed on message with economic issues.

I think Kalshi will move 2-5 points higher for El-Sayed after tonight.

Have you ever been to Greece? Ask the Greeks what they think about Muslims. They've had a very long history with Muslims and it wasn't pretty.

That's interesting, because Michigan is ran by Democrats and all the states gaining population because of lifestyle issues are red states.

12 of the last 16 at the federal level up to 2024 were Democrats in control.

The biggest LOL that Democrats have is their bitching about healthcare, which is their signature policy with the ACA since, at least 50-60 years?
Yet, they try to pin the healthcare issues in the country on republicans?

They can't even get Medicaid for all up and running in a new England state of under a million because of cost, so they abandoned it. But they want it for 350 million people including illegals?

Asinine.

When I was in Greece, it was interesting hearing her take on Muslims. She does not like them.
