If I understand it roughly ok, “Abdul” is related to the Ancient Greek word: “doulos” means “servant”, exactly who a Senator should be.

He is a real person! I will never understand why some Americans don't think our government who collects money from us should not spend our money on us. When you take measure, Abdul is a real patriot. Our current president is a Russian asset. Plain to see what is what.

Katie @nastywomanvotes.bsky.social · 18/10/2026 14:44

I just returned home from there last night after visiting family. I only saw 1 trump sign. I saw a fair amount of Mike Rogers signs... but there we're an equal amount of Abdul El-Sayed signs. There we're a bunch of "End the Corruption, Vote Dem" and "Vote Blue" signs (along the 134 and I-75).

Again, El-Sayed and a number of other Dems are doing this right; learning from what Maygar did in Hungary to overturn an even more entrenched competitive autocracy in Hungary.

Give up on no one, and focus on the rampant corruption impacting everyone (except the Oligarch class).

Also, anywhere “they” tell you not to go that Trump already has it locked, definitely go and spend more time and more money in those places. 😂

@eric-of-the-valley.bsky.social · 17/10/2026 19:10

When I was a kid in the UP, everyone was a Democrat because they’d had a history of protecting unions. If we go back to those roots, we will take back the UP!

@severn3024.bsky.social · 18/10/2026 01:39

Exactly!

Leslie @feralleslie.bsky.social · 17/10/2026 19:26

Yes! Exactly. My stepmom was from the UP and that whole side of our family were democrats because of unions. The UP would happily go blue if the democrats would go back to being the true working class party.

You need to keep going and set expectations ! Turning this death boat around is gonna take time - ask for time, like a bone healing or some other relatable medical condition if you don’t, that’s leave those lying GOPers to squawk. Don’t give them an inch !!!!

Let's becreal, the Democrsts who suggest abandoning chunks of the country to Republicans, do so because they WANT the Republicans to be in piwer.

It's that simple. They're sellouts and cronies.

@marketdoctor.bsky.social · 17/10/2026 18:55

It's like a Trump rally, but with people.

RogersIvy @rogersivy.bsky.social · 17/10/2026 18:44

The funny thing is Trump couldnt give 2 "F..s" about America! That's a true statement. If it didnt involve him, his family, his Administration or MAGA, It wasn't something positive he did 2 help. Talk 2 everyone U no, that its time 2 look out 4 ur Family 2 make things better.
