It’s not hard to obtain the issues you mention when Democrats are in Charge focused on the Working classes that create Jobs!

Repub voters are manipulated to believe if Wealthy don’t get tax cuts our Economy will collapse!

Repub tax cuts—
Folks earning $50,000 get $250 annually- less than $1 a day!

Abdul El-Sayed captures the core progressive vision: keeping public resources focused on domestic priorities like infrastructure, education, and universal healthcare. Real security and prosperity start by investing directly in our own communities to make everyday life easier and more affordable.

This was his closer in Marquette last night, end of U.P. tour with AOC. 1200+ at NMU. His answer to Vance calling him "a little weasel" in Monroe hours earlier. Michigan Senate is a toss-up, this is the message: keep money in Michigan, not culture wars.

@isosolies.bsky.social · 16/10/2026 06:56

If Michigan doesnt elect him and votes for his useless opponent instead I don't know what to say.

@hikercat.bsky.social · 16/10/2026 06:43

Spending on infrastructure creates jobs. More jobs means people have money to buy goods, services and invest; creating more jobs and more people able to buy goods, services and invest which creates even more jobs an so on. Its called trickle up economy. Everyone benefits.

@lawrencekik.bsky.social · 16/10/2026 13:07

I believe it used to be called “a rising tide lifts all boats.” The GOP loves the trickle down theory as they want to piss on all the rest of us.
